__MidnightMusings__
When Josh looks out at the ruins of the old Hollywood Sign, she doesn't see history, she sees targets.
Every night, rifle in hand, she watches what's left of a broken world. The stories her mother used to tell, red carpets, flashing cameras, glittering gowns, feel like they belonged to someone else's life.
Because this world?
It's gone.
Now there are only the infected. The desperate. And the nights where survival isn't guaranteed.
With her younger brother Don, her cousin Lela, and Lela's twin sister Dean, Josh is doing whatever it takes to stay alive. They move fast. Stay quiet. Trust no one.
But something isn't right.
Josh is stronger than she should be. Faster. Sharper. The things that hunt them don't always act the way they should around her.
And the dreams are getting worse.
Fragments of a past she can't remember. A voice she can't forget. A name that doesn't feel like hers.
As the truth begins to surface, Josh is forced to face a terrifying possibility:
She may not just be surviving this nightmare.
She may be the reason it exists.
