Where the Dead Begin

The dead don’t rise all at once—they creep in, unnoticed.... Edward is just a stocker at a fading retail store, living paycheck to paycheck and trying not to think too hard about the strange absences, the quiet sirens, and the ever-growing shadows in the aisles. But as unease turns to fear and the first signs of infection appear, it becomes clear: the dead don’t rise all at once—they creep in, unnoticed. What begins as a normal shift soon unravels into something far more sinister, as Edward finds himself at the edge of a world beginning to rot from the inside out. With each chapter, the infection spreads. And with it, Edward must shed the comforts of routine and confront the brutal truths of survival. This isn’t the story of where the world ends. This is where the dead begin.
