Synopsis
In a fog-covered coastal city, humanity is slowly losing its memories. It begins with small things - forgotten names, childhood events, and familiar faces - but soon becomes far more horrifying. People start forgetting how to speak, how to recognize themselves, and eventually how to survive. Some victims are drawn to the ocean at night, walking into the water and disappearing beneath the fog without leaving ripples. Dr. Scott Lockwood, a trauma and memory therapist, begins treating patients experiencing disturbing symptoms. They hear whispers from dead phone lines and radios, as if their forgotten memories are calling them back. Scott soon notices patterns - his patients are connected to him in ways he cannot explain. His own memories of his sister's disappearance begin changing, rewriting themselves into darker, more disturbing versions of events he thought he knew. As he investigates, Scott discovers the memory loss is not a disease but a survival mechanism triggered by something ancient buried beneath the city. Long ago, humanity discovered a terrifying truth and collectively chose to forget it. Now, something beneath the city is waking up and demanding the return of emotional meaning, identity, and history. Scott learns he was psychologically guided into becoming a memory archivist for this entity. His job was to collect and preserve memories before they were erased forever. He must choose between saving humanity's memories and risking the awakening of something that could destroy the world - or allowing humanity to forget the truth forever, even if it means losing himself in the process.

The Subway
Suspense·Jae-Jae
She hated riding the subway. It was cramped, smelled, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable to sit on for hours on end. Now add a group of crazy mask-wearing, weapon-wielding, maniacs to the ever growing list of reasons why Gemma hated riding the subway. Gemma Conners is your average eighteen year old and for the past two years she's been riding the subway to and from school with no problem. She always expected the same ol' same ol'. Cramped spaces, hard seats, and perverts staring her up and down and "accidentally" bumping into her and blaming it on the train as it jostled people into one another. Never did she expect a group of masked men to rush in and hold everyone onboard hostage, demanding that they all play along with their sick and twisted idea of a "game". It was either that or die. To add on to her ever growing list of problems, one of the passengers onboard just so happens to be Archer Daniels, your typical high school "heartthrob" and Gemma's classmate. Her day just kept getting better and better. With Gemma's luck, she'd be lucky if she lasted five minutes. Yep. She really hated the subway.

Suspense·RachelAukes
In one day, the world succumbed to a pestilence that decimated the living. In its place rose a new species: vicious, gruesome, wandering zombies with an insatiable hunger for the living. Still in her twenties, Cash has watched her friends die, only to walk again. An office worker with few survival skills, she joins up with Clutch, a grizzled Army veteran with PTSD. Together, they flee the city and struggle through the nine circles of hell, with nothing but Clutch's military experience and Cash's determination to live. As they fight to survive in the zombie inferno, they quickly discover that nowhere is safe from the undead...or the living. (100 Days in Deadland is a journey through the first poem in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, the classic tale on the horrors of hell... zombie apocalypse style!)
