    Summary

    Two lives cross where they shouldn’t. Between what is real and what is pretend lies a dangerous question—what happens when the heart forgets the difference?

    Summary

    (“This will sting,” Mira warned, tipping the brown bottle to a fresh pad.

    The antiseptic hit, and Rumi’s body jolted upright from the fiery sting, a sharp hiss cut the space, as Rumi breathed in through gritted teeth.

    “Ah…fuck..! ow…” Her head knocked the wall lightly. “Hot.”

    “I know.” Mira braced her wrist gently. “It’s the worst part. You’re doing well.”)

    There was an off-campus warehouse party. Glitter in the cups, bass like a heartbeat, everybody swaying in time; then the city woke up wrong.

    “Please stand by,” said the TV, and then it never stood again.

    Outside, something knocks back; three taps, long pause, then a fourth tap that asks a question. There is a listening stillness where breath should be.

    This isn’t your average Zombie Story.

    It’s three girls deciding how to keep each other soft without getting killed, how to be brave without being loud, and what to do when the world starts moving like a puppet on a string.

    Summary

    He felt her before he saw her, a thrum in the air as the barrier’s strings rippled out, a sense of wrong filling his body. It was strange, feeling the ingrained wariness of a Hunter clash with the innate safety from a demons presence within the same being.

    And then he saw her.

    Summary

    Mira and Zoey don’t know this yet (they will, one day soon, they will), but Rumi died for the first time the Monday after her eleventh birthday.

    Or

    Rumi inhaled, the rush of air filling her lungs, inflating that tiny balloon called hope trapped behind her ribs.

    “I love you, Celine.”

    The words tumbled out of her gracelessly, but so so sweetly. She waited, and all the while, that little balloon grew and grew, the plastic skin of it stretching and thinning with every second before—

    “You too,” Celine said back.

    ‘Pop.’

    “Celine,” Rumi tried again, voice shaking as tears she didn’t even know she still had left to shed began to drip down her left cheek. “Celine, I said I love you.

    Or

    If demons (even half-demons) could kill themselves, there probably wouldn't be many left. Rumi doesn't know this, yet. She learns.
