Don’t Follow The Eyes

DON'T FOLLOW THE EYES

A Zero Plague Story

By day three of the world ending, Will has already learned one rule:

if something is screaming, you run the other way.

But the sign on the abandoned highway isn't screaming.

It's just standing there in the middle of the road, painted in dried blood:

DON'T FOLLOW THE EYES

With the town burning behind them and the army overrun in the cities, Will, his best friend Jack, ex-clinic nurse Samantha, and sixteen-year-old Lily have one desperate plan—cut through the woods and reach the rumored North Ridge base before dark.

The forest has other ideas.

Something in the trees is watching.

It speaks in the voices of people they love.

It uses the dead like cameras and loudspeakers, turning every corpse into another pair of eyes.

Holed up in a lonely cabin with night closing in and the infected gathering outside, Will has to face the one thing he's been running from since the outbreak began: the doors he opened, the ones he didn't… and the choice he'll have to make before sunrise.

Set in the world of Zero Plague: Outbreak, this tense, brutal novella can be read as a standalone entry point or as a chilling companion story for fans of fast, character-driven zombie horror.
