DEADWEIGHT

by CE Shorland

In a world shattered by a relentless pandemic, survival comes at a cost few are prepared to pay. As civilisation collapses, the lines between right and wrong blur, and the people left behind are forced to decide who they are when there are no rules left to follow.

A group of survivors fights to stay alive in a landscape shaped by fear, shifting alliances, and ruthless power. Every choice carries weight. Every mistake leaves a mark. And the further they push forward, the more the world demands from them in return.

But when their path leads them into the hands of something far more controlled, and far more dangerous, survival becomes a different kind of battle. One where power is enforced, loyalty is tested, and escape may cost them everything.

As the past refuses to stay buried and the future grows more uncertain, they must confront what they're willing to sacrifice - not just to live, but to hold onto what makes them human.

Because in this world, survival isn't the end goal.
It's only the beginning.
