The Debt Walks

In a world where the power grid has failed and humanity clings to makeshift compounds, Marcus Vale built his sanctuary on one unshakeable rule: everyone pays their debt. He’s a fixer, a survivor who keeps two hundred souls fed and safe, but his carefully constructed order is about to shatter. When a new kind of infected appears at the gate—one that doesn't lurch or moan, but simply waits—Vale faces a threat unlike any he's ever known. This isn't just about survival; it's about a past he thought he'd buried, a ledger of old scores, and the chilling realization that some debts walk back from the dead. Can he protect his people from a silent, patient horror that seems to know him, or will the ultimate price finally be collected?
