In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others "the pests." The predators, who see everyone as prey. And lastly, we have "the survivors," the resilient ones who never give up. Everyone often fits into one category, but it's hard to determine which one Maya falls into. She's not exactly a fighter, considering leaving her room was a chore even before the apocalypse. A predator? No way—she's always been a pushover. You might think she's a survivor, but that's laughable. She'd rather die from starvation than resort to scavenging. So, how should we categorize her? leeche? Nope. Perhaps a new category is needed: "The Lost"—those struggling to find their place in a shattered world."

Emily, the protagonist of this tale, is a woman consumed by a past she cannot escape. She seeks solace in solitude, finding refuge in the quiet confines of her own existence. But fate, or perhaps a darker force, has other plans for her. A chance encounter with a mysterious stranger, Mark, leads her to a secluded forest, a place where the boundaries between reality and nightmare blur. This forest is not a haven of peace, but a realm of the damned, a place where forgotten souls wander, their stories echoing in the whispers of the wind. Emily is trapped between the world of the living and the dead, caught in a relentless onslaught of horrors. She faces a cast of chilling characters, each one a manifestation of her own inner demons. As she struggles to survive, Emily must confront not only the horrors that surround her, but also the demons that haunt her from within. The forest becomes a crucible, a place where she is tested to her very core, forced to face the depths of her own fear and the enduring power of the human spirit.
