When the Omega‑9 comet crosses the night sky, civilization doesn’t collapse, it decays. In a crumbling Richmond apartment building, eleven‑year‑old Jimmy and a small group of children are trapped as the dead rise, adults fall, and the rules of the world disappear overnight. A haunted priest questions his faith, and a war‑scarred veteran confronts humanity’s darkest instincts. The story is a ruthless exploration of lost innocence, survival, and how thin the line between human and monster becomes when the world ends.
