I clutched the diagnosis paper that read "Stage 4 Gastric Cancer," my knuckles turning white. For twenty-two years, no matter how bad things got, Ethan always said he could handle it. But this time, my call only reached his voicemail.

I used to think I was living the perfect life. I had my career as a strategic planner that was respected across the region. I had Kai, my fiancé who I'd loved since we were kids. I even daydreamed about the pups we'd have someday, little ones running around the pack house with his eyes and my stubbornness.

But that was all bullshit.

I climbed through his bathroom window, seeing him at his m...

As the Helix-7 virus devours our world, its 95% mortality rate suffocates me.
