Dead Faces Don''''t Bleed By Fiun "Luna" Volnovikov You will wake up one day to discover your name erased. Your skin unfamiliar. Your mind not yours. Reality is broken; but nobody remembers the sound it made when it shattered. Carmen was supposed to be normal. School, sports, a future he could picture. Elena was a myth in her own classroom—absent, brilliant, enigmatic. Their worlds weren''''t supposed to cross. Until something opened. Until somebody screamed. Until they stopped dreaming and began to bleed inside. Now Carmen is Root—a young man who can impale with his own spine. Elena is Omega—a girl who has power over mirror shards and sees too well. They wake up in a world that isn''''t their own, one where humans wear their traumas as skin, and gods are constructed out of silence and rot. But the worst are never the monsters. They''''re the pieces of you that return. wrong. The memories that re-write themselves. The smiles that don’t blink. The friends with too much information. There''''s a war to come. A flagless one. The battlefield is in the mind. And you don''''t remember signing up. It''''s an identity breakdown story, one of silent madness, and a horror story which need not scream in order to kill you. Sometimes the scariest part of waking up— is realizing you didn''''t.
