As The World Dies Upon Me
Shawn's world shatters when a masked man delivers a chilling prophecy: "Don't die, or I will kill you." This nightmare bleeds into reality as a seemingly normal day at school devolves into a terrifying outbreak. When chaos engulfs West Sierra High, Shawn finds himself at the epicenter of an unfolding apocalypse, forced to protect those he cares about. Will he unlock the truth behind the prophecy and his role as 'the key' before the world dies around him?The chill of early morning still clung to the air as Shawn's eyes fluttered open. A dull ache throbbed behind his temples, a lingering echo of the unsettling dream that had plagued his sleep. He pushed himself up, the faint scent of his mother's cooking wafting from downstairs.
“Shawn! Shawn!”
His mother's voice, laced with concern, cut through his grogginess, followed by a splash of cold water to his face. He jolted fully awake, blinking against the sudden assault, to see his mother and five-year-old sister, Ashley, peering down at him, their faces etched with worry.
“Are you okay, son? We heard you downstairs screaming out loud so we thought something bad happened to you.”
He rubbed his eyes, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. “Sorry, Mom. I just had a nightmare.”
