Forgotten Grief

In the desolate expanse of Abbyss, Arizona, fifteen-year-old Ricardo Fergie lives an untroubled life, his youthful exuberance a stark contrast to the harsh landscape. Alongside him is Phoenix Sergie, a newcomer from Moscow, who bears the weight of a foreign past. Their friendship blossoms amid shared dreams and the thrill of adventure, particularly their obsession with a video game called The Gun, where danger lurks in every corner.



However, the normalcy of their lives shatters when a thunderous explosion rocks their school, plunging Sergie into a harrowing nightmare. Awakening alone in a dark, abandoned classroom, he confronts a chilling reality where bones litter the halls and despair hangs heavy in the air. Determined to find Ricardo, he embarks on a treacherous journey through the desolation of Abbyss, where nature has reclaimed the ruins of civilization.



As dusk falls, Sergie encounters Dante Vex, a mysterious young man with striking white hair who claims to be a vampire. Despite his initial skepticism, Sergie's need for companionship drives him to accept Dante's offer of shelter. Their interactions blend humor with tension, and as they navigate the perils of their ravaged world, Sergie grapples with his feelings of loneliness and fear.



Together, they uncover dark secrets hidden in the shadows, and Sergie clings to the hope of reuniting with Ricardo, all while facing the uncertain dangers that lurk in the remnants of their once-vibrant town. In this eerie tale of survival and friendship, Sergie must confront not only the horrors of their reality but also the depth of his own courage and resilience in a world turned upside down.
