Adam Sciver’s story draws readers in with a protagonist whose flaws make him compelling. His gambling problem and financial struggles aren’t just background details—they actively shape his decisions, making the early parts of the story feel grounded and real. The slow, creeping tension leading up to the outbreak is handled masterfully, with small unsettling moments hinting at something being wrong before everything spirals into chaos. And the ending? The sirens blaring serve as a gripping final note, leaving a lasting impact. That said, certain aspects of Adam’s life could have been explored more before the outbreak took over. While his desperation for money is clear, lingering on it a bit longer would have allowed the weight of his situation to settle in more deeply. The city itself also had the potential for richer descriptions—there’s a strong eerie atmosphere, but a few extra details could have made it even more immersive. Overall, the story opens with a strong blend of personal drama and larger-scale horror. With a bit more depth in certain areas, it has the potential to go from good to truly great.
I didn’t expect to get so drawn into Adam Sciver’s story, but his flaws make him surprisingly compelling. His gambling problem and financial struggles aren’t just background details—they shape his decisions and make the early parts of the story feel grounded. The slow, creeping tension leading up to the outbreak is handled well, with small moments that hint at something being wrong before everything spirals out of control. And that ending? The sirens blaring was a perfect way to leave things on a gripping note. That said, I did feel like some aspects of Adam’s life could have been explored more before the outbreak took over. His desperation for money is clear, but I wanted to sit with it longer, really feel the weight of his situation before the chaos hit. Also, the city itself could have been described in more detail—there’s a solid eerie atmosphere, but a few extra touches could have made it even more immersive. Overall, it’s a strong opening. It blends personal drama with larger-scale horror effectively, and I’m definitely curious to see what happens next. A bit more depth in certain areas, and this could go from good to great.
I liked the grounded approach to Adam Sciver’s character. His struggles with money and gambling make him feel real, and the slow buildup to the outbreak was well done. The sense of unease grows naturally, with small hints that something is off before things take a turn for the worse. The ending, with the sirens blaring, was a strong hook. That said, some parts felt a bit rushed. Adam’s job situation and his desperation for money are introduced quickly, but I wish there was more time to really feel his struggles before the outbreak took center stage. Also, while the writing is effective, there were moments where it could’ve used more description—especially in the city scenes. The eerie atmosphere was there, but a little more detail could’ve made it even stronger. Overall, it’s a solid start. The story does a good job balancing personal struggles with the larger crisis, and I’m curious to see where it goes. With a bit more depth in some areas, it could be even better.
