The Stages of Decay

By Sam Weiss

Tom survived the accident. No one else did.

Months later, hungover and trying to outrun the guilt, he gets roped into going on a hike. That doesn't last long when he gets lost in the woods.

The deeper Tom wanders, the more the forest changes. The air buzzes. The ground shifts. The trees seem to breathe. And soon, he's no longer alone.

The dead from the accident are here.

What starts as a fight for survival becomes a descent into buried memories, unraveling sanity, and a truth he can no longer outrun. Something out there knows what really happened the day of the accident.

And it's not going to let Tom leave.
