REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE TOUCHING HER
RAYNAThe explosion of the transport truck was still burning behind us. A towering column of bright red fire tore through the heavy silver fog, turning the whole mountain pass into a twisted, glowing hellscape.Through my frosted suit visor, I watched the shapes moving out in the road.They weren't acoustic walkers. They didn't have the strange, pulsing skin or the hollow heads. These were human bodies. Dead bodies. Men and women who had frozen to death on this highway two weeks ago, their skin black and hard as iron, their old winter coats shredded by the wind.They moved with horrible, jerky steps. Their legs snapped forward like broken wooden sticks, their heads tilted back at unnatural angles. The blue ice had crept straight into their frozen muscles, controlling them from the inside like puppets on wire. One of them dragged a rusted iron crowbar across the asphalt. Another dragged a heavy mining pick, the steel tip screeching against the frozen road."Puppet husks," I rasped into
REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE STRANGER IN THE ICE FOG
LIORThe airlock overhead pump sputtered out, leaving only a small green indicator light pulsing above the interior door frame.I kept my heavy back pressed flat against the iron outer hatch, my boots planted wide, my rifle raised toward the dark. My suit's internal heating coils were whining with a low, dying hum. I stayed completely still, listening through the thick insulation of my helmet for whatever had just tapped on the iron from the highway outside.Silence. Nothing answered except the long, hollow moan of the wind tearing through the canyon."Lior," Rayna rasped over our suit radio, her voice crackling through the short-range band. Her face behind the frosted visor was pale, her dark eyes wide. "Unlatch the interior seal. The airlock sensors show the atmosphere inside is stable. We need to swap these power packs before our suit coils go dead."I turned the heavy iron wheel and threw the interior hatch open.The maintenance hub was small, concrete-walled, and smelled like bur
REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE POISONOUS AIR
RAYNAThe cold outside our thermal suits was lethal, but inside, the heating coils were dying.I tapped the control panel on my wrist sleeve. The digital readout pulsed a weak, dying amber: BATTERY LIFE: 14%. COIL OUTPUT: CRITICAL.We were wearing heavy, multi-layer arctic mining suits—pressurized, insulated gear built for deep-core subterranean runs. But the extreme atmospheric drop was draining the heavy lithium battery packs strapped to our lower backs at three times the normal rate. Without these suits heated, our blood would turn to solid ice in less than four minutes on the open road.My hand was locked around the handle of my sidearm inside my thick, insulated gauntlet. The rubber suit lining was sticking to my skin, hot with trapped sweat that was slowly turning clammy as the suit heater struggled."Keep your suit power on low conserve," Lior growled over the short-range helmet comms. His voice came through the earpiece rough, flat, and choked with static. "We have three miles
REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE CHANGE IN TIME
RAYNAThe static burst out of the radio speaker, high and sharp enough to make my teeth ache.I dropped straight to my knees in the snowbank, my gloves tearing open as I clawed at Lior’s shoulder rig to grab the frequency dial. My heart was pounding like a hammer inside my ribs."Filter the signal!" I screamed.Lior didn't answer. He threw his big body over mine, blocking the freezing wind, his rifle pointed straight down the dark highway. Miller and Red tumbled out of the pipe behind us, dragging Dr. Theodora into the white drift.Mark’s voice came through the crackle. It didn't sound like him. It sounded thin, dry, and terrifyingly small."Commander... if you're receiving this... stay away from the lower drainage vents..." Mark gasped. He was breathing like a man who had just run ten miles in the cold. "It’s been fourteen days... we thought you were dead..."My hand froze on the radio knob."Fourteen days?" I rasped out, turning my head up toward Lior. "Lior... what the hell is he t
REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE STUCK UNDER
LIORThe metal floor under my boots felt like a slab of deep freezer ice. I didn't care about the cold. I didn't care about the dark or the two dead bodies rotting on the tile behind us. I only cared about the woman breathing hard against my chest.Rayna was shaking. Her bare knuckles were split wide open from punching the glass screen, thick dark blood dripping onto the sleeves of my coat. I kept my thick hands locked around her wrists, squeezing hard enough to leave bruises, forcing the heat of my own body straight into her skin."Look at me, Rayna," I growled down into her face. My voice was a dark, rough rasp. "Keep your eyes on me."She pulled against my grip, her small teeth grinding together, her eyes wild with a mix of pure rage and terrifying panic. "Lior, let go of me! We don't have anything! There is no cure! We dragged everyone out here for nothing!""I don't give a shit about the cure," I rasped, stepping right into her space until her back hit the cold steel wall. I lean
REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE DEAD END
RAYNAThe heavy iron door swung open with a gross, loud hiss. The air coming out hit my face like a hard punch. Dr. Paige and Dr. Theodora stepped out of the shadows. They didn't look like scientists. They looked like starving, desperate animals. Their white lab coats were gray and smeared with dark, dried blood. Their cheeks were sunken in, skin stretched tight over bone, eyes big and crazy in the dim red emergency light."Step back! Keep your fucking hands up!" Lior barked.He stepped right in front of me, shoving his big shoulder into my chest to keep me behind him. He raised his heavy rifle. Beside him, Miller and Red lined up, their gun barrels shaking wildly. Their knuckles were white on the plastic grips.Paige didn't raise her hands. She just stood there, her mouth twisting into a dry, ugly grin. Beside her,Theodora hugged a smashed hard drive against her ribs like it was a baby."Where is it?" I rasped, shoving Lior's arm out of my way. My chest was so tight I could barely p
