The social horror of Among Us meets a timeless tale of tragic love, in this novella by author and poet Melissa Treglia.

On an exploratory mission to an uncharted planet, science officer Brianna Dawson is infected by a vicious alien virus, causing her to become erratic and violent. The disease is breaking down her resistance and turning her into something strange, something other. Rhys Mayhew, the ship's chief medical officer and Bri's devoted boyfriend, must find a cure... before he ends up losing not only the woman he loves, but the rest of the crew becomes infected as well.
