Prologue
I couldn't save him, even if I tried to. One minute he was behind me, the next he was on the ground rolling in pain. He screamed for me to run away, but I didn't. The past seven days had been hell for him. His Dad died, his Mom went into a coma, and him; he just dealt with it all. He told me about the book the night he slept over. He wouldn't let me see it. He knew he was going to die. He just didn't tell me how. She was following us. She was everywhere we went. Everyone knew.The story about the cursed videotape was everywhere now. Somehow, somewhere, someone wrote a book.A cursed book. And all who read it will be cursed, given the virus.Tonight I'm going over to his house. I'm going to search every room, every corner for that book. And I'm going to read every page of it. Nothing can stop me. And if I take my last breath without finding a way for others to survive, I'll never let her escape from the murky depths of the dark place. Because of her, everyone will suffer...
