Making a choice can be difficult in even the best circumstances, but when zombies are thrown into the mix, the stakes are literally life or death. Trapped in an impossible situation with three other survivors, Mallory Dearden does her best to outrun the undead in order to keep her diverse quartet alive. Having reached a bizarre structure in the middle of a forest, Mallory is forced to put her wit and will to the test; though her friends bravely negotiate a labyrinth of dead ends and capricious obstacles in seek of refuge, these four doomed souls seem to be grimly aware of a fate much darker than they're willing to acknowledge. While seemingly a complete departure from the Life After canon, this peculiar short fixates on the unexplored depths of the series' most inscrutable tome, calling into question whether the ethical and moral quandaries of modern society are much different in the throes of an apocalypse…
