They woke with no past. No memories. No escape. Deep within the shifting halls of the SmartArk-a sprawling, high-tech labyrinth designed by minds no one can see-strangers awaken in darkness. Their memories, their lives, and their histories have been erased. All that remains is a single, unrelenting directive: Survive. But survival is not as simple as finding food or shelter. The SmartArk is no ordinary facility. Its architecture bends and reshapes like a living organism, pulling from the collective subconscious of those trapped inside. Walls breathe. Corridors twist without warning. Rooms bloom into impossible spaces-fragments of memories that should not exist. Every step forward feels like sinking deeper into a nightmare you almost remember. For James, the first agonizing breath in this artificial underworld marks the beginning of a descent into psychological chaos. Haunted by a recurring sound that invades his thoughts and stalked by forces both human and artificial, he forges fragile alliances with other survivors: Ashley, sharp and guarded; Sean, boiling with violence; Nick, pragmatic but broken. Each carries secrets the Ark seems determined to expose. Here, identity is a weapon, and trust is a luxury few can afford. Time dissolves into a disorienting blur as grotesque trials push them beyond breaking points-blood-slick mazes, cages consumed by fire, chambers that whisper truths designed to shatter the mind. But beyond these physical horrors lurks something far worse: a presence, watching from behind the walls, manipulating reality like a puppeteer tightening strings. Whispers speak of "The Collective," an unseen power conducting an experiment too vast and cold to comprehend. Why were they chosen? Who built this labyrinth? And what lies beyond its final door? The deeper James ventures, the more the truth claws through the fog of his erased past. But some truths demand a price in blood. In the SmartArk, survival isn't just about escaping death-it's about preserving what's left of your humanity when everything else has been stripped away. The Ones That Walked is a harrowing fusion of psychological horror and science fiction-a story for readers who crave the tension of Cube, the cerebral dread of Annihilation, and the claustrophobic paranoia of House of Leaves. Prepare for an experience where fear isn't just lurking in the shadows-it's woven into the very fabric of your mind. Enter the Ark. Question everything. Trust no one.
