Yellow Stringer #1

Naomi, the sharp-eyed reporter for The Yellow Stringer, teams up with her new partner Tony Ferrari, a skeptical ex-cop with a past he’s not ready to discuss, on their first case: the mysterious theft of an ancient Egyptian artifact from a local museum. As they dig into the story, the line between sensational headlines and something far stranger begins to blur.

When Naomi grows suspicious of The Curator’s secrecy, she and Tony Ferrari sneak into the museum after dark, only to uncover a nightmarish truth: the missing artifact is still there, and the halls are now crawling with zombies where the security staff should be.

In the crumbling heart of a city overrun by the undead, Naomi and Tony race against time to find The Curator, desperate for answers as they evade both zombies and the terrifyingly reanimated corpse of Queen Rehema Abayomi—whose presence hints at a deeper, darker mystery buried beneath the chaos.

In "Sleepy Desert Hollow," Naomi and Tony Ferrari venture into a secluded cemetery where three underworld figures were found beheaded, drawn by whispers of a buried secret. As they dig through the dust and silence, Tony confronts the crooked cop who once destroyed his career—Det. Frank Spain—whose presence in the hollow feels less like coincidence and more like a long-awaited reckoning. The Headless Soldier watches from the shadows, silent and waiting.

In "Meet-Cute," Naomi finds herself trapped in a tense standoff after being abducted by a man she once rejected, locked inside one of the paper's offices with a gun at her throat. Meanwhile, Jo—drawn to Naomi after a fleeting bar encounter—steps in with unexplained gifts, determined to save her before the situation spirals.

In "Birthday Boy," Naomi finds herself trapped in the body of a teenage girl arrested by Tony Ferrari in a moment long buried in his past, as an ancient entity known as the Abyss Demon of Choice feeds on Tony’s lingering regret. With the weight of a single decision echoing through time, Naomi must navigate a memory that holds more than just guilt—it holds the key to what Tony truly lost.

Naomi and Jo’s quiet date-night takes a sharp turn when they witness Tony Ferrari being dragged into a cab with a driver who doesn’t breathe. As the night deepens, Naomi finds herself targeted by The Demon Head, who offers her a deal to walk away from the truth—before she’s even begun to uncover it.
