And he did. His miracle weight-loss injection transformed modern medicine, helped millions, and made him the celebrated face of a healthier future. Then the reports begin. Aggression. Memory loss. Neurological collapse. Dead patients who refuse to stay dead. Slimbies. After the world falls apart, Carter is put in charge of the Delaware Safe Zone, a fortified community designed to preserve what remained of humanity. But walls can only keep the monsters outside for so long. And if a few lives must be sacrificed to save everyone else... then someone has to be willing to make that choice. With every failure, Carter pushes farther beyond the boundaries he once believed science should never cross. The people closest to him begin questioning the man they trusted, especially Ben, the boy Carter has spent years shaping into his legacy. Carter knows history rarely remembers the cost of survival. But it will certainly remember the person who saved the world. Slimbies: Carter is a dark companion novella about ambition, control, and the terrible distance between wanting to save humanity and believing you are the only one who can.

Before the Delaware Safe Zone. Before Ben escaped. Before the world collapsed into hunger and ruin… There was a family, a winter, and a puppy who would become Girl. SLIMBIES: GIRL — an intro novella to the Slimbies saga.

The world changed when a miracle weight-loss injection swept the globe. Pushed by celebrities, influencers, and corporations desperate to sell a better version of yourself. It worked.
People got skinny. Healthy. Happy.
Then they got hungry. For flesh.
Now, years after the collapse, the world is a patchwork of safe zones and silent ruins haunted by what survivors call Slimbies. Loose-skinned. Hollow-eyed. Driven by endless hunger. Soulless masses that still mimic pieces of the people they used to be.
Ben was just a kid when the world collapsed. After spending years trapped inside the Delaware Safe Zone, a walled survival zone built on lies, he finally decides to escape into the ruins beyond the fence.
What begins as a desperate escape from the Delaware Safe Zone into the dead towns beyond it slowly becomes something more when he finds a stray dog he names Girl. Along the way, Ben finds other survivors still trying to build lives among the ruins. And discovers that even after the end of the world, people still need each other.
Slimbies is a bleak, emotional post-apocalyptic horror novel about survival, found family, and the quiet ways we save each other when everything else feels lost.
