The Defiled
A professor wakes from a coma to find biblical plagues becoming reality.

Now awake, he faces a new threat from a mysterious stranger appearing in the dead of night. She informs him that the visions were not mere dreams but warnings of impending doom. The prophecy of the Seven Plagues is real and about to come to pass. Grader must decide whether to trust this nocturnal Angel or ignore the signs. If he ignores them, he suffers the fate of humanity as the Gates of Hell open. The story focuses on his internal conflict and the external pressure of divine judgment.
