Undone
A zombie retains consciousness while fighting its own rotting nature.
The narrative centers on an undead entity that defies the standard rules of infection by maintaining fragments of its former self. This condition creates immediate conflict with the surrounding horde, which senses the anomaly and drives the individual away. The protagonist must then decide whether to approach a human settlement or return to the mindless swarm. The story does not rely on survival tactics but rather on the psychological weight of being different in a world that demands conformity. Borden uses this premise to examine themes of isolation and the fear of losing one's moral compass. The setting remains ambiguous, focusing instead on the internal landscape of a creature caught between two worlds. This method allows for a deeper exploration of what it means to be alive when the body is dead. The plot moves forward through the protagonist's growing realization that their condition is both a curse and a chance for redemption.
Undone enters the contemporary horror market in 2024, published by C.B. Writing Solutions. It challenges long-standing tropes of the zombie genre by prioritizing introspection over action. The work sits within the broader tradition of supernatural fiction that questions the boundary between life and death.

The narrative excels in its unique psychological angle, blending suspense with deep introspection to create a distinct entry point for fans of gothic fiction. It suits readers who prefer emotional depth and are interested in the tension between biological instinct and emerging empathy.
