White Tomb
Beneath the ice, something waits.
When Dr. Mara Keene arrives at Polaris-6, a remote Antarctic research station buried under miles of ice, she thinks she’s there to investigate a long-dormant anomaly, one the world has forgotten, and others died trying to bury.
Her team is the best. Trained. Prepared. But none of them are ready for what’s beneath.
Because something ancient is waking.
And it’s not alien, not in any way we understand, and not born of Earth, though it has waited here longer than life itself. It has shaped evolution before. It is ready to shape it again. Reality begins to fracture. Time twists. Memory slips. One by one, her team begins to unravel.
As the line between mind and world collapses, Mara realizes this isn’t an expedition.
It’s a resurrection.
Terrifying, immersive, and relentlessly original, White Tomb is a descent into deep-time horror…a story about what comes after the end of humanity, and the intelligence waiting beneath the ice to begin again.

Follow Mara in her search for answers to her dad's disappearance from an arctic research station he worked at. Something hidden beneath the ice was awakened or has it always been there?
This unique short story was very suspenseful and at times pretty creepy.
Loved this concept and I really enjoyed this!
