October first. National Day. The campus should have been empty.
Dongying is so flat you can see the pumpjacks at the edge of the world. Six thousand students have gone home for Golden Week, or gone home early because of a flu nobody wants another lockdown for. Masks at the canteen door. A red banner on the gate. A foreign teacher running the long loop because the track makes him feel like a hamster.
Aaron Doyle stayed. So did Lucy, who comes twice a week to fix her writing, and Serena, who was only supposed to feed the cat in the apartment next door. At 4:41 every phone in the building screams. Across the canal, a man in hospital pajamas walks a woman down on the path. For a second it looks like a hug.
She gets back up.
What follows is a survival story told at the size of one college. A steel gate. Water on two sides. Seventeen people who registered as staying over, and a guard who will not leave his post without an order. The dead are slow. They follow sound. A noise brings a moan, and the moan brings more of them, until the gate is loud because the gate is full, and full because it is loud.
The harder problem is the living. Who saw the wound. Who goes out alone. Who holds the key to the food. Trust thins. Want does not. This is a novel about the first weeks of a collapse, about counting the living out loud so the number stays true, and about what people reach for when the city outside the fence will not lie back down.
Golden Week is Book One of The Delta Dead, a grounded outbreak series set on the oilfield coast of China. It continues in Yellow Wind.

About the Author
I'm an indie author, fully self-published, with no big company or safety net behind me. Every book I put out is me against the odds, fueled by late nights and the belief that stories matter. Writing isn't just what I do, it's what keeps me alive and moving forward when life tries to pull me under.
I've traveled across the world, carrying notebooks full of ideas and half-finished plots, always searching for the next spark of inspiration. When I'm not writing, I enjoy mountain climbing, strong coffee, and spending time with my dog. I love building stories that twist emotions, places, and people into something worth getting lost in.
Every reader who picks up one of my books isn't just buying words, they're fueling the journey and giving me the chance to keep creating. Your support keeps the dream alive.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
