Still Walking

Surviving the Mountains, Memories, and Monsters

STILL WALKING
Surviving the Mountains, Memories, and Monsters

by William Ferrier Jr.

When the plane went down, Maya thought the worst thing she’d face was the cold.

She was wrong.

Maya Chen-Rodriguez survives the impossible—an air-crash deep in the Bitterroot Mountains. Injured, alone, and with a damaged prosthetic leg, she should not be alive. But when she discovers her grandmother Rose wandered from the wreckage—confused, bleeding, and slipping into the fog of early-onset dementia—Maya makes a decision that will change her forever.

She goes after her.

What Maya doesn’t know is that something else survived the crash too.
Something ancient.
Something hungry.
Something that has been watching them from the trees.

With temperatures plummeting, infection spreading through Maya’s leg, and Rose losing her grip on reality, every step becomes a battle—against the wilderness, against time, and against the monstrous presence stalking them through the dark.

But Maya has already learned the cruel math of survival:
you don’t need two legs to keep walking—only one reason not to stop.

As storm fronts close in and the forest begins to reveal its real danger, Maya and Rose must rely on each other in ways neither expected. Their bond will be tested by hunger, memory, fear, and the thin line between love and letting go.

And in the end, survival won’t be about strength.
It will be about who they’re willing to become.
