When Maya and Grace wake up for work it's a normal day. They didn't expect it to be any different than a usual work day. Boy were they wrong. On arriving at work they find a bloody mess and begin realizing that people are turning into unstable killing machines. Their friend Jon rescues them before they are hurt but they are all horrified as an epidemic unfolds within the perimeter of the campus. How will they survive and what will happen to them and the people they love if anyone can be turned into a mindless killing machine? How will they escape? Who will lead them in these rising times of peril? What will they face, who will they lose, and how will they keep each other alive? And by alive, they mean alive and themselves. Not moving and killing. Follow along as this rag tag group of teens survive an apocalyptic world that gets worse by the moment. For any who started "Presences", I decided to combine it with "When August Ends" instead of doing two separate books so it is now a part of this single novel.

An infection is spreading across the world, turning humans into beasts. Groups of survivors have turned into each others enemies killing stragglers off and fighting back against the forever growing community of zombies.

The zombie apocalypse started in April. Hannah couldn't fathom how she was able to remember something so irrelevant, although when she has over a year of isolation from any other living human being it's startling as to how much detail and information one person can manage to reminisce. She was 15 years old when it began. Now, she was turning 17 and nothing had gotten better. If anything, everything had become harder. Human extinction was inevitable and the probability of surviving wasn't just slightly possible, it was impossible. Especially when she's alone. Disclaimer- Any similarities to other stories or films is purely accidental and not done intentionally. Obviously, I adopted the idea of zombies and do not claim to have created them.

'I turned around and saw a creeper standing directly behind me, tilting his head to take a bite of my neck. It's breath was putrid, their crooked teeth stained orange from the feeding of animals. I grabbed my knife out of my boot and sliced it's throat. It stumbled back and came at me again. I poised the knife in my hand and forced it into its bloodshot eye. Blood pooled out of its socket as it fell to the ground.' Arizona is living in a world of ruin and wreckage in the wake of a zombie apocalypse. It seems there is no hope for having a normal family someday. People she loves are dying left and right and she doesn't know what to do as they are consumed by the virus. Until her life turns around for the better when she encounters somebody in the forest. The world crumbles down around her, will she ever come out of the rubble alive? And with the ones she loves? *EDITING IN PROGRESS* ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!!!!! ALL CHARACTERS AND PLOTS BELONG TO ME!!!

'I looked out the small window over the sink and saw a creeper dragging it's foot along the grass. I grabbed a long pipe in the corner and walked outside. When it saw me, it tried to come at me faster but was still walking at the same speed it was before, it's mouth biting the air. I walked closer so we were three feet apart. I poked the creeper in the shoulder with the pipe. "That bother you? Well you bother me." I forced the pipe into its eye. It fell to the ground by my feet.' Sequel to Apocalypse, Arizona continues her journey through the world of the zombie apocalypse. Her and Ryan become closer, but have to put their relationship on hold as new problems arise and old foes return, along with new enemies and problems. Will the Virus ever stop claiming victims? Or will Arizona be condemned to this forsaken world for the rest of her life?

"Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven" - John Milton, 'Paradise Lost' When the virus came, it infected the whole world in less than a month. Sixteen year old Hazel Williams, and her dog, Azrael, a Siberian Husky, lived two years in the apocalypse and still counting. They endured canned goods and slept in abandoned houses.

Living this way for two years, Hazel thought they were the only non-zombie left on earth. She was about to be proved wrong. Could Hazel survive through annoying jerks, airhead cheerleaders, and super yucky zombies? And could there really be a cure for the pandemic? Well, she's about to find out. And its not going to be pretty. [There is another story included inside BSTZ, and that's OZTS, or Once Zombie Twice Shy. Its more darker and gory than BSTZ.] #SHTF All Rights Reserved. ©TWDposter

I glared up at him my eyes narrowed, "Excuse me?" I was beyond livid by the words that just came out of his mouth. My glare didn't falter when Parker towered over me, clenching his jaw while trapping me against his desk. "You heard me." Parker's voice was low and intimidating that it made me feel so small. But I wasn't going to let him get to me. Standing up taller, I snapped, "I will not be your personal toy, available for you to do just as you please! I do not want to be held captive against my will, and not even have a say in anything. To be honest, I don't even want a mate." "You will do everything and anything I say, do you hear me?"
