The sky didn't scream when it spat me out; it just went silent. Falling is easy. It's the abrupt transition from "soaring through the void" to "becoming a human lawn dart" that really ruins your afternoon. My parachute-a pathetic, tangled ghost of white silk-was the only thing that kept me from turning into a red smear on the surface of this godforsaken rock. I woke up at the bottom of a hole that smelled like wet copper and ancient dust. My pulse was a rhythmic thumping in my ears, annoying and persistent. I reached for my holster: empty. I checked my boot knife: gone. Just me, a few fresh bruises, and the crushing realization that I was unarmed in a place that clearly didn't have a welcome wagon. Then, the shadows at the edge of the pit shifted. It wasn't the wind. It was breathing. Wet, heavy, and rhythmic-perfectly in sync with my own heartbeat. I wasn't alone in the dark anymore, and something told me my new "guest" hadn't come here to help me climb out. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Single-chapter story. It will be short, fast, and reckless. A human woman crash-lands on an alien planet with a parachute. She wakes up completely unarmed in a pit... but soon finds herself with company. This story won't be for everyone. I'll try to make it a bit more intense, sharp-edged, truly short- and why not, fun too. I hope so. 😶‍🌫️...

After a mysterious illness rapidly spreads across the globe, it seems as if the end of humanity has finally arrived. However, two teens find themselves thrown together as unlikely survivors among the flesh-hungry sick, one with nothing left to lose and the other holding onto a fragile hope her mother is still alive halfway across the country.

Story is loosely inspired by the Forest of Hands and Teeth series by Carrie Ryan and the movie 28 Days Later :) ************************************************************* Content disclaimers: Sexual content TWs: violence, gore, suicidal ideation Wordcount ~130,000

It took barely over a month for the epidemic to spread across the globe. Contrary to belief, the world didn't end with a bang and neither did it go quietly. No. It ended one scream at a time. A little more than a year has passed since the outbreak swept over the planet and annihilated a good portion of the living. Perri was one of the lucky ones who managed to evacuate with the military escorted buses in those early days of the spread. But, that luck didn't last. After one too many tragedies, she had decided to finally leave the, so called, "safe zone". With her main objective being the search for her best friend, she finds more than she bargained for. Her blood is death. Her blood is virulent. Her blood is life. Salvation is hers to give.

The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness.

Colby's story from my original Monster collection, edited and revised to accommodate Wattpad's content guidelines.

Anna never thought she'd have a stepfather. She definitely never thought she'd walk in on him touching himself. Now she can't unsee it. And Steve can't pretend nothing happened. What follows is a dangerous pull neither of them meant to feel, a slow unraveling of boundaries inside a house that suddenly feels too small, too hot, and far too forbidden.

The end came quietly. Survival didn't. Seth walks alone now - through ruins and silence, through the bones of a world that forgot how to live. The dead outnumber the living, and the ones who've survived have learned to be colder than winter steel. But no matter how far he goes, memory follows. Of who he was, of everything he lost. Of the faces that haunt his sleep and the blood that never quite washed off. In a world that punishes kindness and buries the weak, Seth isn't searching for hope. He's just trying not to fall apart. But sometimes, the road doesn't care what you want. Sometimes, it gives you someone to protect - whether you're ready or not. Because even a broken man has one last fight left in him. ___ Note : All That Follows is a sequel to All That Remains. It carries echoes, secrets, and scars from what came before. While it can be read on its own, within these pages lie spoilers, fragments of a past some readers may wish to discover firsthand. Step forward as you will, but know the ghosts are watching.

In a world ravaged by the collapse of civilization, where the dead walk and the living fight for scraps, survival is more than instinct- it's the only thing that matters. Bella Grant, a 21-year-old engineering student, finds herself thrust into a chaotic new reality. When she's saved by Max, a stoic military captain with a dark past, the two must rely on each other to stay alive. But the infected are not the only danger. In this new world where trust is a fleeting memory, Max and Bella discover that the greatest threat to their survival may come from the living. Ruthless and desperate survivors are willing to do anything to claim what's left, testing their courage and their growing bond in ways that could break them. With enemies at every turn and their bond growing stronger, Bella and Max must face the question: will they make it through this brutal new reality, or will the dangers of survival tear them apart? Is there hope left, or is humanity truly lost? And most of all, can they find a way to keep what remains of their lives intact? ___ Note : This is the first book in a three-part series, but can be read as standalone. The story will continue in ALL THAT FOLLOWS, where the scars of survival run deep, and the world is far from done.
