The forest held all of our secrets. If you listened closely, you could hear their faint murmurs on the breeze, the foliage down to the smallest critter could be heard whispering. You just had to listen hard enough. It was the summer before graduation, the final summer before our lives changes. That's what we had thought at least. But, disaster crept up from the darkness, never heading warning. We were naïve to the change on the horizon, unsuspecting of disaster lurking in the shadows of our forest... Waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Deep in the woods, Francesca and her two best friends spent their childhood hiding from the world in the safety of their hidden treehouse. It had always been the three of them, an inseparable force. But, when Nikolas is murdered her entire world is turned upside down. The treehouse isn't the same anymore, and she craves answers. Distraught by his death, Frankie goes after the person who killed him, desperate to find a shred of evidence to help bring justice to his death.

No one saw it coming. No one could have guessed that the vaccine that was supposed to save lives, would take them instead. Once the death toll started to climb, it took less than a day for the world to change forever. When Bri's roommate suddenly develops a taste for cannibalism, she finds herself trapped in her upstairs bathroom, unable to comprehend the horrors that she sees through the small window. That limited view of the outside world doesn't begin to show Bri just how much danger she's going to be in when she finally escapes her home. Running for her life, Bri won't be alone for long. With the help of a bat wielding stranger, she barely escapes the overrun city. Together, they just might survive long enough to find a safe haven. The zombie apocalypse is a strange time to be alive. The dead walk, and eat the living, but they're not the most dangerous thing this new world has to offer. There are other survivors out there. And not all of them can be trusted.

*please note this story does have some reader interaction* Highest Ranking #282 in horror!! "Allow me to explain how the game is played." said the executioner toward the group of people. "It is very simple, but unlike how you would normally play, for instance the deck of cards over here." the man pointed toward the little stand on which a deck of cards sat. "As well as for each letter inside of the word you get, we will bring out X amount of stairs, which for each wrong letter, you will walk up one stair, finally going toward death-consider your mistakes the same as digging your own grave." He hideously smiled toward them. They, the victims and the executioner, were inside some sort of gymnasium, however on the floor were polls in which many people were chained to- hands behind their back, unable to sit up, and dog collars along their necks. "What's the deck of cards for?" someone yelled out. "Those... are special event cards..." he left the crowd hanging, not removing the hidden fear in each of their hearts about what the deck of cards was, yet rather instilling a even worse sense of dread, as for when the first card is drawn....

"You know, I like to pretend like I'm in a cartoon." "A cartoon?" He looked back and forth between me and the road ahead as he continued. "Yeah, like I'm in one of those crazy violent video games, or a James Bond movie, or a crazy violent James Bond video game... Or, to categorize all of that... a cartoon." ***Now available for download in ebook format! https://ikarilynn.wordpress.com/karis-work/

Highest :#5 Since the very inception of this universe, we've been there. Always watching, following, observing. We've even lived in galaxies and planets yet to be discovered by humans. Seen things beyond your wildest imaginations. But we were foolish. Imprudent we were to have followed the humans. For they have now ruined us. We are subjugated to live in captivity just so that peace can be maintained on Earth. Is there a way out for us? To escape this torture and pain? Can we...break the law? Go against the council? To rebel against the very decree that governs us? The charter that dictates who we are and the legislation that we are all bound to since the very beginning of time? But how longer can one endure? Our freedom, honour, dignity, all ripped away. Gone. Forced apart from our loved ones, with no hopes of a reunion. Without even a chance to say goodbye. Are our lives going to be spent in servitude till our very last breath? Or can there be a change after 4.54 billion years? Dare I hope for a revolution? Or is it criminal to even have such thoughts? ******************************** 'No Lucia. I can not. I will not. I will not let you live your life pining after me in the hope that someday we will be together', I said with a heavy heart. I refused to bind my loved one to me. Our masters would eventually change and then we would be separated again. And I couldn't see my Lucia in such agony. 'Oh Cimme', Lucia replied cupping my jaw with her hand. 'I love you and I'll happily wait for aeons simply knowing that you do too'. 'I do. With all my heart, but, Love is a trap my dear Lucia. When it appears we see only its light, not its shadows'. I replied solemnly. Trying to knock some sense into her. 'Then my dear Cimme', Lucia began with a twinkle in her eye, 'I'm glad I fell into this trap. Only then would I have seen you.' **********************************
