Extinction Stories

Set within the same universe as my Short Dino Horror Stories, this one tells about people coming face-to-face with prehistoric, megafauna beasts in the modern era... The same mammalian monsters that rose to dominance after the fall of the dinosaurs and filling the void they left behind... ❄️🐺🌨️

In the distant future after a nuclear war leaves the planet contaminated and sterile. The surviving humans create dystopian societies in each continent on the rare uncontaminated regions. Humans are soon facing their greatest threat of extinction when fertile women are becoming extremely rare and sterile. The heredity tyrannical government, the Tribune, captures these women as state property for human reproduction as well for themselves in order to secure their bloodlines and their children given for adoption to the plutocrats, the rich and powerful. Marvin is a government assassin code named T-23. He meets a beautiful and mysterious Shannon one night. What was supposed to be a no strings attached one night stand becomes complicated when she shows up at his door three months pregnant and on the run from the Tribune. Shannon is an exception as she is expecting triplets and no one has seen them in the last four hundred years. For now she and her unborn children are the most valuable assets and the Tribune and plutocrats worldwide will stop at nothing to get their hands on her. Marvin is her only hope for freedom. #1 extinction #15 tyrant

Antarctica was never meant to be understood. When a team of researchers arrives at a remote Antarctic outpost to investigate unusual melt patterns beneath the ice, they expect faulty instruments, unstable weather, and the familiar dangers of the most isolated place on Earth. What they find instead is something that should not exist-an unnatural fracture in the ice, warm to the touch, impossibly precise. And beneath it... a door. What lies beyond the ice is not ruin or emptiness, but evidence of deliberate design-ancient structures, preserved life, and a vast hidden world that challenges everything humanity believes about its own history. Creatures long thought extinct are not dead, only sleeping. Others were never known to science at all. And the ice that held them is beginning to fail. As the boundary between worlds weakens, the expedition is forced into an impossible alliance with a civilization that has lived in secrecy for millennia-guardians of a truth humanity was never meant to uncover. A truth hidden not out of malice, but restraint. Because the ice was not preserving the past. It was containing it. Where the Ice Breaks is a slow-burn science fiction thriller blending discovery, horror, and wonder-where survival depends not on conquest, but on understanding what should never have been found.

A science fiction short story collection. The stories revealed in this codex are not for the faint of heart and bring about a vision of humanity's wretched future. (Updates Every Sunday /// All art and illustrations belong to Black Sun Press.)

~ The Dreaming: Old Shalon's Story ~ It's the year 2067, and I am living in the shattered remains of Old Vancouver -- after the Cascadia quake, after WW3, after it all ended. I've been surviving all these years through the help of a young boy named Michael, a wildling, an orphan, one of the Forgotten. He's been with me since he was a little one, but now he's all grown up. This morning he told me he's going to leave Old Vancouver. He wants me to come with him... But that's ridiculous! How can I do that? I'm too old for those kinds of shenanigans.... ------ The Dreaming is a novel series spanning over 200 years and designed to be read in ANY order YOU choose. Start with any of these that interest you: - 2257: Imorah's Story --> Imorah has lived her entire life underground in The Shelter, with a religious cult called The Family. She's never seen the sky or breathed fresh air and The Family is the only thing she's ever known. One day Imorah's Grandmother disappears. They say it was a suicide, but Imorah knows better. The only clue Imorah has is the book that her Grandmother left behind -- a book that Imorah can't even read. - 2257: Liran's Story follows a young man who struggles to survive in the deserts of what is left of North America. One day he finds an old technological relic -- a robot head that still functions -- and Liran is thrust into a dangerous web of secrets and lies. - 2063: Old Shalon's Story --> this is Old Shalon's Story, please read story blurb above. COMING SOON. Starting sometime late in 2015, I will post the last installment of The Dreaming, where these five narratives will collide. Five lives bound together by an ancient book whose language has long died out, in a time and place where books are not only taboo, but could actually get you killed.

Content Notes: Political tension, mentions of past bio war/genocide, no explicit gore. Humans are Space Orcs / #HFY The Galactic Council is very proud of its records. Every Deathworld catalogued. Every extinct species archived. Every threat carefully walled off and forgotten. Humans of Earth? Level 13 Deathworld. Bio war casualties. Extinct. That's what the ledgers say... right up until a bored auditor follows a stray note about "human-factor" safety rails and pulls on a thread that unravels three centuries of lies. Earth is not a radioactive tomb. It's a thriving blue world with over ten billion humans, fourteen brutal colony worlds, and a hidden FTL civilisation that's been quietly integrating into galactic society for more than fifty years-under false names, fake species IDs, and corporate logos the Council now depends on. As the mask comes off in the Council chamber, ambassadors realise the "extinct" monsters from a Level 13 Hellworld are already running their freight routes, writing their medical standards, and saving their people from plagues and pirates. Now humanity wants recognition-as equals, not as a mistake to be erased again. The galaxy must decide: live with the Deathworlders already in their midst... or find out what happens when you try to exterminate a species that refuses to stay dead. And yes I admit it, I recycled names etc. from numerous other #HFY & #HaSO stories.

Against all odds, 16-year-old Aerie gets chosen to train as a soldier for the male-dominated Division tasked with the defense of Earth - at least what's left of it after climate change left the landscape scorched and its people broken. The initiation is grueling and the pressure is on when she learns that failure will result in death. To make matters worse, the majority of Aerie's competitors have little respect for her, set on the belief that most women don't survive the initiation, let alone pass it. But Aerie is determined to live, and her fellow competitor Rhys realizes that with extra training she has not only the potential to pass, but excel. The two team up based on the idea of strength in numbers - and maybe something more - but they soon realize that merely passing won't cut it. Their efforts are dwarfed by something far more sinister, a conspiracy that will affect not just themselves, but the lives of every person left on their godforsaken planet.

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." - Charles Darwin Amidst the nuclear war, popularly known as World War III, mankind had also been struck with a weaponized viral disease, decimating what's left of the human population. With his memory lost under the perilous fallout, Gabriel was saved by two other survivors. And together, they strived in a modified nuclear shelter away from the heavily infested cities. They thought they were living a safe and well-sustained life. Until one day, they found out the most shocking discovery, the truth that pushed Gabriel in a heart-stopping journey of his life. He would travel hundreds of miles of the post-apocalyptic world lurking with unknown dangers, including the hordes of infected and bandits alike. He would then come across other survivors, struggling to preserve their lives and ideals. However, as pieces of his memory came rolling back, conflicts of priorities defied even the most basic rules of their survival. Will Gabriel, and the people he have come to cherish, outlive the apocalypse? Or will they perish, and go through... extinction?

In the quiet village of Draphang, life moves at its own slow, peaceful pace. Suya, an energetic schoolgirl, spends her days running through familiar streets, laughing with friends, and finding comfort in the warmth of home. But on one fateful evening, the skies darken too soon, the winds shift with an unnatural force, and an eerie stillness creeps through the valley. A warning from a senior student. A desperate call from her father. A monstrous roar echoing through the silence. Something is coming. Something ancient. Something beyond human comprehension. And when it arrives, the fate of the world will be at stake. Because some legends are not just stories. Some awaken. And some... are destined to rise.
