Joelxoc Stories

After Salt Lake City, Joel Miller is back in Jackson physically, at least. Emotionally? That's a longer road. And for Dolly Hart, a sharp-tongued bar maid with ghosts of her own, the last thing she expected was for Joel to walk into her life like nothing had changed. But everything's changed. What begins with a shared night and unspoken pain spirals into something deeper, messy, complicated, impossible to name. As winter gives way to spring, Dolly is forced to reckon with her past, her grief, and the parts of her heart she thought had died with it. Joel, in turn, finds himself standing at a crossroads, keep running from everything he's done, or finally start showing up for someone. I wrote this as an alternate to the game two. The first part is very long, yes but it's worth it. Part two will be more game oriented and circle back to Joels consequences. Trigger warning there is mentions of suicide and stillbirth.

Infectious Disease Doctor Rachel King is working late in the lab one night in Austin Texas when the world goes to shit. That same night Rachel runs into Joel and Tommy Miller. And as they say the rest is history.

Raven Darkwood was calmly making her way back from a music festival, with no idea that in just a few minutes - by the will of some higher, or perhaps far darker, power - she'd find herself in a world nothing like the one she knew. A world far more dangerous. And in that world, the maniac with a shotgun chasing her through the empty, ruined streets might not even be the worst threat she'd face.
