"We were for sure lucky that this was considered a neighborhood for the elderly. About a year ago, the news reported that scientists predicted a deadly flare that the sun was going to expel. Although it couldn't reach the earth, the effects would cause a bacteria that was considered dormant without extreme heat, to release a gaseous poison that would kill anyone who wasn't immune. Scientists had enough time to create a vaccine, but the world's government released a statement for children to receive the vaccination first. Brooke was only two months old at the time, Olive had just turned seven, Ace was turning 17. I am 18 now, but when the vaccine was released I was still a minor, so I just barely was able to get it.
However, the scientists predicted date was incorrect, and the adults didn't get the injection in time. Almost all of the adult population has been wiped out. There are still a few adults left, like those who were naturally immune, or those who were rich enough to get around the age restriction. But the world is mostly millennials now. This means that there aren't people to run stores, or even grow crop unless their kids were taught to do it. However, if a child was passed on such skills, they did it for the sake of their own lives. It's every man for them self now, and unless you're in a gang, you don't share your ability or your stash."
After the start of the apocalypse, only the young were able to survive. But with Sage's large family and a shrinking stash, they may not be able to keep surviving on their own.

Above
They live beneath their so-called enemy, in what they call The Below. Most of them have not seen what is Above, and those that have are forced to forget. Once a year, someone is chosen to go Above, live there for six months, with almost no knowledge of the Outside. They are sent to the unknown, up to the enemy's world, and go undercover, gather as much information about their "enemy" before the time is up. What seems easy for us is very difficult for them, they are smart, but not when it comes to life. Most live, but some die in foolish ways. When Brooke is the youngest ever to be chosen to go Above, everything starts to change and she begins to wonder, why are they doing this? What is the point? And most of all: Who is the real enemy? ** I apologize for any grammar/format errors. I have not yet gone back to previous chapters and edited them. More recent chapters will be better :)Complete

shifting worlds 1: project eclipse
Project: eclipse Six years after the fall, there's nothing left but whispers of a forgotten world. A world where humanity tried to cheat death, and in doing so, sealed its fate. The government's desperation led them to create a vaccine for a deadly disease. But in their arrogance,they didn't foresee the true consequence: the birth of a much worse plague. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year 2031. The sky dull shade of grey, the sun blocked out by the perpetual ash that rains down from fires that had long since stopped burning. The earth, scarred from endless devastation, feels lifeless. Once-thriving cities are now just graveyards for the human race, each building a tombstone, each street a silent witness to the deaths of billions. The virus, once a failed vaccine, now turned every victim into something strange: people with animal ears, tails, sometimes even paws or claws. Those who survived, who made it through the sickness, had their bodies changed. Their DNA adapted, and they became mutants-some fox ears, others with eagle wings, or wolf tails. The line between human and animal had blurred, and the world they knew was no longer recognizable. But humanity was still present in their eyes-the survivors of the mutations-they weren't monsters. They were just different.Complete![18TH STAR CONSTELLATION: [S]IGMA 200 +OCTANTIS+ ∑ σ [TWO]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/238724007-256-k400567.jpg)

The Apocalypse
The ice deep in the north has melted to reveal a new world hidden under the ice. It holds vegetation and animals that seem unworldly when compared to ours, but hidden in the deepest part of this world is another cave with the oldest surviving strains of an ancient bacteria capable of taking host of dead creatures and reanimating them into beasts worse than before. This strain had grown weak over the ages and was nearly extinct, but the human immune system, never being exposed to this, caused the strain to thrive inside its new unexpecting host and spreads out to the world. It starts small, just a speck on the hands of a few people, but soon, it spreads to door handles, pens, books, chairs, things like that. It continues spreading and now has infected its first corpse, the remains of an ant. This new creature comes and spreads to that ant's nest and then to the animals that eat them. Before less than a month passed, the virus had spread to a graveyard in the hidden grottos of the Yukon. This virus, now able to think from the new minds of fresh bodies, can strategize. In only another week, the epidemic had spread to the northern edge of the United States. Spreading further and further in, people began to notice this strange happening. From people disappearing to entire towns popping out of existence, the bacteria continued to spread. To keep order, the governments had those who disappeared erased from existence, but it wasn't enough. The takeover of those long gone happened in less than three weeks and society collapsed. Spreading overseas, it began its removal of life in Europe, but that's a story for another day. We now come to those few remaining settlements in the collapsed U.S, now called The Crumbled Land. What does this new land hold hidden deep in the remnants of its former glory?Complete
The Sisterdale Six: A Bag Men Story
40 years ago, the world as we know it was destroyed by hordes of the undead. But the threat isn't gone. It has evolved. In the year 2027, the American Government buckled under the weight of millions of undead, whose inexorable push Westward drove away and killed every living thing until only nothingness was left. Many years later, most of the survivors (and their descendants) believe that the infected have been wiped off the face of the Earth. They are mistaken. What the scientists and researchers of the Republic of Sacramento eventually came to understand was that the virus had not been eradicated. Instead, it had changed, become something much worse. Its new form, the Vox Humana Virus, is so called because of its distinct evolutionary advantages over its predecessor: rather than kill the host, VHV in a sense disables the host-body's linkup with the brain, rendering it a puppet in service to the parasite. Because these new "Sleepers" do not shamble or groan or bear any characteristics that would easily distinguish them from a normal human being, they can now infect entire populations before anyone even knows they have arrived. Sacramento's response to this new threat was the institution of the Bureau of Public Health, an innocuously named super-agency whose staff are granted authority above and beyond any other citizen. The Agents, colloquially known as "Bag Men," are the gatekeepers, it is they who identify and exterminate Sleepers. Into this mess Troy Myers will step, one day. However, in 2040, he finds himself in the badlands bordering the cities of the new Tri-Texan Confederacy, looking for something, maybe a place to call home. Maybe, inside all this death, there will be a chance for peace. In the meantime, the kill count racks up and up. If Troy wants to live, he'll have to pay for his time with bullets. The Bag Men series is written by Silas Jackson and J.R. Traas. Find us: https://www.facebook.com/SACBPH https://twitter.com/wordofmypeopleComplete
Project: Solanum
History called it the Great Hysteria. The Solanum strain of SARS-CoV-2 didn't just sicken the world; it fractured its mind. While most suffered a severe respiratory illness, a small percentage were afflicted with a terrifying neurological degradation: violent aggression, followed by a vacant, catatonic state. Society's fear, once directed at a virus, was now aimed at the infected-the confused, the aggressive, the lost souls shambling through silent cities. We didn't collapse from the plague, but from the terror of each other. A millennium later, in 3035, the scars of that panic are etched into our DNA. But now, we have a key to undo it. Project: Solanum is not a mission of prevention, but of redemption. Our team will travel back to the pandemic's peak, armed with "Aetheris," a miraculous mRNA vaccine that can be delivered directly to the bloodstream. It doesn't just create immunity; it hunts the Solanum virus in the brain, reversing the neurological damage and pulling the infected back from the brink. Our mission is simple: cure the past to save the future. But how do you heal a world that has already learned to fear its own? The real virus we must fight may not be Solanum, but the primal panic it unleashed.
Chasing the Ember:Echoes of the Void
--- CHASING THE EMBER: ECHOES OF THE VOID In the end, it wasn't strength that saved them. It was the refusal to break. --- WORLDVIEW SUMMARY The Setting: A Dying Earth and the Last Ark Earth is uninhabitable. Scarred by war, disease, and climate collapse, the planet no longer supports life. The Emberwake Ark is humanity's final escape: a city-sized spacecraft holding 65,000 of Earth's last survivors, adrift in the void. No weapons. No military. Just thinkers, engineers, broken families, scavengers, and those who paid, tricked, or clawed their way aboard. Supplies are critically low. Food, oxygen, water, and mental stability are all degrading. No one's unscarred - some physically, others emotionally - except one man who's held together by a very thin, but unbroken, thread. --- The Universe: Cosmic Terror Meets Myth-Made-Flesh Space is not silent. It is alive with ancient, unknowable forces. Humanity begins to discover that myths weren't stories. They were warnings. Earth's ancient pantheons-Greek, Norse, Aztec, Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese-are distorted reflections of real cosmic beings. Entities that live between stars. These include: Jörmungandr - A space-leviathan that coils around dead stars. Apep's Spawn - Shadow-born creatures that eat dreams and time. Fenrir-class Entities - Beasts that hunt on instinct and collapse reality around them. Watchers - Beings that only observe. Their gaze erases people from memory and time. The Sun-Eater - An endless void that mimics stars and consumes anything seeking warmth. Quetzacryon - A radiant, godlike being that gives paradise... before incinerating all who submit to it. These aren't gods. They are forces. Intelligent, instinctive, and indifferent. Time loops, parallel realities, psychological traps, shifting laws of physics - the universe itself resists comprehension. ---Complete
