action action-adventure adventure lordoftheflies survival

Inspired by the 2007 TV show "Kid Nation," and 1950's novel "Lord of the Flies," a group of 30 kids, aged between 11 and 17, wake up in an old desert town from the late 1800's. They are given a note that tells them they must survive on their own, and build a community; the more they develop a successful community, the more supplies are given to the group. They are without adult supervision, and no set rule system. Their hate lies within their own hands. Who will survive, and who will fall?

Co-writers include: Loose Elyse, and our personal friend, Haley. This story is as much theirs as it is mine, so make sure to enjoy!

The Winged by _Tiny_Stories_

Surviving can be difficult when you're only a few inches tall. Fanged beasts see you as their prey, every creature is bigger than you, and the world seems to work against small things.

Drawn by the beauty of the forest, humans of all kind invade the already dangerous home of the small Winged people. Fear of these monsters is shared throughout the tribes. One sacred piece of advice is known: avoid humans at all costs. They know only how to destroy and hurt. ___ Despite the protests of her close friend, Azure accepts a mission that takes her from the safety of her tribe. Things begin well despite her trepidation of the approaching summer months. That is, until she falls right into the hands of the very creatures she feared. ___ Completed! Beware of some crappy writing and stupid typos :0 Second part is on my account :) :)

Vitality [Teaser] by MaybeBizy

Trust is a word that can easily be broken through breath, but survival is a word that can only be broken by death. Nikolas Clover's goal was to keep his family safe as they joined the Advors, a group of humans against the Resinix alien race. However escaping from the Proditors, a group of humans who standby the Resinix, would be anything but easy. They lived in a small town in Colombia called Salento located North just off the edge of the Amazon Rainforest. The Advors remained hidden under the tall rainforest trees while the Resinix and Proditors ruled the rest of the Earth with an iron fist. The Clovers lived in hiding as they waited for their moment to leave the Proditor infested town. However, suspicion would soon arise. Escaping would feel like hell, but the thought of surviving would feel inconceivable. ~I've dedicated a song from YouTube that fits well with each chapter to enhance the reader experience if you choose to play it!

What Remains by idmcnally

LORD OF THE FLIES X THE 100 --- The rules of Ros' post-apocalyptic world are simple: survive and defend her people, a group of teenagers called The Remains. She was lucky to find the leader of the Remains, Jack, After It All Ended, and she will do anything to keep him and the other Remains safe. Even take on one of the most dangerous jobs in the Remains -- being a scout that spies on their enemies, the Pride. She is faster, better, stronger than anyone in the Pride, but that's not the problem. The problem is the Pride has all the guns. Which is why Ros comes up with a plan to take down the Pride. It's very dangerous and it's fairly stupid, mostly because it involves trusting a high-ranking member of the Pride. But just when it seems to be working, Jack threatens to ruin everything Ros has worked for. So Ros has to choose -- loyalty to her people, or what she knows to be right. After all, Ros wants more than survival. She wants to live. --- Trident Awards Round 3 Qualifier. JeDi Awards Honorable Mention.
