"Home, a place I needed to see with my own eyes because maybe then I would be reminded of why I wander."

A courier travels one final road home in a post-nuclear devastated America. 1500 words.

“It is our mission to traverse the perilous roads of the west if we are to revive the last hope humanity has left. We will construct a new civilization through the messages we deliver. The only way this will be possible is by walking the long 5 and all of the roads that lead to it. For people aren't always known by the words they speak or the deeds they do, sometimes it’s by the paths they walk.” – California Express MottoAll Rights Reserved

I. Better Stay Alive. Civilization Ends by _DulliN_

''We have experienced so much. We have lost so much. But we are alive. We are alive because we help each other. We don't have to like each other, many of us have had fights in the past, but that doesn't matter anymore. If we don't work together, we will die.'' An unknown virus has spread around the world at a rapid pace, causing the dead to come back to life as walking corpses. Scientists noticed the danger when it was too late, the world collapsed suddenly. The novel tells the story of the Kaczmarek family, who, losing their sense of security, abandon their morals and question their humanity many times in an effort to survive. 🥇 AMBYS 2024 WINNER - FRIGHT

Safe [Daryl Dixon X Reader] by deadseoulwriter

Hurt, pain, torture; that's all you've ever endured. Never, have you felt ecstasy or pride. A life with your parents made sure of that. Friends... aren't something you've decided to make a reality. They were a fantasy. A broken one at that. So, when the dead start walking you find yourself thinking, "Will you ever truly be alive again?" [COMPLETED]

Submerged by LiricaMalena

They say hope is the last thing to lose. If you lose hope, you lose everything. Anyone who loses their faith, their reason, also loses their soul. This is the story of how Nadine clung to her only hope: to find her family safe and sound. A strange anomaly of the human mind swept the world, and she was alone, with very few clues about the whereabouts of her family. She had to be brave and confront those who had already lost everything. What she didn't know was that chaos had already spread worldwide. Entire cities destroyed, families lost, and the faith of the few who still stood slowly fading away. Replaying the images of her loved ones over and over in her mind, she will have to face those who have lost their hopes, turning into violent beings with a thirst to destroy everything around them, including themselves.

Fallout: Barren Wastelands by Marshy064

⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ This book involves very heavy depictions of gore, violence, drug use, alcohol use, weapon use, fun, mental health topics, and heavy language. Happy reading :) This story is about a young adult named Casey Elger making his way through the unforgiving wasteland along with the Walking Plains Caravan Company, continuing an expedition from North Carolina to California. See how men change as they walk from a clean city into a living hellscape, walking through 5 different commonwealths and 8 US states. Inspired by the Happy Trails Caravan Company in Fallout New Vegas, and Fallout 1's California environment and horror. This is also partially inspired by Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, in my opinion the greatest novel of all time. DISCLAIMER: I do not own right to Fallout, that would be Bethesda Game Studios. I do in fact have rights to my own writing and characters. This is my first published writing piece so if you have any complaints as a professional writer please add feedback, I enjoy comments :)

The Last Colony by StoryTellerByFire

The outbreak at Pax was lethal. Within hours the entire western seaboard was overtaken. Within a week; the world. With no cure and no hope. All that there was left to do was simply survive. Then a small glimmer of hope inspires Mark and Sean. They overhear a frequency about a place where any remaining humans should go. Getting there is dangerous, but staying put is no longer an option. These zombies are too smart and too aggressive. They have no choice. They must find 'The Last Colony'. Cover Art by: 'HiImSoul'

I have no need to communicate with others. Especially when everyone is pretty much already dead. I haven't spoken a word in almost two years. There's no need for conversation when the words that are spoken constantly go unheard. [COMPLETED] #1 in darylxreader (10/24/19) #1 in daryldixonxreader (11/17/19)

in about two weeks. by anonreader05

After a highly contagious disease caused the downfall of mankind as they know it, married couple Sophia and Tom were forced to leave their home and seek a way to survive in more than ever unforgiving conditions, scavenging for food, collecting rainwater, migrating to the south for the winter, and fending off both hostile survivors and dangerously aggressive Infected. Being nomads made for rather unpleasant interactions with settled communities and pushed them into complete isolation. Their relationship grew each day more bitter, binding them only through the sheer inability to let go of life, no matter how brutal or dreadful it got. Unexpected sudden encounters will make them question their past, feelings, and motivations, as they navigate the ruins of their sense of self and of their close-to-failing marriage. "[...] in any case, destiny, or whatever higher power acting upon them, had a splendid way of forcing self and mutual reflection for the umpteenth time in about two weeks."

Starvengers by JSRiverfield992

Death and decay have rusted away at a world once prosperous; and now only the scattershot remnants of civilization speckle the tortured land, striving to maintain their own tortured existence-helpless. Hapless. Hopeless. As a whole planet-indeed, whole star systems-silently ready themselves for the ultimate plunge into the midnight gulfs that once propped them against the cosmic background, a tiny undercurrent threatened to upheave the prophetic vision that is entropy-slipping past those immutable laws that keep those sidereal streams in them heavens a-flowing. An insignificant spark of life, unassuming, forsaken amid the refuse of mankind-destined to change all of their destinies. This is its ballad.

Scavengers {#Wattys2016} by Double001

The New World Order....The Pure Ones they called themselves. They took everything from us...from me. It's all about survival. Survival of the fittest.... I have the education of a tenth grader.... I dreamed of being a doctor.... We once had a home. A place to call our own. Yet that was taken from us... Now all we are just doing is trying to survive. Because that's the best thing to do.... To live on. One day though...one day....I'll take it all back.
