"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 Motto

I am dying. I know this because i can feel all my senses leaving me. I can see flashes, recollections, of my past. They preen at me through my lashes. But I am calm. There is a feeling of delirium thumping in my heart, spreading through my body. With the little strength that I can muster, I reach out to take hold of the nearest objects to me. It ties me to the earth, but when my eyes no longer see light, the bond that keeps me on this world will be severed, and no longer shall i be alive. What if you and a four other people where the only ones alive on earth? After the Apocalypse, everyone died. Except for five of us. My name is Thalia, when I was thirteen years old, the earth was broken by deadly storms, methane, tsunamis, earthquakes. I survived. For years I wandered the earth, raiding abandoned shops for food, seeking shelter. Now I am fifteen, I feel like I have found a home. I have found a band of survivors like me. These people survived the Apocalypse, and now, we want answers .Complete

Fallout: Barren Wastelands
⚠️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 :)Complete

I. Better Stay Alive. Civilization Ends
''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 - FRIGHTComplete

Starvengers
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.
