When the monster is inside you, where do you run?

It's the end of civilisation - for Salt Spring Island, at least. Trapped on the island with former townsfolk turned killing machines, sixteen-year-old Nina Scott must band together with the uninfected if she's any hope of surviving. But trust is a flighty concept in a town gone mad, and as a hierarchy forms and morality loses its influence, Nina and her friends soon realise that the real war isn't with the monsters outside.

Worse still: the infected aren't the only ones who've changed. Survivors are adapting in the most frightening of ways, acquiring abilities that defy the human norm. And there's no telling whether they're stable.

*****THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING A MASSIVE REWRITE - FINAL WORK IS CURRENTLY BEING POSTED AS A NEW STORY ON MY PAGE - UPDATES SPORADIC ***** "You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

Tessa lives with her father and brother in a closed off, quiet neighborhood, consisting of thirty people. Their life is perfectly normal, at least inside the fence it is. Outside, a plague has struck the world, knocking out four out of the five people inhabiting the earth. But Tessa doesn't have to worry about death. She's safe inside of the walls. Until, she's not. A breakout of the virus begins inside of the walls, killing off most of Tessa's friends. As a group, the remaining ten leave their safe spot in the world, to try and find safety once again. But outside the walls... is truly something out of a nightmare. HIGHEST RANK: #344 in Science Fiction
