After the Sky Fell by YourFavTimewaster

It's finally over, the apocalypse. This isn't some nightmare, at least not one you can wake from. But this wasn't at all what we'd expected, humanity is being slowly torn apart by the very thing we feared in youth. Shadows. Living shadows walk the earth, stealing humans and tearing families apart, one of those families being Dawn's. It's now up to her to protect her baby brother Thomas, and maybe even save her family.

The Refugees by MMWolfe

Sean Wesley and his family struggle to survive after a trash-pocalypse hits the world and scary things start lurking the trash... (This story was written by me and my best friend Evy a few years ago as a high school English project. We had so much fun while writing it and decided to share it with the world. Enjoy!)

Dark Sky by ShaneAbbott

The blinding flash came first, so intense that it blinded even through closed eyes. The deafening thunder followed very shortly after, as the burning light began to subside. The cloud appeared as a silhouette at first against the whiteout, but as the sky returned to normal colour the iconic mushroom could be seen rising into the sky. The heat wave was the first to unleash its deadly power, burning hotter than the sun everything in its path incinerated instantly. Everything from stone to the air itself vaporised in an instant for miles around the blast. Then came the shock wave to finish where the heat wave left off, levelling everything in its path. Everything above ground level ripped from it place and blown to pieces as if it was nothing more than paper. All life for miles around the cloud simply erased from existence, as if it was never there at all. Gone. Gone in only few minutes.

The world did in fact not end with a bang, but a whisper. Nothing was left but a suffocating stillness. The air was thick with ash, the remnants of humanity left to crawl through a poisoned wasteland. The whispers of those we had lost haunted us. The line between predator and prey had began to blur. The dead did not rest but it was the survivors that plunged the earth into darkness. I had grew to watch the accustomed look of desperation between my group. Haunted by my past I became a distant memory to those I once looked to for hope. They just didn't understand that biding time wasn't a blessing, it was a curse. And I realised, as the sky grew white-the end was never the worst part; it was what came after. ---------- Book series: Book 1- In the Afterlife Book 2- Ashes of tomorrow

Eternal Metamorphosis by BurbanoR

Earth has been transformed into an unpredictable nightmare by an alien force, its landscapes constantly shifting in time. Forests become oceans, mountains dissolve into endless plains, and creatures born of chaos emerge in every corner of this broken world. But the greatest threat comes at night. Shadowy predators that hunt in the darkness, vanishing only when struck by light. In the midst of this chaos, a 20 year old woman struggles to protect the only family she has left: her 10 year old brother. Together, they navigate a world that reshapes itself without warning, battling both the horrors around them and the haunting question of what caused this catastrophe. Driven by love and relentless determination, she fights to keep him safe. Even as the darkness closes in. Elyra "This world tears everything apart. The skies, the earth, the things we love, everything is devoured by this merciless transformation. Forests turn into oceans, deserts into dense jungles, and what was once home yesterday is nothing but a shadow today. In this world, constantly dragging us into the abyss, I have only one purpose: to protect my little brother. He can't see how often I cry at night, how often the fear eats away at me. The shadows are the worst. They come from the darkness, they hunt, they consume. I've seen things I'll never be able to forget. But as long as I'm breathing, I'll keep fighting. For him. For us. This world wants to tear us apart, but it will never succeed. Not as long as I'm here."

Alone in the Ashes- Book 1 of Surviving the Apocalyspe Series by Kasondra192

Alone in the Ashes Book 1 of the Surviving the Apocalypse Series The world as we knew it burned away, leaving only ashes behind. Fifteen-year-old Harper Quinn didn't ask to become a survivor. The storms came first, swallowing cities in a cascade of destruction. Then the earthquakes shattered the land, and the Collapse swept away everything else-governments, technology, and hope. Alone in a lawless wasteland, Harper learned the hard way that survival demands sacrifice, trust is a deadly gamble, and mercy is a weakness she can't afford. Two years later, Harper roams a landscape of desolation, scavenging the ruins of a shattered world. She has no destination, no allies, and no time for sentimentality. The only thing keeping her alive is her unyielding determination to keep moving-fueled by a past she can't escape and the ghosts of the family she lost. But the world has a way of testing even the toughest survivors. As Harper navigates a labyrinth of desperate gangs, ruthless scavengers, and the silent shadows of an unforgiving land, she begins to realize that staying alive isn't the same as living. In a world where every decision is a life-or-death gamble, how far will Harper go to ensure she doesn't become one of the countless forgotten names lost in the ashes? Alone in the Ashes is a gripping post-apocalyptic survival story that blends heart-pounding action with raw, emotional depth. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and The Road, this first installment of the Surviving the Apocalypse series will keep you turning pages long into the night. The fight to survive begins now.
