death desert life sciencefiction survival

A short story of hardships following a great war that changed the world as we know it. The main character, a young, spirited individual, embarks on a journey in search of answers. Facing the elements of the post-war desert, hope runs almost as scarce as the resources... And the humans.

 All they know is, survival will not be easy.

Dust by angrychinchillanoise

All the earth is torn asunder. There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come. Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that. Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Bound By Survival by guess_who01117

The world is no longer hers. After an apocalypse turned Earth into a living nightmare-where animals hunt for sport and plants consume the unsuspecting-Natalie has lost everything. Betrayed by those she trusted and left to die, survival is her only goal. Until an old man offers her a way out. A new world. A breeding program. A chance at safety. But safety comes at a price. Transported to an alien planet on the brink of extinction, Natalie is paired with a powerful warrior of a species that doesn't understand human customs-especially not when it comes to breeding. Their kind is rough, dominant, and built for survival, but her new mate is fascinated by her in ways neither of them expect. Yet trust doesn't come easy. Not when danger lurks beyond the walls of their new home, when rival males and jealous females threaten to tear them apart. And when the biggest threat of all-the truth behind the virus that wiped out their women-is still waiting to be uncovered. She was brought here to save a dying race. But will she survive long enough to do it?

The Undead Diaries by sweet_bitter_love

Survival. It means alot of things, and the meaning absolutely differs between alot of people. Whether your surviving a first date with someone who talks with their mouths full of food, surviving waking up early for school, surviving a hard break-up, surviving life in general but for these Seven people, surviving means actually staying alive, finding resources in the midst of all the chaos surrounding them. Trying so hard to contain what little humanity they still have in them. And two people try to survive the ups and downs they face when they fall in love with one another. The world as we know it, is gone; and no matter what age, their life starts now; their fight for survival, starts now. ¤ Rated-R: This story contains rough and/or persistent violence and suggestive material, hard language, strong horror, action and peril, strong crude sexual content, alcohol, tobacco, thematic elements, hard crude situations, emotional intensity, disturbing/startlng images, hard rude or unsophisticated behavior, and/or hard drug use. ©2013 All Rights Reserved.

The Day We Left Earth by MES12345

If we stayed there any longer, we would have died. Earth was no longer our home, but instead a barren waste land from which we had to escape. Its calm blue oceans were replaced by big empty pits, and the green grass which used to cover our planet has now died, leaving all ground we tread on brown. The sun was getting too close to earth. It was going to explode soon, meaning we would have to leave. Either that, or die on what we called home. Not everyone left, not everyone was saved, but most of us are here in our new home. It's a huge space station called 'Earth Resides'. All of us who made it here, though, refer to it as our last resort. My names Mia. I've been here nine years. And I know the truth. ------------ Project Constellations

Lost Horizon (Sample) by Voltino321

SAMPLE OF BOOK #1 OF THE LOST HORIZON SERIES Hundreds of years ago, the earth experienced a collapse. The surface of the once prosperous planet was reduced to nothing but a desert wasteland. Those few who'd survived the travesty were forced to live in domed cities. In one of these safe havens, Sanctuary as it was named, its people accepted the fact that human life no longer belonged on the Outside World. This simply became a law of reality. However, the entire society is shocked when a human boy is discovered on the other side of Sanctuary's walls. He was named Rex. Possessing no recollection of his past he decides to start life anew. But fragmented images in his mind call for him to leave once more. Rex, along with his adoptive brother, decides to join the Seeker Corps, a group dedicated to surveying the outside in hopes of finding humanity's next home. Survival is key to protecting those who he holds dear and discovering the truth of his mysterious origin. This is a tale of souls seeking to defy a seemingly already decided future. What will they uncover beyond the lost horizon?

We Were Stardust Once by rrrick_grimesss

They were born from the stars, but the world refuses to let them stay. It has been three years since the Genesis Flares, the solar phenomenon that gave birth to Astrans: beings with abilities beyond human comprehension. Some see them as miracles, others as abominations but to those in power, they are a threat that must be controlled, exploited, or eradicated. Fear spreads like wildfire, and war is inevitable. Among the displaced and the hunted, a survivor fights to carve out a future for her people, refusing to let them be erased from history. By her side stands the one who saved her, a sister in all but blood, a friend who has vowed to protect her, even if it means keeping dangerous secrets. As alliances fracture and loyalties are tested, they must navigate a world that has already decided what they are: enemies. In the heart of the conflict, two minds once dedicated to progress now wrestle with the weight of their own creations. One, a scientist bound by failing health, seeks to undo the greatest mistake of his life before time runs out. The other, an engineer thrust unwillingly into war, struggles between duty, regret, and the burden of being the only one left to fight. Lines blur between vengeance and justice, survival and sacrifice. The choices they make will determine not only the outcome of the war but the future of the Astrans themselves. Before the war, before the fear, they were all the same. They were all stardust once.
