March 23, 2017, a tragedy occurs. The world decides to give in to its own pity, and fall.

Martin Riley, a sixteen-year-old boy, wakes up to a day seemingly normal, only to later find out that that's not true. As he and his closest friends enjoy each other's company, C.R.I.C.K. Labs misinterprets the abilities their recent studies have obtained.

Rotts, combative figures whom once breathed the same air as any person, now walk a life in purpose to destroy. By bite or by scratch, they may birth their own destructive desires into someone else, quickly multiplying their beings.

All Martin and his friends must do is survive. But, the harder they try, the more likely they are to die; however, the less they try, the more death becomes apparent.

Thankfully, there's something to help them. After visiting the labs, Martin gains the ability to see moments in the future before they happen. When someone his heart has truly connected with dies, he is rewarded the chance to change those events. But every second chance has a rebounded consequence...

Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.

Just when she thinks things couldn't get any more complicated, Ever meets a good-looking stranger who gets under her skin, and while he drives her crazy, he might be the key to unlocking her past and understanding how to save the future. Perhaps he's not a stranger after all. Perhaps he's keeping a secret, not only about their connection, but about the truth behind the strange apocalyptic events that are threatening the end of all mankind.

After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's Shortlisted

Don't Talk To Anyone | BOOK 2 by honeywriitings
52 parts Complete
(Sequel to Don't Talk To Strangers) It's been a couple months since the zombies had vanished. No more zombies. No more killings. And no more bad people. So they thought... Life is good, until something seems- out of place. Maybe it's a change in the weather or thickness of the air. Or it could be the electronic buzzing noise keeping them awake at night. The gang is suspicious, but nothing peaks their interests until one of them comes home infected. It's only a matter of time until the infection spreads around the rest of their body. It's a race against the clock to help them survive. Because the friends can't part with their own. They're family. And losing another person amongst the world is too much to handle. But if adding in revengeful ex-friends, hot summers, babies AND more zombies to the mix is what it takes to finally make these kids give up, congratulations. You got your wish. Not everyone is as strong as they want to be. Will they make it or break it?

Luca is saved from execution by Freaks who bring him to safety, and there he finds not only food and shelter, but more like him surviving, when he thought they had all died. He's immediately given a task by the mysterious leader of the Freaks, and he's faced with two options: should he sit back and watch as his own are captured and killed by the enemy he's dealt with before, or should he risk everything - even his own life - to save them all?
