[On hiatus.] What would you do if the apocalypse started right now, forcing your entire town to its knees within twenty minutes (1,200,000 milliseconds)? 

It was a generic summer day when Ben and Nate Healy's parents accidentally caused an apocalyptic viral outbreak, leaving the two teens to fend for themselves in the disease-ridden state of Florida. They're left with nothing but a series of videos and an entryway to a mysterious set of underground tunnels to find their way to the safe haven their parents have locked themselves in. However, after realizing the first video was broadcast to the public, they discover they're not the only ones looking to stay healthy.
  
Max and Margot Iyengar will do anything to get into that haven. After losing a friend to the virus, they make a pact to stay together and keep each other out of harm's way. But Max starts to see a different side of Margot-- the side willing to sacrifice anything to find a cure for the virus and save her girlfriend from the label of "Infected." Including Max and anyone else who comes across her path.
  
Fighting for their lives and a spot in the Haven, these four angsty teens team up to take on the other teenage gangs and the conscious diseased that roam the chaotic subworld of the tunnels. But can they survive the Epidemic without becoming Infected? Or will the hazardous disease of insanity get to them first?

What would you do if one second you were struggling to survive with your friends and mother in tow, and then you wake up to find yourself with a group of strangers the next - all during the country's takeover of blood-thirsty zeds? Megan couldn't believe her eyes. Her brain was muddled with confusion she couldn't get rid of, no matter how many times those strangers reassured her and explained what happened. But she had to accept it, even though it didn't make any sense to her. Megan had been with her mother every step of the way since everything turned to chaos, beginning just a year before, and now she was nowhere to be seen. And on top of that, she had the zeds to deal with. Ghastly creatures that used to be human, carrying a virus that's spread through a constant hunger for flesh from the host, spreading through bites and scratches. It didn't exactly make it easy to prevent getting infected. Things could have been worse, though, Megan thought. She could've been left all alone to ponder over her thoughts and fear over the future. It'll only be within the time spent with the new group will she find out that everything's not as happy and welcoming as it had seemed. These people had a few secrets of their own, including the real reason they took Megan in. She would soon find out just how far people would go to ensure their own survival. -------------- Please check out my first finished novel.

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.

*All characters are made by me. This is a copyrighted work!* *Currently editing* Nathan Hart is the last person left alive in a charred, dystopian Los Angeles. Alone, he manages to survive for four years in a land of animated death. Most of the world's population has been decimated by a brain eating virus, mutated from COVID 19. It causes its victims to attack and cannibalize other humans, and it keeps them moving even after their heart has stopped beating. While looting a store one day, Nathan stumbles across Nigel, a tourist from Texas who's been hiding from the virus for four years in a Long Beach hotel. Unfamiliar with the city of angels, he petitions Nathan for help. An unlikely friendship begins to blossom between the two males as they make their way across the city in search of a map that will guide Nigel home. Will the pair succumb to the hungry monsters that now control the planet? Or will they be steamrolled by something far more dangerous; love? Trigger warning ⚠️ This is a queer love story between two men. This story contains drug us, gore, foul language, talks and references of homophobia, dismemberment, death, and sexual activity.
