[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?

It was not noticed exactly when people began to fall victim to the broken life of routine and monotony but by the time humanity realized that witnessing strong emotion triggered violence in the infected, it was too late... In a world, where showing emotion is a dangerous weakness, love becomes the only beacon of hope. Evelyn Li is not a fan of risk. Confined to the safety of an underground bunker for the past two years, when Evie stumbles upon a radio broadcast hosted by a mysterious boy with a sharp tongue and an impressive record collection, she's inspired to embark on a mission fuelled by the belief that her family might still be out there (and definitely not because she's desperate to finally meet the boy whose voice has been her sole companion since the darkness descended). Jonathan Johnson is not an optimist and definitely not a romantic. He wasn't at all surprised when the world ended or even when the Soulless took over the streets. With the weight of rising tensions in the colonies, an absentee father, and heart-breaking tragedy resting on his shoulders, Jonathan would much rather escape into his record collection and secret radio broadcast than deal with the general bleakness of life in the apocalypse. As he is reluctantly roped into Evie's search for links to her past, Jonathan begins to wonder if he can ever truly escape his. Together, the unlikely pair must navigate the treacherous landscapes of both the unforgiving world around them and the complicated emotions within. Will their connection withstand the trials of a world consumed by darkness, or will it become just another casualty of the apocalypse? **Featured on Wattpad @ScienceFiction Ambassadors' Picks, July 2024; #4 Dystopian
