"Hope" has received recognition from Wattpad in being added to their reading list "Black and White" - The Art of Contrast!
My name is Jerry Brookes. 20 years ago is when it all started. For four years I survived in the world. I killed, scavenged and stole, all to survive. Then I came across a sanctuary called "The Village". I lived there for 16 years, watching over Ash, the girl I swore to protect after her father passed away. We had running water, food, drinks, a pool, a tennis court, a church... We had a community, a place without infection. We had a sanctuary that made us forget about the outside world. Had. We've been driving for about three hours now. The Village far behind us. The threat we thought was gone, is more powerful than before. Our fantasy is over, we are faced with the real world now... I just hope we can survive. An intense thriller set in a post-apocalyptic world, Hope follows the journey of a group of survivors on their quest to find a safe haven in a world run by infected creatures that feed on humans.

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.
