Is one person's life of more value than the world?

Elizabeth Park is a college drop-out and conspiracy theorist who lost her scholarship, a valuable internship, and her direction in life when she blew the whistle on her unethical boss. Confident that her scientific career is over, Elizabeth looks for work elsewhere while trying to come up with enough evidence to support her actions against her former employer, lauded scientist Petra Compton. 

Until... she is approached by The Disease Institute, a government initiative founded to cure diseases before they turn into pandemics. Elizabeth is offered an internship that will bring back all her hopes in exchange for the months of research she spent on one topic: the possibility of a zombie apocalypse caused by medical experimentation.

 The institute hopes to use Elizabeth's research along with the confession of one man to cure the disease. That man is an enigma, someone they only refer to as Zero, for he seems to have no name. Through her work, Elizabeth spends time with Zero, and discovers him to be more than just the first victim of a horrifically violent disease. 

 As secrets unwind themselves and fear mounts, desperate choices are presented that could change Elizabeth forever... and save or destroy the world.

The Coffee Bean by Stracy2
25 parts Complete
Emmy Lorraine is living her life exactly the way she wants to - owning and running her quaint coffee shop, The Coffee Bean, and enjoying her solitary, peaceful adult life - no strings attached, and certainly no unwanted communication with her pushy, controlling parents. But a recent fling with a man she barely knows has left her in a predicament that she never could have predicted. Pregnant and single, Emmy has to face the biggest hurdle of her life, and when Ben McAllister suddenly comes back into the picture, she really doesn't know how to reconcile her fierce independent nature with her constant, inconvenient attraction to him. Add to the complicated mess the ghost that haunts her coffee shop, and Emmy's life really takes a turn for the confusing. The ghost seems to be trying to communicate with her, but at her failure to grasp its meaning, the haunting becomes more intense, forcing her to reconsider the future of The Coffee Bean - her livelihood. As her relationship with Ben progresses into something she'd never expected, Emmy fights her own natural instincts to back away, to get away from the confusion and chaos inside her heart. But as much as she'd like to think she can handle everything on her own, it's Ben's arms that she really wants to fall into at the end of each day. And as they begin to work together to solve The Coffee Bean's problems, to prepare for a child that neither of them expected to have, they find themselves pushed closer and closer together than either of them had imagined. With the unexpected arrival of Emmy's parents, whom she hasn't spoken to in nearly ten years, comes further complications - questions and anxieties that could break Emmy and Ben apart for good. But the ghost at The Coffee Bean isn't finished with them yet, and as they uncover the meaning of her haunting and communication, they learn more about their own relationship. Emmy might just realize that her heart really can open to Ben more than she'd ever wanted to believe.

Playlist for the Apocalypse by Lauryn_Low

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? - Wattpad @ScienceFiction "Ambassadors' Picks," July 2024 - Wattpad @ScienceFiction "18 SciFi Romance Stories We're Obsessed With," November 2024 - #4 Dystopian - #1 Cure

Strange events, impossible memories, and a deadly threat emerge, tearing apart the very fabric of their world. As society begins to unravel, a small group of survivors must band together to confront a terrifying new reality. The infection is spreading, but no one knows how or why. What they do know is that nothing will ever be the same again. In a race against time, they must uncover the truth before the world as they know it falls apart. But some questions might be better left unanswered...
