The year is 2117. The United States, up to this point, has been through three major World Wars. After World War III, the country didn't get much time to recuperate and reconstruct before a new foe surfaced and pushed all fifty states to their breaking point. Nine-foot tall Warriors known as the Jotunn Warriors were created, still a mystery to the remaining people of the United States--until now. 

States have been separated by color and traits and have their own strict rules for their inhabitants to follow and live by. Four out of fifty states remain, one of those being New York. Bay Zachary is an eighteen girl who lives in New York, a state now known as the Pure State. She has always felt out of place in her state and has a desire to venture past her state's borders. Bay gets a chance to escape the city with a Nebraskan rebel named Casper Bunk. Quickly, her self-desires to leave the deteriorating state turns into a mission to save her home state from the same fate of forty-five others. The Jotunn are eliminating states one-by-one, like dominoes toppling over.  They must make an effort, no matter how minuscule the odds are to save what little is left. 

One nation? Under God? Indivisible? Liberty and Justice? The United States, only, the states were united no more, and they hadn't been for quite some time.All Rights Reserved

The countdown is on. Word gets out to the Jotunn Warriors that Bay Zachary and Casper Bunk are headed back to New York-The Pure State-to begin the evacuation process. After four months of being away from home and with a supposed year before New York is slated to be destroyed, the nine-foot-tall Warriors up the ante, pushing the year date of demolition within the next month. It's a race against the clock to get back in enough time to evacuate as many civilians as they can. With inside help back at the Jotunn Headquarters in California, things have gone to chaos. Every Jotunn, including the Master Jotunn-Calyx-begins to refer to Bay as someone by the name of Bryony Hope. The only explanation given is that Bay isn't who she thinks she is. Bay's world begins to crumble around her when she reaches the Pure State. There, Bay will find the truth about who and what she is from someone she once considered family. Bryony Hope has awakened, and now the true downfall of New York begins.

Katelyn's Discovery by deetinygirl

The story takes place in the year 2115. Oil reserves nearly ran out in the year 2053, causing World War III, which was a devastating 5 year nuclear war, destroying much of the world we call home. Countries and cities like China and New York were blown clean off the map leaving radio active waste in its place. Governments were destroyed and humanity was left to build its self back up. Scientists have developed technology in which slower vehicles can be powered by plant waste. Solar, wind, and hydra technology has been further developed although nothing works the same. All of this is thanks to Mr. Derek Evan Halk who has studied many things. Specializing in Mechanics, technology and biology Derek had it all until he suddenly disappeared with his family. Savannah Halk and her family know something the world doesn't know. She carries the weight of her deceased father's legacy on her shoulders as she tries to keep her family out of harms way. With a brother missing his twin. Another brother struggling to comprehend his emotions. A mother clinging to death of her husband, and a sister who will never know her father. Katelyn comes from an abusive past. She never knew anyone besides her parents. She learned how to read from her parents although after one hundred years books are a rare oddity, so why would they care if she could read or not?

City Six by Seffhs

In the year 2052, a devastating virus, engineered by the Russian government as a bioweapon, escapes containment before its completion. Within a year, the world spirals into chaos. The virus not only turns its victims into the undead but also renders the very air toxic with the breath of the infected, forcing the remnants of humanity to rely on gas masks to survive. At the heart of this global catastrophe is City Six-a fortified, isolated city on the flat plains of an undisclosed location in Texas. It is said to be the last safe haven left on Earth. The story follows a survivor on a desperate journey to reach City Six, battling not just the relentless undead but also the perils of a collapsing world. But as the survivor draws closer to the fabled city in 2054, an even greater threat emerges. Something far more dangerous than the infected lurks in the shadows, and the question remains: is humanity ready to face what's coming?
