It was the year 3021, it had finally ended. Earth had been torn apart by wars between countries fighting for control of its rapidly diminishing resources. These wars had been occurring on and off since the late 22nd century. Humanity was a dying species by this point, with less than 200 million people left on earth, and most of which were becoming mutated and deformed due to the radiation of the countless nuclear weapons used throughout the wars. We were reduced to a majorly primitive group, there were few cities left that were inhabitable, in these cities were what was left of us. Things that would once have been considered a crime worthy of severe punishment was pretty much acceptable now. Cannibals, rapists, thieves, anything you could think of was most likely happening somewhere in the city at that time. (EDIT: this synopsis isn't entirely accurate as I wrote it before I started the story, and I just haven't gotten to rewriting it yet, but it's a general idea of what it is.)

[TV SCRIPT] After years of humanity eating away at it's own resources the United Nations collapsed throwing our world into turmoil, Famine and thirst ravaged forcing mankind into a new era of greed and virtue, Now bolstering up was a new beginning for us to face, No longer were we firmly placed at the top of the food chain we found ourselves the ones being hunted, Due to radical science and research across the globe, Viruses continued to uncontrollably spread mutating everything they came in contact with, Three of these viruses stood toppling the rest which would come to be known as The Rot, The Altered, and The Plagued, Survival and ignorance led us down a path of isolation only growing to further one's individual standpoint, We left control of our world to governments who turned their backs furthering personal ambition, Not preventing for what would happen to the masses in a calamity, As a result the Cataclysm hit changing our world forever, An anomaly between untested atomic experiments interfused with particle matter and energy caused a gaslight explosion simultaneously struck across the world, Mutating any living creature outside during this event, Drastically changing in ways unexplainable until witnessed in the flesh, As a result humanity was withered down to only twenty percent of its once dominant population, Strung out and cornered into colonisations after years of rebuilding we attempt to adapt rather then conquer, Surviving in this new reality we've been tested to outlast, Spread across the world which was we remain thinly divided, All which was known has now become scarce or deemed extinct, Humans now find themselves on the edge of a losing battle further suffering in this dark abyss we're forced to walk through, Adapting is key to thriving in this new cutthroat environment which we have been tasked to live

**The year is 2036.** After a bioengineered parasitic fungus - *Cordy-13* - mutated and spread beyond control, the United States collapsed. Within three months, 80% of the population was dead or "reanimated." Power grids fell, cities emptied, and survivors now live in scattered settlements or wander the ruins. **Evelyn "Eve" Carter (29)** Former EMT from Denver, 5'7", athletic, green-eyed, scar on her left cheek. Compassionate but hardened, Eve carries deep survivor's guilt. When the outbreak hit Denver General, she fought to save patients until the hospital fell. Her younger brother, Miles (16), vanished that night. Haunted yet driven, Eve searches the Midwest believing he's still alive - a mission that keeps her from collapsing under the weight of her past. **Logan Brooks (35)** Ex-Army Staff Sergeant, 75th Ranger Regiment. 6'1", broad-shouldered, dark hair, beard, and old military tattoos. Stoic and tactical, Logan hides a broken heart - his daughter, Abigail (9), was lost when Atlanta burned. After refusing to follow orders to bomb infected zones, he deserted, vowing never to serve blind authority again. Now, he fights to protect those beside him, seeking redemption one battle at a time. **Marcus "Red" Hensley (23)** A wiry mechanic and survivalist from Tulsa with messy red hair, freckles, and a worn leather jacket. Before the fall, he ran a YouTube channel on survival hacks; after the collapse, he scavenged junkyards and lived off the land. Beneath his cocky humor lies loneliness and fear. When he met Eve in a crumbling Kansas City safe zone, they formed an uneasy alliance. Red wants to prove he's more than lucky - that he can make a difference in a dying world. Together, Eve, Logan, and Red navigate the ruins of a fallen America - bound by loss, survival, and the fragile hope that something human still endures. This is my first time ever writing anything so sorry if the ending is lacklusture :(

Completed! #1 in government conspiracy as of 10/19/18 #6 in outbreak as of 10/10/18 #7 in corruption as of 8/12/18 #62 in apocalypse as of 8/7/18 #11 in government as of 8/9/18 The year is 2213. Everyone was evacuated from the home planet over 150 years ago. Our planet was dying, it was only a matter of time before our race was wiped out. We now live on a synthetic planet designed and built by our ancestors who came together from all parts of the globe to devise a plan to save us. We have lived peacefully for over a century.. Until now. Our lives were threatened when a mysterious and deadly virus broke out, killing entire communities at a time. The council says that they have a plan; they said that in order to prevent the death of more innocent people they will test every man, woman, and child for signs of the virus. Any person found to have been infected will be quarantined, the ones who die will be given a proper burial while the ones who survive are deemed carriers and are to be sent to the home planet to prevent further outbreak. I was prepared for the people I know and some I love being taken away for the greater good, but I never would have expected that among the list of people being taken from my community, that I would be one of them.. I survived the quarantine. Now for the survival of my planet I, and the other Carriers must be sent to the home planet. I'm going back to Earth. (This is not based on The 100 but there are similarities.) (Some violent themes, but other than that is entirely clean.) Please comment if you have any questions or concerns. This is a first draft so it is definitely not perfect yet.. Thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where'd you learn to do that?" I asked about the intricate knots that he had tied so swiftly. He paused. "Jail." I glared at him in shock at what had just come out of his mouth. "Seriously?" His straight face broke into a grin. "No. Boy Scouts."

But then one of them disappears, and the other moves on. But she doesn't. She's beaten, and her child is ripped from her own fingers. Five reappears after nearly 17 years, his charming personality gone, and he demands that the family helps him with his little apocalypse problem. And they ultimately fail. You know how the story goes. They end up in 1963, scattered across Dallas, and bring the apocalypse with them. Five and Y/N start getting comfortable. By the time they're back in 2019, they're fucked up, and craving nothing but peace. The apocalypse says no. But something's different this time. Something is whispering horrors into "Little Number Eight's" dreams. Whatever you do, don't save the world. ||| "𝘿𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪? 17 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣, 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨. 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪!

Everything started in 2036. The pollution was so bad that the end of the world was predicted to be right around the corner. As complete panic set in around the world, the rich and important people were all gathered and placed on giant spaceships with enough resources and room to house generations of human beings. Before they left though, the government leaders fired As a result, most of the human population died off and earth was a complete wasteland. The little that survived started building local communities and trying to survive in the destroyed excuse of a planet. On the disaster of a planet, creatures mutated and were born out of the nuclear chemicals; creating new species and monsters that hunted humans. While hundreds and hundreds of years passed, the monsters kept evolving and the people kept adapting while still trying to keep a sort of community. They didn't want to lose all of their humanity and become nothing more than animals that hunted the monsters: then they would truly be no better than the monsters themselves. So they stayed civil while still doing what it took to survive.
