When Ava, a young girl from the smallest of the survivor towns feels claustrophobic and escapes Smalltown to find Nathan, another runaway from the city near by, she'll have to face horrifying truths and torment.

The Immunity by thelonelywriter9

The world in 2102 is basically chaos, most continents have been obliterated - the upper half of North America, all of Asia, Europe, Australia, South America, and Africa. The United States and Mexico remain untouched, but the threat is closing in on them. The threat is RD15, a disease that starts on your insides and rots your body till you die. It was mutated by rats, taken by mosquitos, who then gave it to humans, who started giving it to each other. Not one person has ever survived the disease - well as far as records go. Phoebe Johnson lives in Northern New Hampshire, dangerously close to Canada where the disease is closing in on the United States. The people around her are frightened, knowing they are all going to die once RD15 reaches the U.S. Except, as always, the United States of America decides to take matters into their own hands and leaves Phoebe in even greater peril than before.
Out Here, We Survive by EchoesInTheMargins

Dr. Evelyn Harding never believed in miracles-just science and the hard truth that life is cruel. After years of surviving her powerful husband's abuse, she takes her daughter, Maddie, and disappears into the dense wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, praying the isolation will keep them safe. But just as she begins to hope for a new beginning, the world burns. Without warning, deadly machines fall from the sky, ruthless and unstoppable, slaughtering humanity without mercy. Civilization crumbles overnight. And Evelyn, a woman who spent her life saving others, is suddenly powerless to protect the one person who matters most. Then she meets Alex. Ex-military, fiercely capable, Alex is the kind of protector Evelyn never thought she'd need-but exactly the kind she can't afford to lose. Alongside Alex's family, they flee to a remote island, a desperate gamble for safety in a world that has none left. As danger closes in from every direction, Evelyn and Alex find themselves fighting side by side, relying on each other in ways neither expected. But survival isn't just about staying alive-it's about finding something worth living for. And out here, in the wilderness and the wreckage, love might be the last thing left standing.

A Country Life by tristam_james
22 parts Complete
Three hundred years after the fall, the known world is beginning to regain a semblance of order, with the sword the ultimate power once more. But not everything of old was lost, and there are some that will exert deadly effort to obtain what was left behind. Orphaned, plague-marked and mistrusted by the community he lives in, a boy must come to terms with the fact that he is different from everyone else, but is soon the focus of unwelcome and deadly attention. Separated from her father, a young girl has to learn to survive in a foreign land haunted by tribes of ghosts and roving bands of piratical thralls to a sadistic King. A watcher keeps lonely vigil from within a fortress that has been under siege for hundreds of years, while a soldier dies for the twenty-third time, and dies again while wondering if he is going mad. First started in 2015, this story is at 50k+ words, but was removed when a plotting hiccup was encountered. I now intend to split it into three parts, and this is the complete Part 1. Part 2 will begin once I've finished editing another work... Please vote and comment, as your input will help shape the story. Enjoy!

How did he get in so much mess, drowning in deceit and betrayal for the love of someone who's respect he lost so long ago? "I thought everything changes once you get bit, how come I still care?"

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.
