My name is Jeremy Cooper. I simply cannot answer this question for myself, so it's something I must ask. Where are we now? This isn't how this was supposed to go. We were supposed to be free from darkness. This was supposed to be a chance to restart, to create peace, and finally bring the world towards perfection. But I get it now. That isn't a possible future. People still steal, they lie, they do all kinds of unimaginable things. But they are all given a chance. Even the ones who murder. Because if we start killing each other during the apocalypse, even us who are evil, it won't take long for earths population to drop down to zero. We won't let that happen. No matter the circumstances, the life of any sinner will not be taken, but will be given a chance to redeem itself. Murders will be punished, but even they will be given another opportunity to make things right. In the past, they have. So, let us see them do it, once more.
Time period: 2029
Ten years since the extermination of all human life on earth, failed.
My wife and I are having to balance raising children through all of this, with leading, and restructuring the world to how it was before. But if we're not going to make it better then how it was, what's the point? The old system was broken. This is a new beginning, and is a chance to start a world that will last until the next generations future. Because the old world would have killed itself whether the bombs had dropped, or hadn't. Perhaps this is our last chance to save it.

Hunted
*Completed* My name is Silver Jones, or at least it is now. I have been hiding in the witness protection program since I was a kid. I knew the rules. Stay quiet, stay invisible. If no one notices me, the less likely he will find me. But everything changes when I get to the small town of Hopesprings, Colorado. The town wasn't on a single map, so I guess my handlers thought it was the perfect place to hide. Everything goes unnoticed there, but that was until I learned the town's hidden secret. It wasn't on the map because it was built for the witness protection. This gave a whole new meaning to hiding in plain sight. I'm not the only one being hunted down. The government decided to round us all up and place us together. It almost seems like they wanted a bright red target on our heads. Now it is easier to be found. I know he's coming for me, but the question remains. Who will he bring with him? What happens when the town where everyone's hiding is found by their worst nightmares? ***** This book is selected as mature because of the violence depicted and the language used. Although it does depict much blood, it isn't overly described. If at any point, the graphics are too much, stop reading and message me about it. This novel does have spelling and grammar mistakes. This story is the first book I have ever uploaded to this site, and for those of you brave enough to read it, I applaud you. It really is horrible, like seriously bad.

Black Hearts [Short]
It was the year 2055 and the few remaining people on Earth were still fighting to re-take back the planet from the Undead. The monsters who brought back these beings from the dead were Angels. There reasons for this massacre, that's lasted for decades, was to punish the humans for all the wrong they've done. Killing each others, polluting the Earth, all the violence in the world. There was no end to it all, none. The Angels were sent in to punish us by the Almighty Man himself. No and's, if's or but's about it. He sent them down right after World War III in 2015 was coming to a close. The Humans never saw it coming, though they were warned plenty of times. But of course we never payed attention or ever thought of them as warnings for the worse, just a reason to cause more violence and destruction of the World. So I guess in a way, the Almighty Man made it worse for everyone, instead of warning us he just screwed himself up..... Looks likes its time to clean up His mess.Complete
Ended
I am dying. I know this because i can feel all my senses leaving me. I can see flashes, recollections, of my past. They preen at me through my lashes. But I am calm. There is a feeling of delirium thumping in my heart, spreading through my body. With the little strength that I can muster, I reach out to take hold of the nearest objects to me. It ties me to the earth, but when my eyes no longer see light, the bond that keeps me on this world will be severed, and no longer shall i be alive. What if you and a four other people where the only ones alive on earth? After the Apocalypse, everyone died. Except for five of us. My name is Thalia, when I was thirteen years old, the earth was broken by deadly storms, methane, tsunamis, earthquakes. I survived. For years I wandered the earth, raiding abandoned shops for food, seeking shelter. Now I am fifteen, I feel like I have found a home. I have found a band of survivors like me. These people survived the Apocalypse, and now, we want answers .Complete
Mankind devoured - BOOK 1
Hello, Logan here. It is 2021, and this is the first book that I ever wrote. It's shit. I'm publishing it back on Wattpad again so my friend can read it. It is unedited and as I left it in 2017. I am currently published with three books out, and this is so funny to look back on. Enjoy reading my shittest work to date. Lots and lots of love, Logan Beadnell-Davies The overarching theme for this first book is a theme of rage and hatred. In the words of a great philosopher; there is no limit to the gruesome and grotesque things we are willing to do in the name of survival. While reading this; Remember that not everything is as it seems. Remember that loved characters will die. Remember that the world will gradually get worse as the parts go on. Take a moment to ask yourselves these questions: What would you do in the name of survival? Would you steal to survive? Would you kill to survive? Would you lose your mind to survive? If you lost your mind, do you think you'd kill more, steal, injure, backstab, rape or any other atrocity you can think of? If you can think of it, then maybe you would. The characters and situations in this book are very real, if gore or horrific mental images scare you, then I wouldn't recommend reading far. DESCRIPTION: The Infection claimed the lives of over 3 billion people before the TV's went off. But it would claim many more. The problem didn't arise when those people got up and started walking again, or even when they started eating and infecting others, it began when people got desperate. In this new world, the true evil that humans are capable of gradually becomes more apparent, and a part of everyday life. Normality doesn't exist, people don't help other people. Friends aren't a thing anymore. All anyone truly has is themselves, and the burdens they carry.Complete
Angels & Demons
In a new world, there is no God. There are Heaven and Hell, there is Lucifer the King of Hell and in Heaven, there is a council which is made up of Gabrielle, Michael, and Raphael. The Bible only mentions the names of four angels from the countless millions that have been created. No one knows who created them, or how they found their way. They are Gabrielle, whose name means, "God is Mighty", Michael, whose name means, "Like God", Raphael, whose name means, "God Heals", and Lucifer, whose name means, "Light Bearer". All of them were good and held the peace of Heaven for eons. During this time, they created Earth. It was created so that they could trail run a new species, called Humans. But before they could really monitor the succession rate or oversee what was happening on Earth, Lucifer struck. It was Lucifer who rebelled against the others and who through pride, coveted the Throne of God and the worship that belonged to all of them equally. This resulted in a mighty war in Heaven. Lucifer, along with one-third of the angelic host was defeated by the Archangel Michael and was cast down from Heaven to the earth where he became known as "Satan", a name which literally means; "Adversary" as well as "Devil", which means, "Accuser of the brethren." After Jesus, who was meant to show Humans how to live, was crucified Lucifer swore he would bare a child onto the Earth and that child would be the end of the Human race and in return, Michael, Gabrielle, and Raphael said when the time came, they too would create a son to fight this devil child. That was roughly 1980 years ago, give or take a decade or two and no child has been born. Until now. [RANKED 79TH IN EARTH - 29th Aug 2018]Complete
The reborn villainess; the end was just the beginning
My hands were stretched out to him. Expressing what my voice couldn't. I needed his help - even if it's just this once - I'd hoped he helped me. But he didn't reach out to me. Instead, I watch him turn his back at me. I watch him walk away when I needed him the most. Even after all she said, there was a part of me that hoped it wasn't true. Even if he doesn't love me - I'd thought he would at the very least liked me... maybe? I thought all the things I did for him would make him see me, tolerate me or something. But no. We kept drifting further apart. And it's all my fault. I simply did too much. I trusted the wrong person. Did the craziest things for love. Forgot my self worth. All these to earn his approval, his acknowledgment - for him to see me - none of which ever happened. And now, here I am. Lying in the pool of my own blood for someone who doesn't even care for my life or death. Oh, how I wish I could turn back time! I refuse to face my family like this. This is too shameful. For I've fallen too far from the woman I was raised to be. I dare not face my mama. Now, for the first time ever, I wish not to be seen, heard or even thought of- I wish not to be saved. I wish my soul disintegrates and scatters into nothingness . I wish to be completely erased from the universe. This story isn't edited yet. I apologize for some mistakes you might see. Your comments and advices are appreciated as this is my first book so it might be quite... Thank you
Inhuman (OLD VERSION; UNFINISHED - SEE NEW BOOK)
***CURRENTLY UNDERGOING MASS NARRATIVE OVERHAUL - PLEASE GO TO MY NEW BOOK 'INHUMAN (NEW)' ON MY PROFILE. I'VE DECIDED TO TAKE THE NARRATIVE IN A NEW DIRECTION AND WILL BE TRYING TO RETURN TO, REVISE AND ADD TO THE STORY MORE OFTEN. THANK YOU! *** Beth: I'm one of the many working to find a cure for the virus so that humanity can live and die naturally once more. The difference between me and the others looking for a cure is I've found something that could lead to one - and it could change everything. I know I'm being watched. I know that I'm in danger. Some don't want to go back to the old ways. They say we deserve our curse and that it's our eternal punishment for the crimes committed by our ancestors. I say to hell with them. Whatever is causing us to die before our time isn't natural. I'll fight until my dying breath to find a cure. Jay: She thinks she knows the truth, but she only knows one part of an even bigger lie. I don't know if I can trust her, but still I have to try. If I can save her, it might be the beginning of a new era. If I can save her, maybe she can save us all. Generations of humanity have been plagued by the virus ever since an extremist group unleashed it. Hope has all but faded. Humanity it seems is lost. All efforts to find a cure have failed. Until now.Complete
How to beat The Seven Deadly Sins (Written by ya boi)
"So You Wanna Beat Sin Huh? Buckle Up Then." Hey. You. Yeah, you. The one struggling, crawling, maybe crying in the dark and pretending not to. Welcome. This ain't your Sunday School devotional with a side of orange juice and forced smiles. This is war. A spiritual war. And you're in it whether you signed up or not. The enemy doesn't care if you're tired. He doesn't wait until you're ready. He just hits. But I got good news. Jesus already won. We're not here to earn the victory - we're here to live in it. But living in victory doesn't mean you sit there and do nothing. No no. You still fight. You still resist. You still pick up your sword - aka the Word of God - and slice through the lies that have kept you chained for too long. This series? It's a guide. Not a perfect one, but a real one. Written by a guy who's messed up. Who's been in the mud. Who's stared Lust in the face and said "Not today, you seductive gremlin." Who's battled Sloth while sitting in bed going "just five more minutes." Who's tasted the poison of Pride, felt the sting of Envy, and almost drowned in Wrath. I didn't win with willpower. I won by surrender. I didn't beat sin by being "better." I beat it by letting Jesus take the wheel - and the gas, and the brakes... Oh right, and the aux cord. So, if you're ready to stop pretending sin is harmless... If you're done letting Lust slap you around like you owe it money... If you're tired of Gluttony whispering "you deserve this" while it steals your joy... Then this is for you. We're going in. One sin at a time. We're naming names. Exposing the darkness. And dragging each demon by the hair straight into the light of God's truth. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be sick of being chained. Let's break the cycle. Let's break the silence. Let's beat these sins - not by our might, but by the One who conquered death itself. You in? Good. Turn the page. It's time to start swinging.Complete
The Burning Son
Have you ever wondered why things are the way they are? Is society really getting anywhere? Are we bettering ourselves and the places we call home? This is a story about us, a story that isn't being told, a story that needs no attention except for the attention you want to give it. I'm no expert in anything. I have been learning about different things throughout my life and have yet to master anything. I'm your typical person; I have a wife and two kids, a dog, a cat, and live in a house in a small community in BC. I was raised on the Prairies and understand the value of hard work. I have studied business, economics, commodity trading, carpentry, and other functions within our society, all which have led me to write this story, the story of a burning son. So what is The Burning Son all about? It's a quest to change the way we perceive our global society, and an effort to change the way we look at our history and our future. Our society has operated efficiently and progressively for centuries. It's about the stories that exist, it's about the technologies that exist, it's about our world, our planet, our force, and our time.Complete
In Shadows of Night
I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.
