I learned three things during World War III:
1) Pain comes from the most unexpected of places.
2) Humanity disappears all too quickly when people are faced with death.
3) Jumping out of a burning building probably looks a lot less impressive when there's a sore lack of slow motion and you land in a dumpster.
But even after I land myself somewhere and somewhen else entirely, my lessons continue in the most unlikely of classrooms.

The Mind Of Blake Lively
The human body has two mechanisms it uses when faced with sudden great and impending danger. It's a mechanism people use all the time whether they realize it or not. It's called the Fight or Flight reaction. I stand there a bit worried as I take in all the things in their hands: A gun, a metal stick, 2 spray paint bottles, another gun and a pocket knife. "Wow. Would you look at the time. I really must be on my way. Gotta blast".

The Altered.
guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

The Corrupted Soul
[Book 3] People say things can change drastically in just a couple years. I couldn't agree more. In just a few years I went from a regular kid in high school, to Ruler of a zombie species. Of course for everyone else, it was much more than a few years, it was three hundred to be precise. Once the Crawlers wiped themselves out all that long ago, we thought it was over, that Humans would regain control of the planet and things would soon go back to normal. We were wrong. After another man tried to wipe out the human race, it was made apparent that even the original Crawlers may not have died out. They're more illusive than their ancestors, it is unclear whether this entails their danger or not.Complete
