*Title and Cover to be Changed!*
Ophelia Scarlatti has had a difficult life. In and out of foster care from ages three to eight, dealing with her parent's addictions, and handling the loss of her grandmother, she and her brother take guardianship of their youngest siblings, where she is quick to talk to a recruiter about joining the Army. Once sworn in, she is flown to Oklahoma, where she begins training. In week two of her training, the world stops.
A deadly virus breaks out, only adding to the ever present reality that 97.9% of the population was wiped out.
Separated from her brothers and sister, Scarlatti befriends her Drill Sergeants and a fellow trainee, and they devise a plan to get Stone home, and search for the rumored "safe havens" in unharmed military bases. Armed only with what they can carry, the unlikely allies make their way to Stone's hometown, over 500 miles away. What they find can only be described as wreckage and leads to heartache.

28 DECADES LATER
Title: 28 Decades Later Genre: Sci-Fi | Adventure | Romance Setting: 280 years after the zombie apocalypse Synopsis: Nearly three centuries after the world was shattered by the zombie outbreak, humanity has triumphed-but at a cost. With cutting-edge technology, global cooperation, and ruthless efficiency, the last of the undead were eradicated. But the origin of the virus remains a mystery. Fearing a second outbreak, strict population control and isolation protocols now define human survival. Nations no longer exist-only fortresses, each one self-governed, self-sustained, and wary of the world beyond their walls. Fortress Azul is the most advanced and secure of them all. For over a decade, it has thrived without trade, war, or need. Inside its walls lives Trevor Vale, the obedient son of Azul's iron-willed mayor. Groomed to one day inherit leadership, Trevor has never questioned the rules-until he meets Mia, a wild and resourceful girl from outside the fortress, a "gypsy" wanderer who knows the forgotten world better than any book or monitor ever could. When Mia is caught sneaking into Azul and Trevor secretly helps her escape punishment, he uncovers truths long buried-about the virus, the fortress, and the outside world. As their bond deepens, so does the danger. Mia's presence challenges everything Azul stands for, and Trevor must choose: stay within the walls of safety and control... or follow Mia into the uncertain wilds, where freedom comes with risk-and beauty hides in ruin. But something is stirring beyond the horizon. No zombie has been seen in decades... until now.

Protective. But as (Y/n) leaves the base, strange things begin to happen. Her phone glitches. Her tech responds without her touch. Security cameras follow her every move.

Blind Promises
A lonely girl from a small town in Oklahoma finds herself in the middle of Seattle, Washington. What she didn't know was fate was about to deal her a hand that she needed to help put all her demons back where they belonged, locked away for good. A war hardened soldier, blinded in an attack while doing a black ops mission, was sitting there with his friend at a movie night of all things when an angel walked into the room. What little vision he did have gave him the notion that an ethereal being had just graced his presence. Little did he know, she'd be stuck with him for the foreseeable future after an unexpected attack. At first she was drawn to his service dog, but then it wasn't long before she couldn't keep her mind off of him. Which was good because he had no plans of ever letting her go. Sight unseen, he'd decided she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever met. He knew he had issues she didn't deserve to have to handle. She knew she had a past that he wouldn't want to deal with. But fate had other plans for the two lovers, a blind promise. Can they work through their differences, their mental health challenges, and the dangerous situations that come their way?Complete

Beastars | CONTAGION
Australia was once a country with Carnivores and Herbivores coexisting with the Omnivores. Humans, considered class Omnivores, came out with a strange pathogen. During the first week, humans were infected with a virus showing cannibalistic behaviour only to their own species. Biting. Eating the flesh of ones own species. Violent behaviour. It baffled scientists at it's cause, wondering what it is. Animals however, were invisible to the infected Omnivores. Humans were ignoring the Herbivores and Carnivores. Until, they too got infected. Somehow they did. Whatever caused it, they can see both human and animal as their prey. Even if their prey are carnivores. The army lost control within the first month. Airports shut down in areas nearby, while flights didn't dare to go back to Australia. No other country was willing to take Refugees. But one showed compassion and opened it's doors. One female scientist in the military made it a goal to find a solution before things get bad. ___________________________________________ Warnings: Blood descriptive depth of Injury and blood.
