The city was going wild. People--including Harley--were huddled around TVs in shop windows. There were two news anchors sitting at their desk, talking about how a crazed man went  and bit and killed someone in Europe. And then how it started to spread.

       But as he was speaking, Harley looked over to the woman on the screen. She had clawmarks all over her unusually pale skin and her breathing was unsteady and rapid. Almost. . . desperate. But then the screen blackened.

       The city had never been calm, but as the mysterious illness started to spread here, the military came, shooting anyone in sight. Undead or alive, it didn't matter. To them, one less person alive was one less potential walking corpse. Harley was hiding behind the dumpster, facing her makeshift tent that she had called her home for about a year. All she could hear behind her was screaming, crying, and gunshots.

21 parts Complete Mature
Blood? My wrist was covered in it. It wasn't dried up or reeked of the combination of that black gunk from all those other freaks. It was fresh and warm too. Where was it coming from? I checked my body. My t-shirt was splattered in everyone else's blood but my own. Turning over my hand, my eyes lowered to where Ray was holding onto me. I gasped and released him, covering my mouth to stop from screaming. "Holy shit dude! What happened to your-?!" Tears were forming in his eyes but he looked down and hid his hand from me. "Please d-don't worry about it. Let's just go find a real hospital already." He said while shaking. "I...I don't want to think about it right now O-okay? It's no big deal..It's just...it's a finger..." My mind went blank. I pulled him into a tight hug. I wanted to do nothing much but to cry right now. I got him into this mess. This was all my fault. If only we would have just stayed at home that night. I didn't have to go to that stupid concert... After watching fans rip each other apart during one of her concerts, Sasha Brown's main goal was to keep her brother safe from whatever the hell broke loose in Jackson, Tennessee. Expecting the police to take care of it, she soon realize it wasn't blowing over anytime soon, especially with the growing number of rabid monsters running around, the living dead, and crazy psycho cults forming. One night brought an unfamiliar deadly world for both Sasha and her brother Raymond, and both are willing to fight it out to survive it.

The Deadly Walkers / PJM by Nash_Writes97
19 parts Ongoing Mature
A mysterious virus outbreaks and begins something no one ever was ready to face. From rich cities to small towns in South Korea were destroyed and plagued by Zombies, otherwise known as Walkers. Park Jimin never thought he would be in the center of an apocalypse, witnessing the worst reality. A year passed, and he fought to survive, hiding from not only the walkers but also a vicious group called Dolda, who was after the girl he had as a friend since the start of the apocalypse. He hasn't met any survivors whom he could call good people, as the people they ever met either tried to kill him and his friend or stole from them. He thought the word humanity didn't exist anymore, but his thought was proved wrong when he encountered his ex-best friend, Kim Ara, whom he despised. Kim Ara was strong enough to face anything that came to her and brave enough to survive the apocalypse with her group. However, a secret was buried deep inside her, and she didn't want anyone to find out about it, especially Jimin, whom she had met after a long time. SNEAK PEEK: Astonished, Ara looked at Jimin, who was already pointing a shotgun at her, and rolled her eyes in annoyance. "If you want to kill me that badly, why don't you shoot me?" She stepped toward him, gazing at the guns on the shelves. She took a Rifle in her hand, adjusted it, and pointed back at Jimin, who seemed unfazed by her action. She smirked as she closed one eye and looked through the rear sight. Pin-drop silence filled the air as you both stood there, aiming at each other, eyes focused on each other. Ara could see how Jimin's muscles flexed and contracted, and his sharp jaw clenched tightly while his teeth pressed against his lower lip. Her irises trailed on his arms, her mouth curving into an 'o' shape, seeing nerves popping out of his skin. She couldn't help but find him sexy and felt her stomach flip-flop due to it while blood rushed to her cheeks, almost forgetting that she was at gunpoint.
