Interrupted Journey by GarethN

One simple rule: anyone trying to cross the bridge must die. A simple journey interrupted by the sudden failure of all electronics; stuck miles from the rest of the family; we struggled to even return home as society started to crumble around us. As it became clear that this more than a local problem and that no help was coming from outside, we retreated to the remote family farmhouse with relatives and trusted friends here we desperately tried to gather the food that we would need for the coming year. But as the world collapsed into starvation, anarchy and cannibalism, we began to understand the true price to be paid to ensure we were to be part of the five percent that might survive this apocalypse. That price might just be our own humanity.

To the Well-Organized Mind by AyndhriaSoung

After Earth is ravaged by climate change and the Cataclysm-the largest earthquake in history- humans are struggling to survive. Swathes of unlivable landscapes, the Barrens, continue to grow. Everywhere else is a battleground, where humans fight each other for food, water, and shelter. Humanity's numbers further dwindle as they fall victim to a new bacteria unearthed by the Cataclysm, Dementium feralis. It causes humans to lose their higher cognitive functions and turn feral, like the primates they originated from. There is no cure. Nia is a survivor of this world. She makes a living doing the riskiest endeavors-traveling the Barrens, collecting survivors, and hunting for the remaining vaccines that can help delay feralism. People are in awe of her willingness to risk her life, but it's easy when your days are numbered, and hers are. She's turning feral. However, her latest foray into the Barrens leads to an incredible discovery: someone with the potential to create a feralism cure. But it takes time and risk to create a cure, without promise of a payout. To Nia, some fates are worse than death, and the only absolute is the oblivion of feralism awaiting her. She must choose what to embrace: the feralism that could be humanity's only survival, or the risk for a cure. **** Now available on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Well-Organized-Mind-Andrea-Soung/dp/B0C6BQTZ2B/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=Fl3EC&content-id=amzn1.sym.ed85217c-14c9-4aa0-b248-e47393e2ce12&pf_rd_p=ed85217c-14c9-4aa0-b248-e47393e2ce12&pf_rd_r=139-9204535-3864644&pd_rd_wg=rvk9V&pd_rd_r=1a892e06-01ad-4e5e-802a-e856a57daf20&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_dsk **** Cover art compiled by Andrea Soung Man image credit: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/man-destruction-double-exposure-1519665/ Wasteland image credit: https://pixabay.com/illustrations/landscape-scenery-nature-deserts-6880552/

Countd0wn by NuffSaid_TheScribe

(Highest Ranking: 14 in Science Fiction) 1 year ago, all of humanity was changed in an instant by an event known as the Singularity, a massive shockwave of energy that encompassed the entire planet. Anyone who was exposed to it was altered on a genetic level. Some were given extraordinary abilities and powers unlike anything ever seen before. Others were mutated into terrifying creatures that now roam the Earth as monsters. Civilization has now collapsed, and humans have become an endangered species. Wren Sawyer and his younger sister Ivy are two of those endangered beings, and struggle to survive in the remains of what was once their lives, but also manage to uncover a strange mystery that will unravel the terrible truth behind the Singularity...

GREEN [complete] by cogesque

Sekam, a shape-shifting demigoddess, and her guardian, the fourth creator good, wander a neon green toxic wasteland left in the wake of biowarfare while humankind cowers. To restore her true form, Sekam must find a cure. When she saves Dylan, a biohacker who knows more than they are letting on, her path becomes clear. Mars wants to see the world and experience everything it has to offer him, but he can't do that from inside a glass cage locked away in a laboratory. A failed attempt to create a better weapon with partial immunity to the green, Mars is a lab experiment whose cells are routinely reprogrammed to test new algorithms and their response to the green. And they're all supposed to come together and save the world. We'll see about that. Rough draft for NaNoWriMo.

Out of the Fire by ejcou0

What would you do if you discovered the end of the world was really nigh? Which way out would you take if you were very wealthy and discovered there were two possible paths to avoiding the catastrophe? Would you choose a dangerous jump to the future or risk hiding in a sanctuary until the danger has passed? An adventure into a post apocalyptic Earth, where the future isn't a desert inhabited by weirdos and strange cars, one that is green and fertile, but still dangerous. Welcome to a future world where all isn't as it appears, one where all the preparation you could think of, may not be enough.

The Rift by SymfoniaTheMyth

In a world forever altered by a cataclysmic event, humanity now exists in two starkly contrasting realms. One side is a gleaming enclave of advanced technology and apparent perfection, while the other is a desolate wasteland where survivors struggle amid the ruins of a lost civilization. Within the utopian enclave of Passis, Kade, a man who typically avoids bending the rules or venturing beyond his comfort zone, is drawn into a journey of discovery by a lone survivor in the Rift. As he delves deeper, he uncovers disturbing truths about the hidden costs and the Sovereigns' oppressive measures that keep the desperate inhabitants of the Rift isolated and forgotten.

Runaway World by IanReeve216

During the final decades of the twenty first century, a rogue brown dwarf star passed through the solar system and its gravity threw the Earth out of orbit around the sun. Two hundred years later, when the atmosphere has finished freezing onto the surface, explorers from the last refuge of humanity venture out to see what's become of their world. Things looks bleak. Mankind faces a future of huddling in whatever warm refuges it can make for itself until the Earth's core goes cold, but then a discovery is made. An opportunity exists for mankind to leave the planet and find its destiny among the stars, but to do so requires an all or nothing gamble and losing would mean the end of the human race. Some want to take the gamble. Others don't, and so conflict and violence breaks out as the survey teams explore a planet transformed out of all recognition...

The Hangman's Plague by MSulejmanovic

It is the second decade of the second millennium and an unsuspecting world is engulfed by an unknown plague. Uncurable and fatal, it was hence named the Hangman's Plague. The survivors of this brave new world must find a way to operate in an environment of scarcity. Some still yearn for the olden days of humanity, an era of plenty. Only those most determined to carry on and thrive in a new era of capricious geopolitical uncertainty will prosper and begin a renaissance of humanity. Can these broken pieces be stitched back together, or will we remain forlorn forever?

Planet Cypro by CytrozianGod

For two decades, the Earth had become a place of nightmares to the human race. A disease known as Covid-19, thought to be equivalent to the flu, turned out to be so much more. A very gruesome and powerful alien bio weapon. Not only did it kill billions, but turned their bodies into seeds that grew into alien terraforming roots that reshaped the surface of the Earth, mutating the land, and everything organic, leaving humans to survive on mostly inhabitable planet that's beyond hazardous all over the world. Join a group of survivors in a large city that have locked down an old office building that remains mostly intact as they try and find a way to safety. Their last hope lies in a military base one hundred miles from them, and as they make their journey there, begins the Chaos of Planet Cypro.
