Nikita Yahontav, a boy who'll do anything for his survival, doesn't feel much. The graphic stories of when monsters, such as zombies, existed were told to him by his father, they only numbed him of fear and cowardice. The years of constant humiliation and isolation from society numbed him from the feeling of loneliness and sadness. When Nikita was stripped of the many things he held precious, he numbed himself from joy and excitement. Nikita simply does not show emotion like other people.

***

This story takes place not too far into the future, when the government of America betrayed its country. They dropped the nuclear bombs meant for World War 3 and set out a thought-to-be extinct creature to destroy the rest of the survivors if there was any. 

Nikita Yahontav's father went out of their bunker at this time. He gave up hope of him coming back after what seemed to be weeks. Food and water was running thin, his cat was starving, and despite his pride, Nikita was losing his sanity. 

When he has had enough, Nikita goes out in hopes to get something to eat and perhaps find a person who he can interact with. But when he gets to the surface, he finds creatures that can only be described as the ones in the stories his father used to tell him. 

Read as Nikita fights for his life, builds up a community, and then watch it all crumble before him. 

***

DISCLAIMER: In no way shape or form am I trying to attack the president of the United States of America or America in general. Also worthy to note, this deals with issues that some viewers may find disturbing. Read at your own discretion.

Her Dad's company strikes a business deal, resulting in their leave. . or so she originally thought. Once there, the town's people began to act peculiar; sniffing the air whenever she strolled past and gaping at her as if they hadn't seen another human being in their life, or maybe that was just the case. Abigail isn't the one to be curious about most things, especially when things begin to accumulate bizarre events They all had one common emotion continuously gleaming in their eyes when they veered her way, and she began to question the town itself from that point forward. The growls, the changing of eye color, the animalistic ways- this town carries mysteries that set her ablaze with curiosity. She's set on finding that out after a frightening encounter in the woods.

NAINA ||ONC 2021|| by Anon_Star

Naina, a crazy girl, exiled from her hometown, accused of practicing black magic that took her parent's life. Her unique ability, unknown to the world. It burnt down along with her parent's body. Her name itself held deep meaning. Too many secrets she stored inside her, regretting every time why she did not heed her parent's warning. He was a scar, a scar cursed by the unknowns. Hidden in the deepest darkest forest of Azerbaijan, a dense forest, only to appear out of hiding after the sunset mingling with humans in his human form. Not even a single mortal could stand his original form. A monster who could turn anybody into ashes by a mere click of his fingers. Fate played a disastrous yet remarkable game with them both. Bringing them together as the one had the restorative of freedom of the other. ********* ONC 2021 Entry using Prompt No. 56 as the main theme and prompt 22 and 50 as its substitutes.

Nuclear Love by CHSmithAuthor

He knows he has to find her no matter the cost, even if he loses his own life in the process. Quinn discovers the world is changed however; the nuclear holocaust that caused the shuttle to crash also set the world in commotion. It becomes a "kill or be killed" life for Quinn as he does anything he can to find Celeste. To do so, he must survive cruel raiders, grotesque animals, and a new breed of mutated human survivors called Skulks. **PLEASE NOTE: This is a progressive book, meaning throughout the book, the main character will be presented with different options. A "Choose Your Own Adventure" if you will! It is up to you as the readers to determine the actions of Quinn York. I don't know how this story will turn out, and I'm excited to see what path it takes. Will Quinn be a fearless raider killer or will he become the most horrible human being on the planet? THE READERS WILL DECIDE - HIS FATE IS IN YOUR HANDS!!! **Please comment at the end of the chapter about which action you vote for to make it simpler for all of us. I will require a minimum number of comments/votes before moving on, which I will state at the end of the chapter. I will post a new chapter once a week, because I do have a busy life, and I will be doing several revisions on top of massive brainstorming depending on what options you all choose. So please be patient, and please "LIKE" my book to spread the love. Thanks and enjoy reading "Nuclear"

They were once reluctant allies but now find themselves embroiled in a deadly, global fight for the planet's few remaining resources. While the population fights to survive in enormous urban wastelands, both regimes use advanced technologies and covert tactics in a desperate push for absolute dominion. During the pandemonium, 17-year-old Caleb Morrow, a scrappy survivor from the ruins of Canada, is conscripted into the US military. Meanwhile, on the other side, Elena Morozova, an 18-year-old Russian conscript hailing from the ruins of Norway, ascends the ranks in the Russian military. As this conflict between the 2 last countries left spirals out of control, the past suddenly begins to rise from the ashes leaving questions to arise in the thoughts of many soldiers on both sides including Caleb and Elena that, if answered, reveals a dark and unsettling truth.

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

༒𝐍𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐭༒ ༻𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐀𝐦𝐞༺ by Incognito7671

Russia's life changed forever when he was twelve. Not when he lost his mother or started puberty, but the night he was attacked by a man who wasn't entirely human. The aftermath left him with heightened senses, an insatiable thirst for blood, and fangs he never asked for. He hated the one who did this to him, who turned him into a fanged freak, but not as much as he hated himself. For five years, Russia has survived on blood bags, chocolate, and the occasional animal, all while suppressing his instincts and the monster lurking beneath. The fragile balance shatters when a new kid named America sits next to him in first period. America's scent is maddening, and his relentless attempts at friendship are even worse. But the biggest problem is that Russia can't let him get close--not when the darkness inside is always one slip away from taking control. America's life has never been normal, because his normal was hunting the abnormal. Raised in a family of vampire hunters, he was trained to track and kill the creatures in small, suspicious towns. But after a close call that almost cost his mother her life, America's family called it quits. No more hunts. They moved to a quiet town to settle down. At least, that was the plan. When a young girl is found brutally murdered, her neck torn and her body drained of blood, America's family prepares for one last hunt. Meanwhile, Russia's family accuses him of the crime and exiles him, claiming he broke the one rule: Don't kill for blood. But Russia didn't do it. Forced to work together to clear his name, America and Russia find themselves tangled in a web of lies, hunger, and danger. How does Russia react when he learns his new friend is a vampire killer? How does America handle helping the very thing he's been trained to kill? And, of course, can they ultimately find it in themselves to stow their shit and focus on the real threat?
