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.

"This message will self destruct in 5 seconds." He turned to look at me, a quizzical expression covering his features. "No, no, no, no! Don't give me that look I know what that means!" I said, defensively. What is it that one does hours before when the Kremlin's intact but once you leave having failed your original objective, it implodes causing the entire world to heap its destruction onto your shoulders, in turn making Russian agents track you down over a series of nations, borders and buildings which simultaneously reveals your actual heritage and the whereabouts of your Mother of whom, you'd been lead to believe died a long time ago? Nope didn't think you had an answer to that. And frankly, neither do I. I manage to get myself so caught up in much of this tangible work that I don't even have a plan of action. I just go with the flow I guess. It's either that or I'm incredibly talented and charismatic. I personally, think it's the latter but I'll leave that decision up to you. The IMF will stop at nothing to get the answers even if the rest of the organisation has been disavowed, having had Ghost Protocol initiated. But that begs the question, can a certain analyst aid them in their efforts? Or is he too, hiding something which goes deeper than anyone initially thought? Join Miles and the rest (or remaining) members of the IMF as they travel the world to stop a nuclear explosion from damaging humanity...

Is this what my life has become? Or has it always been this way, but I just have been too weak and afraid to wake up from this nightmare to care enough to notice? Who the fuck am I?? I don't know, you tell me. But then they came into my life and the image of how I saw myself changed in an instant like a bomb explosion - literally.

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.)

When 18 year-old trust fund kid Quinn York's tourist shuttle to Mars unexpectedly crashes, he wakes up only remembering one name: Celeste. 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"

60 days before the apocalypse started, there was a weird sighting found in Yakutsk, Russia. It looked to be a normal person on the snowy road, but upon further inspection, there was something... Off. This person smelled horrid, his skin was bloated, some parts rotted, his entrails were out, and even some bone peeked out out them. People suspected that this was just a person who likely froze to death, or was ran over, but contrary to that belief, the person was never alive. When they went to check on the body again, it was gone. The police who were called to investigate thought this whole situation was a joke, a waste of time. They never believed the citizens due to no evidence and listed it off as something nonsensical and at best a myth around the area. What started off as a myth now became a daunting reality, as the start of the apocalypse occurs. We are introduced to our protagonist, William (Will) he grew up in London and moved to the US. Renting out an apartment so he can spend more quality time with his love interest. He had a fairly normal life until the the apocalypse started, spreading from Siberia to Mongolia to China, and so fourth. William's reality was turned upside down. The face of a wit, joyful and humorous man became a confused, aggravated and troubled person trying to cheer himself up. He became more impertinent and insensitive ever since his lover became infected and he chose to stay in his apartment recording the apocalypse. Which leads us to the first chapter...
