It's the end of World War 3 and maybe the end of humanity. The war that's been going on for 20 years and is ending in mushroom clouds. Two RadioKids; Finley and Phillip aswell as a man called General Toms were sent in to save people in some of the biggest cities. It goes downhill when Finley finds something out... something that screws their whole plan over.
This was for a writing competition at school. It had a 700 word limit. I decide to make a sort of prologue to a dystopian / Sci-fI novel idea I had. These are the inspirations:
The Hunger Games
The Bobiverse Trilogy by Dennis E Taylor (book)
The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey (book)
Limetown by Two-Up (Podcast)
The Box by .... The Box Podcast(...?) (Podcast)
Book idea summery (don't read unless you've read the short story):
After a World War that ended with all sides nuking and Bombing each other, the world has become an uninhabitable wasteland and the safest place to go is Chernobyl. But problems arise when the sarcophagus, that has been up for almost 30 years now starts to heavily decay. An enclave of survivors (possibly the only ones) are concerned that if the structure collapses it could release a high amount of radiation or worse, cause another explosion. It's up to Finley, a radio kid with the ability to read minds, Sanda Johnson, a British engineer, and ION, Sanda's Artificial Intelligence to figure out a way to fix it.
Together, they must save the enclave.
They must save Chernobyl.
They must save the world.

Fallout: Rebirth
In the heart of Texas, beneath the ruins of a nation that once stood as the world's last superpower, they awaken. Fifty-five thousand soldiers, warriors of the old world, preserved in cryogenic sleep since the twilight of America. With them, their families-men, women, and children frozen alongside the last true remnants of the United States Army. It was a desperate gamble, a contingency plan set in motion by a government that saw the end coming but refused to let the dream die. If the worst should happen, if the bombs fell, these soldiers would be the ones to rebuild. The worst did happen. The world burned. The United States was reduced to ash and legend, just another name lost in the howling chaos of the wasteland. And for 29 years, the vault's technicians kept their watch, aging in silence, waiting for the day the world would be stable enough to wake them. That day has come. In 2106, the chambers unlock. Ice cracks, breath returns, and the army of the past rises once more. They step into a world that is not their own, a world that has forgotten them, a world where law and order have given way to might and madness. But they were not preserved to be forgotten. They were not sent to sleep so that the dream of America would die in the dark. They will reclaim the land. They will rebuild the nation. They will finish what was started. But the wasteland is not a battlefield. It is not a war they were trained to fight. And in this new world, the old rules mean nothing. If they are to bring back the United States, they will have to earn it. Not with guns, not with power-but with will, with sacrifice, and with the sheer, unrelenting belief that America is not just a country. It is an idea. And as long as they stand, it will never die.

"You say that you have a whole hell of problems, but you underestimate the hell I've been through," I murmur, as he tilts his head downwards towards mine. He glances back in forth between my eyes for a moment before taking my cheek in his hand. He brings his lips centimetres from mine. "We can walk through any hell the world throws at us," he whispers finally before presses his lips against mine. ~~~~ After Hailey Arrette Kane is found as being a second child to Coralie Kane, she is forced into the Skybox per her sister's request. Her sister, Arlo Riv Kane, managed to convince her dad and the council that she needed to die in Hailey's place, allowing Hailey to live just as long as she did but in the Skybox. After her 21st birthday, which marked her fourth year in the Skybox, the council made a decision. They were going to send 100 delinquents to the ground as an experiment to see whether the level of radiation was survivable or not. In doing so, they managed to sentence almost all of them to an untimely death that was almost inevitable. With the idea of freedom, Hailey knows that she is never safe and that if weaknesses are shown, someone will use them against her. Will she be able to overcome her emotional and mental walls, even if it means that she'd be vulnerable? Being on the ground will change Hailey in ways that the people on the ark would never expect. She will find a better version of herself. Hailey will become what she was always meant to be, a warrior.

End of Days
"Trust you? Are you kidding? I think it should be pretty evident to you that we don't trust you." "Henry, I would like to speak to you alone." Cyrus says, now ignoring Nolan. My father shakes his head slowly, "if you want to talk say it here. I'm not going anywhere alone with you. Not until we have some answers." Cyrus doesn't budge, clearly not willing to talk infront of us all. "Alright, everyone pack your bags we are leaving in the morning, and we are taking that car. If you want to try and stop us, just remember you're the ones that trained us," He finishes, dramatically flicking the safety off his gun and holding it at his side. ------- In a world following its fourth world war, Mazlynn, her family, and a few neighbors survive the bombings against all odds.

My Chaos Academia: Brotherhood (MHA/BNHA)
(Chapters 1-17 Rewritten) I died prematurely in the least cliché way possible... Vaporized as a result of a powerful and fantastic nuclear explosion! How cool, right? But that was only the prologue of my adventure... I was reincarnated in the world of My Hero Academia as the little brother of the protagonist with a wonderful and terrifying quirk of intelligence. With great power comes great responsibility... Hah! Boring! I will use the power of my twisted imagination to have a lot of fun in this world by unleashing chaos around me while I enjoy the show eating popcorn. Sometimes a child just wants to see the world burn... A fantastic giant robot! A really cool lightsaber! Robotic tentacles! Anything my twisted mind can imagine! I'll build it! And I plan to have a lot of fun in the process! So I became the youngest S-Rank Villain in the world, created an evil organization for my amusement, and as if that wasn't enough... I completely altered the plot for my personal benefit. And the best of all! No one suspects that Izuku Midoriya's innocent and charismatic little brother is really the mastermind behind all this chaos! "I am Child Emperor! And this world will become my playground!" I exclaimed happily, raising my fists in the air in front of a terrified crowd of heroes and villains. "HAIL HYDRA!" I exclaimed defiantly from atop a gigantic combat robot as a crooked smile spread across my face. Something tells me there will be no school tomorrow... Hehe.

The Best Laid Plans
This is my fanfic of the PC game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl. It's an excellent game based on the Strugatsky brother's novel 'Roadside Picnic'. This novel was the first to made me realise that aliens would be so...well...alien, that we wouldn't be unable to understand anything about them, not even their waste! The game differs from the book. Among other differences, it is based on the fallout zone of the Chernobyl reactor and the city of Pripeyat a. I wrote this for a contest and I won a copy of the game, personally signed by the entire development team! This is the story of Oleg and leonid, Stalkers. One is ambitious and will stop at nothing to gain control of his faction and the other a traumatised outcast on a never ending search for his lost sister. Both quests collide in the twisted and dangerous area called the Zone, a region that defies human understanding.Complete
Young Shifter ||AOT x Child!Reader||
You..had an unusual situation. You were right there on the day your Mom was devoured by the mouth of a 'Titan'. You had just been found after being lost for the past 6 hours. Your best friend, who was around the age of 7, lead you deeper and deeper away from the center of town. He stopped suddenly, but then pulled out a needle with purple liquid inside, "Listen here, (Y/N)...I won't blame you if you resent me the rest of your life for this, I am being so selfish. I stole this serum from my elder brother. He gave me the ability to turn into a titan..one titan nobody has ever seen....I. just can't handle it, so I will entrust it to you." He said as you stood with confusion in your eyes. You let out a simple "Huh?" You were only 4, so you barely understood half of what he was even saying. He sighed then looked at you, determinations lingering in his eyes. "I am entrusting the future to you." x- Achievements -x ---------------------------- levi : #1 on 12/28/21 armin : #1 on 5/15/21 attackontitan : #1 on 4/14/21 titan: #1 on 11/26/21 aotxreader : #2 on 4/9/21 aot : #8 on 4/30/21 leviheichou : #3 on 4/29/21 arminarlert : #1 on 7/24/22 aotfanfic: #1 on 12/13/22 leviackerman: #1 on 6/9/24 -+ .... +- Thank you for all the amazing support this book has received!

Blood of My Blood
A strange-looking contraption is seen rapidly falling from the sky. Its descent was calculated and precise...until it wasn't. Halfway after entering the green and blue planet's atmosphere, it started burning up, rendering some of its parts unusable. Inside this burning contraption are a bunch of...kids. These kids numbered a hundred, have ages ranging from 12 to 17. And as for why they are all strapped inside this burning 90-year-old dropship heading to the ground...Well, it all started at the end. Ninety-seven years ago, a nuclear apocalypse struck the Earth, leaving the planet simmering in radiation. But of course, the human race was a stubborn one. At the time of the bombs, twelve nations had operational space stations that they used to house survivors. Later, these twelve stations banded up and merged, becoming the one we now know as The Ark. For many years now, The Ark has kept what's left of humanity alive. But about a year ago, an engineer discovered a huge problem in the Ark's system. The Ark's life support systems are failing, and it won't be long before they run out of air and die. Hence, the current situation. These kids are being sent on a desperate mission to see if the ground is survivable again. But why kids though? Won't it be better to have the more capable scientists or guards be the ones to take this risk? The council had a lot of reasons, but the main one being: these kids were expendable, after all, they are criminals. --- This is a The 100 Fanfiction. The MC is a reincarnator. Yeah, I know. It might as well be a self-insert fic at just how much I relate my MCs to myself. Anyway... This story has been picking up dust in the corner of my WIPs. It's time to let it see the light of day. It's been so long since I started this fic, hence I will have to revisit the deepest part of my head to remember how I wanted this story to go in the first place. Updates will be few and inconsistent. 43àd à5 6974 92ñ 48ßk.
Children of the Ark ✔️
Every three years a group of two-hundred teens get sent to Earth. After spending two years on Earth, you can choose to go back onto the Ark or to stay on Earth. Most don't survive the first week.

Every animal on Earth wants to kill humans, they have all mutated after the Nuclear War, all the ones that survived, and are out for human flesh and blood. Bastien Water's name gets called out during the Choosing and he has to try to survive on Earth. While his family grieves thinking that Bastien won't survive but he's out to prove them wrong. Bastien meets new people, makes some friends and make some enemies. Bastien has to face many challenges to survive on Earth. Will he be able to do it?
