In the distant future wind fronts made of cutting dust and flesh eating decay ravage most of the known world. Settlements move underground. Towns near the Arctic Circle become the last sanctuaries in humanity's fight against Death.
Elston and his best friend Riggs work as security guards at the gates of a mid-latitude town the name of which lies buried in a shallow grave. Scouts conditioned from birth to better withstand the hostile surface run to and fro, gathering and delivering fragmented bits of news and meager supplies.
Hope lies mostly dead. Mortality rates are extreme. A discernible future does not exist. And yet, life goes on. The town's society struggles to stand on a skeleton made of little more than pride and sheer will.
In the worst of times life must sacrifice itself to survive...

Ground Zero
A nuclear apocalypse after a terrible war renders the earth barren and void of life. A lone remnant of that war, a bio-metric wolf with metal bones beneath living flesh and skin wanders aimlessly, unsure of purpose or direction. The robotic parts are the only thing keeping it alive for its hundred year lifespan. One day it encounters something strange, something different; a human boy. The boy is unafraid of the wolf and is, in fact, excited to see it. He is looking for animals who his mother told him were ancient guardians of his people and a sign of the one thing they had been waiting so long for; life. But the boy is unaware that this wolf was an animal-like weapon used to hunt down and destroy his people and not a "real" animal at all. Together the boy and the wolf will discover what being alive truly means, and how to navigate through a world reborn in radioactive peril.Concluida
The World We Lost
The world ended in silence. Juhwan and his friends were just ordinary young men sharing an apartment in Seoul-until the infection broke out right outside their door. Trapped as the city collapses overnight, they watch the streets fill with creatures that run, hunt, and remember. With dwindling supplies and no rescue in sight, they face an impossible choice: stay hidden and risk starvation or step into a world where every shadow could mean death. But survival isn't just about avoiding the infected-it's about holding on to each other before fear and desperation tear them apart. Because in the apocalypse, the hardest part isn't dying. It's deciding who you're willing to live for.Concluida

Steady Ground | ✔
He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.

I am going to be making an entirely new book based on this same plot and similar characters... But I will not be a literal child when writing it. Hopefully it's much better lol. _________________________________ Book 1 of the Marks series! _________________________________ What if you fainted, and the place you left, the place you remember, is long gone? Instead you're stuck fighting for your life with the help of your classmates, who all remember everything. But you don't. Ava's twin is hiding something from her, and her best friend isn't the same person she remembers. Her school has been turned into some sort of military base and everyone is in uniform. She hasn't seen any adults, and half of her friends aren't around. What's going on? _____________________________ "I just want to know why. That's it. Why did all these people have to die? Why is it that people had to lose almost everyone they loved in one day? Why? It just doesn't- It isn't-" Dawson sank to his knees and put his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking violently. A sob left his lips, the agonizing sound pulling at my heartstrings. "Why is it that people change? That I'll never get to see..." His voice dragged away into the silent air. Everyone was long gone, having left after the ceremony. Dawson stayed where he was, silent tears running over his fingers and to the ground as his body shook with the force of his cries. ________ This book is based off of my friend Ava's dream.Concluida
