When the Seas Boil
- Reads 36

- Parts 2
Lush forests have become deserts in a matter of months after the planet experienced an increase in temperature which caused extreme droughts. With the melting of ice, the sea grew and swallowed islands and coastal cities. Humanity had been just barely hanging on when a huge solar storm hit the planet and everything went dark. Without technology, and the end of the world seeming near, society fell into chaos.
It has now been two years since the worldwide blackout and so far there are no signs of recovering. Survivors constantly battle for survival against mother nature and themselves. Society had completely crumbled away and there were no rules, except for one; don't be weak. The grim reaper himself enforced this rule and the punishment was death. One of these survivors is Cassius, a disabled young man, who refuses to die. He is constantly on the move, trusts no one, and seems to only care about himself. One day, this all changes for good.

Decaying Hope

This one in particular, though, is a story of a stranger, who's stranded on this hostile planet for...unknown reasons; a girl, who teaches her the ropes and helps her survive, as well as a few other characters they meet along the way.

Not Like You (The Simian Forest Saga: Vol. I)
"The rain grew colder, the canopy enamoured and blushing even deeper shades of auburn and gold. The tension was growing and the entirety of the large ape colony knew that it would snap at a moment's notice. They were all waiting-- waiting for something to crumble." Greed, tyranny, bloodlust, betrayal. Mankind has done nothing more than pollute and poison what is rightfully ours. After an entire reset of the food chain, man has all but disappeared, all thanks to a human-made virus called the Simian Flu. Apes around the globe, in turn, have become advanced both cognitively and externally, adapting their own form of sign language, as well as learning to speak. The year is 2029. Krissa may very well be the only survivor. Will she manage to weather the trials and tribulations that come with living deep within the Oasis? Proud winner of the Trident AwardsComplete

Dust
All the earth is torn asunder. There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come. Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that. Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Conquer the Wasteland
*Prologue* To be entirely honest with you, I never really considered my future. It's not like I needed to...right? Why would you care about jobs and your educational success when you could be scavenging for food, perhaps? I mean what use is your academic future in the apocalypse? Dramatic right? As I sit here, writing this down, I feel a little pathetic. Although the chance that someone would read my story is incredibly low, I can't help but feel a small glimmer of hope that someone will find it. It would become an instant best-seller! Who wouldn't read the first-hand account of a zombie apocalypse survivor? Even if that day were to arrive, I can guarantee that I won't be alive to see it. The world is a complete and total mess and we are the only ones to blame. Why do you ask? Well, why don't we take a trip down memory lane? First, people alone destroyed the earth with pollution, making it the ultimate playground for the undead. Second, we created the virus that single-handedly destroyed 97% of the human population. Wonderful, is it not?Complete

Sanctuary
Sanctuary. That was what the quarantine dome was supposed to be, a place of refuge from the N-Gel and the deadly Neoplague they unleashed on the world. But we aren't safe here. Senna is uprooted from her rural life in the outer dome when her mother agrees to marry the President of Sanctuary. It was supposed to be a Cinderella story, but Senna can't stand the health and status obsessed city. Her only escape comes from repairing an antique piece of wireless tech, an endeavor that is seemingly hopeless due to the interference that reduced such tech useless after the invasion. Senna believes that if she can get the device to work, she can use it to contact the life she left behind. However, it isn't her old life she reaches when she gets the device to power on. Instead she catches the SOS of a little girl who claims to be held captive in the toxic world outside of the dome. The girl offers a reward for her rescue-the cure for the plague that forced humanity into quarantine and took Senna's father from her.
