April leads a relatively normal life, she differs from a lot of teenagers her age, but she's still relatively normal... or at least as normal as you can be in this day and age.

It's been hard for her to make friends for as long as she could remember, oddly she feels she leads a double life.. she's extremely outgoing and friendly, to others she looks like she's living a teenage fantasy of being popular, beautiful, and wanted... when in reality she can't seem to get close to anyone and feels painstakingly lonely and misunderstood.

They don't see the overwhelming heartbreak and frustration weighing on her shoulders. She doesn't understand others just lack in depth and brilliance. She understands her peers in another manner alien to others, and they don't understand her seemingly alien manner.

Like sheep lead to slaughter, they die when faced with a terrifying new reality.

Her differing brilliance allows her to survive in the new world full of death and misery... but will survival be worth it, if the one thing she has always wanted will now be unreachable?


"Seth... what are you doing?" April breathes out huskily.

"This." He whispers as he leans in.






*This will have mature scenes and will be controversial. It's got gore and zombies too. If you're prone to being easily triggered, I advise you do not read. Read at your own peril. ;D*

21 parts Complete Mature
Blood? My wrist was covered in it. It wasn't dried up or reeked of the combination of that black gunk from all those other freaks. It was fresh and warm too. Where was it coming from? I checked my body. My t-shirt was splattered in everyone else's blood but my own. Turning over my hand, my eyes lowered to where Ray was holding onto me. I gasped and released him, covering my mouth to stop from screaming. "Holy shit dude! What happened to your-?!" Tears were forming in his eyes but he looked down and hid his hand from me. "Please d-don't worry about it. Let's just go find a real hospital already." He said while shaking. "I...I don't want to think about it right now O-okay? It's no big deal..It's just...it's a finger..." My mind went blank. I pulled him into a tight hug. I wanted to do nothing much but to cry right now. I got him into this mess. This was all my fault. If only we would have just stayed at home that night. I didn't have to go to that stupid concert... After watching fans rip each other apart during one of her concerts, Sasha Brown's main goal was to keep her brother safe from whatever the hell broke loose in Jackson, Tennessee. Expecting the police to take care of it, she soon realize it wasn't blowing over anytime soon, especially with the growing number of rabid monsters running around, the living dead, and crazy psycho cults forming. One night brought an unfamiliar deadly world for both Sasha and her brother Raymond, and both are willing to fight it out to survive it.

**This is a spin-off of my book Zero. Some of the characters will be the same, but this book can be read as a stand alone.** Everyone has made mistakes before, but not everyone has made mistakes that induce the zombie apocalypse. Ella Fairchild is one of unlucky few who can say she's made such a mistake. She didn't know what she was doing. She thought she was doing good for the world. She was wrong. But to her, none of that matters. As the last living person who contributed to the creation of H-26, more commonly known as the zombie virus, Ella shoulders the weight of the world for her mistakes. Nearly a year after the outbreak, Ella has a chance to try to right her wrongs. She hasn't been outside the walls of the safe establishment since the virus spread. Now, inexperienced, weak, and scared out of her mind, she'll do whatever it takes for a chance at stopping the virus. But she's not foolish, Ella knows she can't do this alone. Kyle Russell is a certified bad ass, an ex-Army Ranger come out of retirement to save the world from zombies. He's sinfully good looking, a little rough around the edges, and doesn't sugarcoat anything, but he's the guy you want on your team. He and his team of runners haven't failed a mission yet. Amongst their own, and even civilians, they're rock stars. They're the people who give everyone hope that a war against zombies that can be won. They're the exact opposite of Ella. They're the best, and if Ella is going to succeed, she needs the best. **This is a spin-off of Zero and will feature some of the same characters. However, it can be read as a standalone.

[New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was.

The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness.

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.) Banner credit to @itsnothardtodreamx 1st Place winner in the 2020 Spring Awards! Runner up in the 2020 Harmony Awards! 2nd place in the Belle Amé Awards 2020! [This piece was originally for the Open Novella Contest 2020, but has now surpassed the length of a novella and is a novel.]

BOOK ONE S1-S3 In this new world, you have to make difficult choices. Fight for survival or succumb to circumstance. Close yourself off or give into your desires. Start over or give up. A split second decision can change your entire life. Will she fight to survive or fight to live? Drisson /dree-sawn/ an unexpected twinge of attraction for a friend; a flutter of desire that seemingly came out of nowhere, but makes perfect sense in a twisted way that as fleeting as the moment was, you know it changes everything, leaving you in fear of what happens next --- This is my first story that I will be uploading. I'm going to stay true to the characters, but I will also be including some original ideas. The will be some changes to the storyline, whether that be minor or major. For the most part, I will stick to the plot line written by the creators of TWD. The first few chapters will be longer than the others. I wanted to be able to really make sure to give the characters their time. I do not own/have any rights to TWD or the characters, dialog, scenes, etc. *DarylDixon x OC ENJOY!!
