Four years is a long time
When the grocery store locks up for the night and is empty the next morning, your favorite fast food chain just randomly doesn't let you in anymore and you find yourself one of the few survivors left--confused, I might add--, your morals and ambitions alter.
Stay alive for four years and you're qualified to be in The Grande. That's what the torn posters on the ground always said, but like the rest of the world, Kerrigan thought it was from their past time and had died off.
Take a large, renovated, abandoned hotel, some raged, angry and excited survivors, and try to see if you're fit to take on the world as is.
How soon will the end come?

Barely Alive (#JustWriteIt #SuperCharged)
Travis, Darcie, Dawson, Tori, Leo, Levi, Kaylie, Hunter, and Anthony have no business knowing each other, let alone being a team. But during a zombie apocalypse, when you get desperate, you're desperate. When you're out of options, you need to do what you need to do to survive every day. Sometimes, it might not always be ideal. But when push comes to shove, when you're barely alive and should be dead, the people who you don't know may just save you. Surviving without enemies is hard enough. But when the past comes back to haunt and enemies come to fight, the apocalypse may just become almost impossible to survive. Brains and brawn may not be enough. It takes heart to make it day to day. They knew it would be hard. They didn't know it would be next to impossible to survive. This is a story my friend and I wrote together. It took us about a year to complete. Comments would be great to see so we know if something needs to be fixed or if it's a good story.Complete

The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

After the Ashes: Love Can't Save the World... But It Might Save Them.
When survival is law, trust is deadlier than bullets. The world died so did her faith in humanity. The people Whiskey trusted most put a knife in her back. Left for dead in a world that no longer has rules, she's learned the only way to survive: stay ruthless, stay unseen, and never-ever-trust again. While danger lurks in every shadow and betrayal waits around every corner, Whiskey isn't waiting to be saved- she's the one pulling the trigger. But when he returns-Scarred, dangerous, and dragging secrets that could rip apart what's left of her reality, he isn't just a reminder of the past- he's a walking weapon. One that could either help her survive the nightmare... or be the one to end her for good. And in a place where mercy is extinct and betrayal is currency, trusting him could be the deadliest mistake she ever makes. The line between salvation and destruction has never been thinner. This brutal, edge-of-your-seat post-apocalyptic thriller is perfect for fans of dystopian survival, betrayal-fueled suspense, and high-stakes action where trust can get you killed.
Cut
★★★★★ "right up there with Hunger Games" I've reached my expiration date. Not that it matters. We're all going to die. To sixteen-year-old Micka, all words have flavours. Her emotions come with such force that she can't help but carve them into her skin. The night she decides to kill herself, she meets Runner -- a mysterious stranger who makes her question everything she's learned about the end of the world. His message is terrifying: It wasn't some mysterious disease that killed ten billion people. We did this. Humanity sleepwalked into climate disaster and ecocide, just to butcher and rape until blood stained the seas. Micka is sure Runner is lying. Her instincts urge her to stay far away from him. But he makes her an offer she finds hard to resist. There are only two rules she must follow: Kill. Survive. Because the final wars were never meant to end. ________________ Available books in the 1/2986 Series: Book 1: CUT Book 2: FOG Book 3: ICE Book 4: VOW Audio books narrated by Emma Galvin (Divergent Trilogy, Touched, A Shade of Vampire) are available at Audible.Complete
