Horizons: A Collection of Short Stories
The horizon is basically defined as the junction between the heaven and the earth. A border that separates the celestial from the earthly. The line between the sky and the ground. The horizon shows us the different contrasts of life. The high and the low. The divine and the mortal. It shows the totality of life, which is not purely of spirit and of flesh but rather of both. Every short story written in this anthology expresses their own unique identity and flavour, showing the different tapestry of life. Just as how the horizons emphasise the contrasts of nature, this short story anthology tries to demonstrate the diversity not only of genre or setting, but of themes and aspects of human life. The contrasts of the personal and the political, of romance and friendship, of the sacred and the secular. Life is like a collection of short stories. Each page turns into a different dimension and a different setting. No two short stories, just like the real life they represent, are alike.Complete
HORIZON: Before Dawn
HORIZON depicts the story of when the sky met the ground: long ago, when the rabid apocalypse dawned, the wealthy escaped to a spacecraft orbiting Earth whilst the rest of the world stayed back and either lived, or they died. During their time in space, these wealthy people began to develop a settlement, and they were comfortable for decades. Unfortunately, their supplies grew limited, so they needed to find a way back down to Earth. Meanwhile, survivors of the apocalypse also grew. They created homes from devastated cities. Built villages in the forests to keep themselves safe. All while studying the rabid and how they would prevent the end of the world. Archer finds himself becoming involved in both stories, whilst following his own at the same time. HORIZON: Before Dawn focuses on the precursor to Archer's current situation; before he became Archer, and before the people in the sky crashed to the ground.Complete

𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐅𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 When a Navy SEAL mission in Iraq goes tragically wrong, Chief Sam Lawson is left shattered-his body broken, his future uncertain. Sent home with injuries no one expected him to survive, Sam is forced to face a new kind of war: recovery. At home, his wife Allie becomes the anchor to a life neither of them recognize. She's holding up a household, raising their daughter, and caring for the man she almost lost-physically, emotionally, and in every way that matters. Healing isn't neat. It's messy, brutal, and painfully slow. There are nightmares, hospital beds, slammed doors, and more than a few moments when love has to be louder than the fear. But there are also sidewalk chalk drawings, late-night kitchen dancing, and second chances whispered in the dark. This isn't a love story that ends with a goodbye kiss. It's one that begins when everything else falls apart-and they choose each other anyway. _______________________________________ This story is inspired by the real-life strength of Navy SEAL Joseph Hildebrand, whose journey shaped Sam's character in every way that counts. Allie and the children are based on people I've personally witnessed walking through fire and choosing love again. I do not own the rights to any characters from Warfare.

After the War's End
Aloy wakes up in Meridian alongside the Sun-King Avad, not knowing how her got there. Together, they will experience adventures and emotions that will form strong bonds between these characters. 🧭 This story takes place after Horizon Forbidden West, but before Burning Shores (I haven't played the DLC). It contains references to previous games and DLCs, so I recommend playing them beforehand. 🎮 The story is perfectly understandable without having completed them, but if you know the games, it will help you better understand the workings of this post-apocalyptic world. 🧠 I have focused on delving into the psychology and development of the characters based on what appears in the games and past experiences that have marked them in such a way that they lead to who they are currently, which I have elaborated to fit the context of these characters. ⚠️ Contains spoilers that could reveal important parts of the plot of said games. #66 of 13.6K on Postapocaliptic (27.10.2024) ⛔️ Copying, adapting, or translating this fanfic is prohibited.Complete![Horizon Zero Dawn: A Man Out of Time [OC X Aloy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/296593533-256-k583850.jpg)
