Opheila Finmore wakes up one unassuming morning. The clock reads 9:47 a.m. She's slept in and she's late for work. Panicking, she grabs her cell to check for the missed call from her ever scrutinizing boss, Dominic.
But there's no missed call. And her phone says it's Sunday. But that can't be right, can it? She'd fallen asleep Tuesday night and it can't be possible she'd slept through more than four days.
Ophelia attempts to wrap her head around it all. As she moves further into the day she realizes this is no phone glitch and she is not alone. The news reports are endless, social media goes insane with everyone sharing that they can't account for four days of their lives.
What's more is that things are very different and further mysterious events begin to plague the world. With the anomalies becoming more and more frequent, all major power players are now in a race to discover what's happening and how to stop it before the entire planet and it's 12 billion occupants are catapulted into the abyss.

Alex and Chloe aren't your average high school seniors. Brilliant, resourceful, and always questioning the world around them, they've spent their lives preparing for the future. But nothing could have prepared them for this. Lately, strange things have been happening-subtle at first, then impossible to ignore. The air feels different, people act strangely, and a sense of dread looms over them. They know something is wrong. They just don't know what. Then comes prom night. The one night meant to be perfect. Alex finally asks Chloe to go with him, and for a brief, shining moment, everything is as it should be. But just as the music swells and the night reaches its peak, the doors burst open... and the world as they know it ends. Zombies. Real, bloodthirsty, relentless. As chaos erupts, Alex and Chloe, along with their equally brilliant families, are forced into survival mode. But this isn't just about staying alive-it's about finding out why this is happening and if there's any way to stop it. Because if they can't, humanity doesn't stand a chance. The truth is out there. And it's more terrifying than they ever imagined.
White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔
❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

The Follower
Life has evolved and more technologies appeared. The internet is the main brain of these technologies, but that doesn't mean that it's safe. It is said that we are only using 10% to 15% of the entire internet, so where is the left of it that's the question. That's not the main point the point is how people could use the internet. Some could use it for social life, some could use it for doing research and some could use it to track you down and know every single move you do. They could hear everything, know your next destination. Maybe now you're being followed and tracked down by someone but you just don't know. Just as the characters in the story. The story is based on possible events that could occur in these days. Nobody knows what's out there on the internet, and what's in people's minds. Beware the internet, beware of the people around you, beware of the people you give trust to, beware of the mysterious follower that stalks you that is obsessed with you without you knowing. * Story chapters will be published one by one as a tv series to make the reading part easier and give more excitement to what's coming* Thanks for reading.Complete

With all the courage he can find, Nicolas slinks into the heart of his enemy, his lips weighed down by lies.

If his enemies find out his secret, he dies. If he doesn't pay close attention, he dies. If he doesn't succeed, everyone he loves dies. But, if it helps him save his family, perhaps evil in its purest form...isn't such a bad thing.Complete
