Camp Rosenberg is a peaceful summer camp. It's busy, with lots of campers and college-aged counsellors just trying to earn money for their futures. Dawn Quinn is a struggling girl in college, just barely getting by with drinking her paint water and searching for change in the couch cushions. She's an art student, as well as a hopeless romantic, and everything in between. The zombie apocalypse is the furthest thing from Dawn's mind as she pulls into the bustling parking lot of Camp Rosenberg. That seemingly is what Dawn gets during the hot and humid Nebraska summer. What she desperately wants, though, is love. Love is messy, loud, terrifying, and sometimes fatal. Those descriptors also fit the rotting, rancid decedents that rise from their graves to terrorize and feast on the living that continue to inhabit the earth. Now, Dawn's biggest pet-peeve used to be children; they stank, ran around aimlessly, got needlessly injured, creeped the hell out of anyone in their path, and kept you up at night with their incessant noises. It turns out that the dead are the same way, except they're way more deadly than a ten-year-old with three teeth missing. The transition from living a painful, yet somewhat comfortable college life to constantly running and fighting to see the sun daily is a difficult one. However, Dawn and her close-knit group are adjusting. Of course, there will be a few hiccups along the way, but eventually, everything will clear up, and they'd live like they used to, right? - Story by admin Toby. This is a story I made a couple of years back on a different account. Recently I read it and realized how... awful it really was, so I'm coming back here in hopes of renewing it into something that I can be proud of. Please be patient, leave some feedback, and enjoy :)!

*COMPLETED* When Rosie turned thirty-one with nothing to show for it, she panicked. Suddenly it felt like her biological clock was ticking, but she didn't want to settle for a man for the sake of having a child. So, after falling down a rabbit hole of research online, she decided to find herself a sperm donor. A strangely vague profile ends up catching her interest. The only real thing she learned about him was that his name was Levi and he was in the military. One invasive and intimate procedure later, Lily was conceived. It was a few months after her daughter was born, when Rosie should have been fretting about the price of nappies and lack of sleep, her worries were overshadowed by an event she never, ever could have predicted: a zombie outbreak. Rosie locked herself away in Finches tower block, stocked up on supplies from abandoned neighbouring flats, and lived every day with the sole purpose of keeping her daughter alive. Doing so meant avoiding the dead as well as the living. She'd been doing a decent job of it so far. Until a man breaks into the tower block, but it wasn't just any man. It was Levi, Lily's literal sperm donor. And he was there to save them. -- When a bioweapon was released on UK soil, Staff Sergeant Levi James Brackley was sent from pillar to post in an attempt to help neutralise and contain. Once it was clear neither was possible the last resort was to form a safe zone on the Isle of Wight. Levi decided to stay behind. The last evac chopper left without him on board. He knew it was a shot in the dark, that they were probably dead already, but he had to try. Without knowing it, they'd become a beacon of light during the darkest time of his life. Now it was his turn to be there's.
