The Immunity
The world in 2102 is basically chaos, most continents have been obliterated - the upper half of North America, all of Asia, Europe, Australia, South America, and Africa. The United States and Mexico remain untouched, but the threat is closing in on them. The threat is RD15, a disease that starts on your insides and rots your body till you die. It was mutated by rats, taken by mosquitos, who then gave it to humans, who started giving it to each other. Not one person has ever survived the disease - well as far as records go. Phoebe Johnson lives in Northern New Hampshire, dangerously close to Canada where the disease is closing in on the United States. The people around her are frightened, knowing they are all going to die once RD15 reaches the U.S. Except, as always, the United States of America decides to take matters into their own hands and leaves Phoebe in even greater peril than before.Complete
The Gifted
A virus is was what caused our world to break, what caused the good to become the bad. Kids were being hunted down and captured for this gift that was given to them by that virus. It's been seven years. Parents tried to hide them, but they got killed and took the gifted. No child was safe, from five year olds to basically eighteen. It's the apocalypse for us. You can't trust adults. We don't know why they want from us, but I'm willing to do anything to protect my her. Some gifts are stronger than others, some are weaker than others, some are out of their own control. We don't know why the military wants us but, their not getting us. I'll avenge my mom and dad, they'll rest in peace. I'll protect anyone that needs protecting, I'll avenge every live that was lost.Complete
Ashes of the Living
**The year is 2036.** After a bioengineered parasitic fungus - *Cordy-13* - mutated and spread beyond control, the United States collapsed. Within three months, 80% of the population was dead or "reanimated." Power grids fell, cities emptied, and survivors now live in scattered settlements or wander the ruins. **Evelyn "Eve" Carter (29)** Former EMT from Denver, 5'7", athletic, green-eyed, scar on her left cheek. Compassionate but hardened, Eve carries deep survivor's guilt. When the outbreak hit Denver General, she fought to save patients until the hospital fell. Her younger brother, Miles (16), vanished that night. Haunted yet driven, Eve searches the Midwest believing he's still alive - a mission that keeps her from collapsing under the weight of her past. **Logan Brooks (35)** Ex-Army Staff Sergeant, 75th Ranger Regiment. 6'1", broad-shouldered, dark hair, beard, and old military tattoos. Stoic and tactical, Logan hides a broken heart - his daughter, Abigail (9), was lost when Atlanta burned. After refusing to follow orders to bomb infected zones, he deserted, vowing never to serve blind authority again. Now, he fights to protect those beside him, seeking redemption one battle at a time. **Marcus "Red" Hensley (23)** A wiry mechanic and survivalist from Tulsa with messy red hair, freckles, and a worn leather jacket. Before the fall, he ran a YouTube channel on survival hacks; after the collapse, he scavenged junkyards and lived off the land. Beneath his cocky humor lies loneliness and fear. When he met Eve in a crumbling Kansas City safe zone, they formed an uneasy alliance. Red wants to prove he's more than lucky - that he can make a difference in a dying world. Together, Eve, Logan, and Red navigate the ruins of a fallen America - bound by loss, survival, and the fragile hope that something human still endures. This is my first time ever writing anything so sorry if the ending is lacklusture :(Complete

Jake Sanders: Operation Komodo Dragon
In theory, the number 13 is unlucky to many cultures. It produces fear, dread and horror. Such as Apollo 13, Friday the 13th, and the initial discarding of floor 13. But for Jake Sanders, it started a whole new career that he might've never discovered. And along that adventurous career, there is also danger. Lots. The danger of the mysterious unlucky number, the number 13.Complete
Chasing the Ember:Echoes of the Void
--- CHASING THE EMBER: ECHOES OF THE VOID In the end, it wasn't strength that saved them. It was the refusal to break. --- WORLDVIEW SUMMARY The Setting: A Dying Earth and the Last Ark Earth is uninhabitable. Scarred by war, disease, and climate collapse, the planet no longer supports life. The Emberwake Ark is humanity's final escape: a city-sized spacecraft holding 65,000 of Earth's last survivors, adrift in the void. No weapons. No military. Just thinkers, engineers, broken families, scavengers, and those who paid, tricked, or clawed their way aboard. Supplies are critically low. Food, oxygen, water, and mental stability are all degrading. No one's unscarred - some physically, others emotionally - except one man who's held together by a very thin, but unbroken, thread. --- The Universe: Cosmic Terror Meets Myth-Made-Flesh Space is not silent. It is alive with ancient, unknowable forces. Humanity begins to discover that myths weren't stories. They were warnings. Earth's ancient pantheons-Greek, Norse, Aztec, Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese-are distorted reflections of real cosmic beings. Entities that live between stars. These include: Jörmungandr - A space-leviathan that coils around dead stars. Apep's Spawn - Shadow-born creatures that eat dreams and time. Fenrir-class Entities - Beasts that hunt on instinct and collapse reality around them. Watchers - Beings that only observe. Their gaze erases people from memory and time. The Sun-Eater - An endless void that mimics stars and consumes anything seeking warmth. Quetzacryon - A radiant, godlike being that gives paradise... before incinerating all who submit to it. These aren't gods. They are forces. Intelligent, instinctive, and indifferent. Time loops, parallel realities, psychological traps, shifting laws of physics - the universe itself resists comprehension. ---Complete
Scales of Reality
When two rebellious teens, Alex and Riley, stumble across a strange iridescent drug labeled "Eclipse" at an underground party, they think they're just chasing the next high. But one dose hurls them into an alternate version of Earth-one cloaked in shadows and ruled by cold-blooded reptilian overlords. In this hidden dimension, humans live unaware that their world is a puppet show, controlled from the shadows by an ancient species of shapeshifting reptilians. As Alex and Riley navigate this sinister mirror world-where cities shimmer with alien tech, and reptilian enforcers stalk them at every turn-they uncover a horrifying truth: the drug wasn't an accident. It was a test. And now they're marked as threats to the overlords' dominion over both worlds. Hunted, outnumbered, and unsure who to trust, the teens must unravel the secret behind "Eclipse," expose the truth to humanity, and ignite a rebellion-before they're silenced forever. Think: Stranger Things meets The Matrix, with a dystopian conspiracy twist.Complete
