It's the year 2118 and the United States is falling apart. The third World War just started and there are hundreds of countries fighting over our once free land. Now we are forced into camps to help defend our weak country. The young and old are put to work to do anything from fix dangerous machines or wash clothes from the sick. It makes me mad to see that our ancestors left us in such a poor condition where almost everyone is now an orphan of some sort or on the bridge of death. Everyone is destined to end up in a camp at one time or another but they started at the mid-south of the United States so Texas was first and they continue out every day. Thousands of innocent people die each day due to the greediness of other countries. My whole family died in a bombing and I only survived because I was in, "Right place at the right time" people say, but I think just the opposite. Do you know how it feels to have no one there to say they love you each day? The United States is in a state of chaos and I can only hope to die suddenly so I don't have time to look at the past.

Hopeless Romance
My country, Alume, was once the wealthiest in the world. It was also the greediest. We borrowed money from another rich and powerful country, Rache. We bought everything from them because it was cheaper and we could get more. We ignored that our money was fueling their army that soon dwarfed our own. We ignored their human rights violations. Then, they demanded we repay all of our loans immediately or they would attack. We couldn't repay them. All of our factories had closed and were demolished because we bought everything from over seas. We couldn't make weapons or vehicles. We even depended on them for food. We lost the war. The enemy is everywhere now, watching, even in my house. I can’t leave my house, go to school, even my texts are monitored. Great time to fall in love, right? Hopeless? Probably. But, I don’t care.Complete
Five (Countdown Book 2)
It's my thirteenth birthday. And though most people look forward to their birthday, I was dreading it. I am now the Five, which means I have as many years until I die, and it's down to me to figure out how to save myself and my friends. But we have bigger problems right now. The new Six has run away. With dozens of Government Hunters stalking around, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that she's in danger. Things go from bad to worse when a Government leak starts feeding our details and information about our powers to near enough anyone, for the right price. So it's down to me, my four closest friends and our teacher to find the Six and bring her home safely before she gets caught. The clock is ticking...Complete
Project: Solanum
History called it the Great Hysteria. The Solanum strain of SARS-CoV-2 didn't just sicken the world; it fractured its mind. While most suffered a severe respiratory illness, a small percentage were afflicted with a terrifying neurological degradation: violent aggression, followed by a vacant, catatonic state. Society's fear, once directed at a virus, was now aimed at the infected-the confused, the aggressive, the lost souls shambling through silent cities. We didn't collapse from the plague, but from the terror of each other. A millennium later, in 3035, the scars of that panic are etched into our DNA. But now, we have a key to undo it. Project: Solanum is not a mission of prevention, but of redemption. Our team will travel back to the pandemic's peak, armed with "Aetheris," a miraculous mRNA vaccine that can be delivered directly to the bloodstream. It doesn't just create immunity; it hunts the Solanum virus in the brain, reversing the neurological damage and pulling the infected back from the brink. Our mission is simple: cure the past to save the future. But how do you heal a world that has already learned to fear its own? The real virus we must fight may not be Solanum, but the primal panic it unleashed.
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
TerraSync
A wormhole had appeared near our solar system. From it came a signal - strong, deliberate, and unnerving. It was unlike anything humanity had encountered. Governments around the world watched in alarm. Scientists from every continent raced to decode the message, working day and night. Satellites scanned the sky. Observatories analysed every particle. Entire nations held their breath. Weeks passed in tense anticipation. Finally, the signal was broken. And what it said chilled every soul who read it: "Attack. Attack. Attack..." Panic spread like wildfire across every continent. Governments around the world tightened their armies. Citizens lived in constant fear. In the United States, the government refused to sit idle. They form an alliance with Ryze Corporation to develop a solution - a weapon unlike any before. A biotechnological weapon capable of granting humans chance to against something that they barely understood. The project was classified, secret, and urgent. Scientists worked around the clock. Failures were common, and risks were deadly. Yet, hope persisted. And thus, in the shadow of panic and fear, the TerraSync Project was born - humanity's first true line of defence against a universe that had just declared war.
TrUtHfUlLy, HoRrIbLy LoSt (Abandoned)
It's been only a couple years since 'they' have come and the Human population has decreased at a rapid speed where most of 'them' are now in the head. In 2045, I joined the Black Dawn with a boy named Zen. He was kind and sweet to me-but he also has a dark side to him. One that could kill me and everyone else in the Black Dawn. I knew he didn't mean to have the dark side but it was the only way to make sure he stays alive. Anyway, the Black Dawn is a place to protect Humans from 'them' and now it's the opposite. It's a place where secrets are kept hidden and betrayals are just around the corner. Plus 'they' are knocking on the wall that surrounds us to let 'them' in and someone may open the door to our doom.Complete
