Okie's fifteen. She lives in New York. She's got a few problems: she's failing geography, her dad's a wimp, and her mother, Sumatra, is a stone cold bitch. But things get a lot worse when Sumatra turns into a zombie and eats Okie's dad.
Clio, Okie's grandmother, lives in Toronto; but since the zombie apocalypse, Toronto's a lot further away than it used to be. Clio suggests that Okie transport Sumatra across the border, because family is family. But coaching Okie by cellphone isn't easy, and Clio has some zombies of her own to contend with. Luckily she has some garden tools.
Naomi Alderman and Margaret Atwood team up for this unusual two-hander. Encompassing love, death, sex, and the meaning of family, The Happy Zombie Sunrise Home will surprise, delight, and convince you of the vital importance of keeping ready supplies of rhubarb and mini-wieners in your freezer at all times.
The story unfolds beginning October 24.

Life hasn't exactly gone according to plan for 26 year old Dawn. For starters, she always thought that she would have met the man of her dreams by now. But, if he's out there, she hasn't found him. Then there's the fact that she can't seem to find a job that doesn't involve hair nets, greasy food, or flimsy plastic bags. She's in debt up to her eyeballs and despite the promises of her college recruiter, no one is hiring. And that all adds up to her having to move back in with her mother, the woman whose favorite pastime is reminding her that her biological clock is ticking. But, that's not even the worst detail in the sad story that is Dawn's life. The worst part... ...Dawn is about to kick off the zombie apocalypse. If you have always wondered just how the undead got their beginnings, this is the story for you. Follow Dawn's decent into madness in this short story about the beginning of the end. PLEASE NOTE, this story is not related to The First 30 Days, and does not occur in the same universe.Complete![Close to my heart [Levi x Female Reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/401998912-256-k74848.jpg)

Nobody said being part of a military branch, the Survey Corps, which has the highest kill-rate among all those you could have chosen, would be the same that'd make your past resurface unbidden. Having run from your homeland into the dangerous embrace of armed forces was your only way to escape what previously seemed inescapable - being seen as nothing but a plaything for your family. Rape, loss of loved ones, alcoholics in the family beating you almost daily. Everything you swore to abandon you came back to you in the form of dreams. Defending humanity from its biggest threat, gigantic humanoid creatures which are called 'Titans' seemed like your only way out. Dying here wouldn't be here at the hands of those you had to call kin, at least. Training by oneself alone won't do the trick. So, the Commander assigned you his best soldier as your mentor. A grumpy, blunt, vulgar and aloof bastard with an affinity for cleaning and tea was the man who would watch over your every step in order to become one of humanity's most valuable soldiers. Yet, day by day, restless nights keep you awake. Trauma keeps you away from food you once could eat without a problem. And someone who shouldn't make it 𝘢𝘯𝘺 of his business. The 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 person who should 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦, began to visit you regularly at night, when sleep evaded you. Slowly, a professional boundary merged with unforeseen affection you've never been shown before. A romantic connection begins within barracks. Will you be able to defeat the ghosts of your past within a world that is bound by loss and death?

"𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝗼 𝐚𝗺 𝐈? 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝗼𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝗺?" In the depths of the underground was a girl. She was a experiment gone wrong some would say. She was once known as just a number. Another one of their experiments but the only thing different about her was she was the success. She had been turned into a 'weapon of battle'. Though no one knew her potential..... Yet. She was abandoned after the MP's caught her captors. She could barely talk, she couldn't read or write. Hell, she could barely understand what other people were saying to her. Levi and Farlan found her walking down the street one day. She was dirty, her hair was matted with blood and dirt. Two teenage boys were kicking her around like a doll. She didn't move or fight back she just sat there, numb to the pain. Levi took her in and taught her many things. One being love. Voilet evergarden inspired. Complete and rewritten as of 2023. Originally published as "Show Me How" and previously changed to "I Love You". This book has been edited but not significantly altered. I apologize if my grammar is not spot on, I wrote this in 2021 and pretty much just focused on formatting and editing spelling errors. #2 in Isabelmagnolia ~ 1/26/21 #1 in Isabelmagnolia ~ 2/4/21 #3 in Underground - 2/12/21 #2 in AOT - 4/14/21 #1 in Underground - 11/13/21Complete
Through Blood and Ash
Through Blood and Ash. What's left after everything burns? --------- They warned us. We didn't listen. Now the world is dead - and the dead are all that's left. The year is 6062, and humanity has collapsed under the weight of its own arrogance. A cure meant to save us twisted into something monstrous, turning loved ones into soulless predators with only one instinct: kill. Cara has lost everything - her family, her home, and the illusion that safety still exists. With a small band of survivors, she clings to life on the run, haunted by the screams of those she couldn't save... especially her brother. But when a desperate choice forces them back into the infected zones, Cara will have to decide what's worse: the monsters outside, or the guilt that's been tearing her apart from within. In a world where hope is dying and nightmares walk in daylight, survival comes at a cost - and not everyone is willing to pay it. -------------------------------- REWRITTEN I've gone back and rewritten this story from the ground up. As well as changed the name. The original had a strong foundation, but I knew there was more I could bring to it-more depth, more heart, and a better reading experience. I truly hope you enjoy this new version. And if you're returning from the original, thank you for sticking with me-I hope this one resonates with you just as much, if not more.Complete

Started~ Nov 12 2021 Finished~ Dystopia: an imagined state or society in which there is great suffering or injustice, typically one that is totalitarian or post-apocalyptic. "Do you love me, Cadet?" Why? That seemed to be a question you've been asking yourself a lot lately. Growing up in the underground was tough. You needed to fight for survival, food, money, and even-your freedom. Danny, you're despicable "father", had you stealing from him any chance he got. He was slick and manipulative. Having to steal valuables for him all while taking care of two kids, Kai and Mary, was really hard. The responsibility you held was weighing down on you, making you think more about them and less about you. You didn't mind though. Anything to stay away from the sinful place you call home. After a while of putting up with Danny though, you had you're last straw ripped away when he hurt you're beloved Mary. You ran away to start a new life, taking Mary with you. You become known as "Shade", a mysterious cloaked criminal known for your stealth and strength. You took pride in your reputation, and the best part was, nobody knew anything about you. From your face down to you're gender, it was all concealed. It was all cloaked. But all this changed once they found you. They took you in, capturing you to mold you into a soldier fighting for the survey corps. You despised the survey corps at first. After all, they stole you from your home. Took you away from the people you loved. They ruined your life, right? But... did they? You're stubbornness and skill capture the attention of a certain short black haired male. Corporal Levi was humanities strongest though, he couldn't like you, could he? He couldn't... At first it seemed strange but pleasant to finally get noticed, but soon you realized, nothing good came from the Corporal. In fact, your life seemed to turn into a living Dystopia.
