This is the story of Lenore Auden and the madness she was plagued with. Her life was shattered when the dreaded Apocalypse began with the start of nuclear warfare. Her mother died by an airborne virus and her sister was murdered by infected wolves. Now, only Lenore and her father are left.  

When the Post-Apocalypse dawns, Lenore believes her life will change for the better. She believes the world can be rebuilt. But when she journeys into the woods, that belief is quickly extinguished by a mysterious stranger clothed in black. 

As Lenore and her father take up the quest to journey to a Safe Haven, Lenore finds herself haunted by the man in black. No matter what she does to escape him, he is always there, shrouded in shadow and hidden amongst dying trees. The undead, viruses, mutant wolves, and meteors only add to the trouble. 

Will Lenore reach the Save Haven unscathed? Or will the stranger in black drive her to insanity?

41 parts Complete Mature
I grew up safe, protected, adored, certain of the life that awaited me. A grand estate, a devoted father... a wedding to the perfect man. But the altar crumbled beneath me, my world ripped apart in a heartbeat. The silk turned to ruin, vows to ash, and in one heartbeat, everything I knew was gone. I find myself trapped in a fortress in the mountains, under the gaze of a man whose heart did not hesitate to shatter mine years ago.... Whose hands promise protection... and claim. He doesn't ask for my trust, he takes it, drags me into a world of lies, bold betrayals, and secrets I wasn't prepared to see. And the truth? I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems. And the man in the shadows... he is the storm I can't outrun. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

L.O.V.E. by denissebloom04
30 parts Complete
100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)

Adelaide never expected her arrival on Earth to trigger a national security crisis or worse, to fall for a human. General Dex Maddox knew he was in trouble the moment he saw her on surveillance. But nothing prepared him when humanity decides to play God with forces way beyond their understanding while Adelaide had to fix what is being broken. One stolen moment changes everything. One impossible choice destroys it all. Love and duty don't mix well when you're from different worlds, and Maddox's choice between orders and his heart will trigger a war that reshapes his entire civilisation. When love becomes betrayal and betrayal becomes war, some wounds never heal even for those who rule empires. Between duty, love, and trust - which one will they choose?
