Isaiah has felt ashamed and alone nearly all of his life. He earnestly wishes to break free from the chains that bind him: his tortured past, feeling unwanted and unwelcomed, an immensity of guilt, and the shadowy horrors of his own mind. Although those around him, his adoptive mother and war-torn comrades, wish to know Isaiah beyond and beneath his mask, he cannot even face the depths of himself for fear of the monster he believes waits there in the darkness. 

Upon This Waste is a historical fiction novel about Isaiah, a haunted youth facing the trenches and a prying companion in the final months of World War I. The narrative bounces back and forth between Europe's killing fields and his childhood on a Pacific Northwest Native American Reservation. There, Isaiah struggles to fit in with the tribe that has adopted him and refuses to reveal to them his mysterious past.All Rights Reserved

WAR [since when did war begin?] by GabrielleCarollo

In the year 2037, amidst a world engulfed in the flames of a devastating global conflict known as World War III, two inseparable friends, Elijah and Michael, find themselves thrust into the heart of chaos. Elijah, a resourceful engineer with a knack for survival, and Michael, a charismatic strategist skilled in diplomacy, navigate the brutal realities of war as they fight to protect everything they hold dear. As the conflict escalates, their bond is tested by the harsh demands of wartime loyalty and the moral complexities of their choices. From urban battlegrounds to clandestine operations behind enemy lines, they must evade capture, navigate shifting allegiances, and confront the true cost of their actions. Along the way, they encounter a diverse cast of characters - allies and adversaries alike - each with their own motives and stories shaped by the tumultuous landscape of a world at war. As Elijah and Michael struggle to navigate this dystopian future, their journey becomes a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unfathomable adversity. Can their friendship endure the crucible of global conflict? Can they find hope amid the ruins and forge a path to survival against all odds? Or will they face the same fate as other victims who weren't so fortunate. Just a warning, This story is fake. All of the characters mentioned are not real people. The situation is fictional. This is more than a tale of survival; it's a gripping narrative that explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the indomitable will to persevere, even when the world hangs in the balance.

THE HUNTRESS #1 [EB] by livelyredd

EVIL BLOOD TRILOGY - BOOK l "It's been a hundred years since the global blackout ravaged society as it was known. The origins are blurry, and evidence of what happened is scarce, so the rumors say. Nothing remains of what were once countries; evidence suggests that only states exist now. Some are still government-controlled. Others, like us, got rid of them. Our society is non-existent; there's no unity, only division. The Grand Alliances hold the greatest privileges, and the rest of us are like a piece of shit, although it's not that bad. For me, it's actually fucking great. Those Grand Alliances constantly fight for each other's lands. But here? Even Satan himself wouldn't come. Until today, October 25, 2121. The worst day of my life, without a doubt. I was born in a remote shelter in the northeast, and my whole life I've lived on the outskirts, far from the Grand Alliances. But after this tragic day, I'll become a part of one, my dream come true. Lastly, I guess I'll wish myself luck."

Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019] by amanda_denney_writes

It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).
