(Scarecrows of Coldharbour Farm #2)
New chapters EVERY Friday.

The world has changed. Again. When the viscous tides washed away, they left nothing but dust, and desperation...and a glimmer of hope.

Keen engineer Pepper, and her moody brother Fisk, have carved out a life in the township of Hope's Ruin, where humans and reanimates live side by side. Pepper spends her free time attempting to restore Flake 99 - the remains of a robot she found in The Great Wastes. But as food and water become tightly rationed, and new souls arrive every day, hostilities between the two races look set to ignite. Pepper and Fisk must decide if they want to stay in war-torn Hope's Ruin, or risk the perilous journey to find Flake 99's original owner...at Coldharbour Farm.

When humans and reanimates fight for supremacy, the dead will rise.

Set after Greed (fma) rescued the chimeras from the labs. The band of misfits have settled down in the Devil's Nest after an explosive exchange near the train yard. Everyone seems to be doing fine. But for the young snow leopard chimera, old wounds have been scraped and threaten to bleed out, destroying his sanity. Is he alone, or will the boss be able to say the right thing? For once? Dolchetto is worried. His boss isn't known to be great with kids. Kota deals with the doubts of being in existence. Something each chimera has had to deal with but ignored. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sequel: 15 years Later (Male reader x Greed and the chimeras) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Male OC is NOT PAIRED with anyone because the world needs more family/friends fanfics other than the paired ones. Plus, a slight hinted Martel x Dolchetto/Dorchet in the background Also! Kota's actually in his 20's, but has lost track of his age, so everyone assumes he's an adolescent because he has not aged physically from his lanky, no-beard self. WARNING! implied deaths, explosions, slight PTSD, self-depreciation and definitely hyperventilation. If sensitive, please do not force yourselves to read. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Criticism and corrections are loved and appreciated beyond words. But if you find the need to swear, please try to censor most of it.

[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and you can wake them if you say their name again. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. Nicknames become real names, and Meg knows she's getting better at identifying safe houses. Her crush discovers that Morse code, like writing, is a safe way to say a Sleeper's name. It's the night after learning it that Meg wakes up just as the nightly rain is starting. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."
