---BEWARE OF THE DEAD AHEAD---

Step into the bloodied, dirt flecked boots of presumably the last active Sheriff of America, Bill Clark, as he tries to put the law back into a country tainted by banditry, and ruined by a pandemic that turns what once people in horrendous flesh-eating green-skinned mutants.

A fucked-up world such as this, where your old life is gone, never to return again, even if things go back to normal, can change a person, but no one ever thought that a person can change a fucked-up world.

"We make the world what it is by what we do," are the words he chose to live by. Join him in his mission to band together groups of survivors, reunite a broken country, and create a new world from the ashes of the old. Only needing his trusty rifle, an M60 machine gun, a journal that he intends to turn into a survival guide, and a bus. 

While the word "Sheriff" means nothing anymore at this day and age, his badge, and the responsibility that rests upon it definitely still carries on. No matter how many he had lost, friends, family, loved ones, what's more important is to change the world for the better, so that future generations can still live on, and prove that humanity will triumph over every trials that's been thrown at them.

The world can recover, and become better than it was before, thanks to people like Sheriff Bill, who will do what it takes for that wishful thinking to come alive, even if it means sacrificing one's morals and humanity. 

"So burn us in the furnace, let our souls ignite the flames, use our bones to stoke the embers, use our blood to oil the chains. We're nothing more but engines, rending flesh to find a way, and as we fall, we know we die to light a brighter day."

It's time for the Sheriff to bring back the law to this lost world. Pray the future that they're building will be worth its weight in lives.

The Lost and the Dead Book 1: The Uprising by BountyHunterVick1230
29 parts Complete Mature
It has been many years since mankind has seen the horrors that was the Uprising: an unforeseen event which has caused mankind's demise, as the unknown virus spreads like a wildfire all throughout the globe while humanity turns on itself in order to survive, leaving those unlucky face-to-face with the virus to turn into ravenous, cannibalistic zombies. In the old ruins of North America, it has turned into a lawless land where the zombies prey on the weak with the thugs and criminals lurking around the corners to pick off what remains. However, through the hellfires of the apocalypse, a legend was born out from redemption, revenge and determination; a bounty hunter named Hunter Vick. Join him on his journey as he travels through the vast wastelands in order to stop a civil war between his two biggest clients, uncover the secrets of a hidden faction which threatens to destroy everything, and overcome a personal obstacle which has haunted him for years. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Hunter is the lone ranger, the only one that could possibly save everyone from their eventual demise if nothing changes. He will have to overcome some of the greatest obstacles in his life from mutations to Hunter killers to morale questionings. Can Hunter muster the strength required to save everyone, or will he fall like the billions of other survivors before him? He doesn't have much time, his sanity is running out, and his will to live will be put to the ultimate test in what it truly means to live up to your fate and destiny. But it doesn't really matter now, because in this cruel, twisted world, there are two types of people: the ones who are lost, and the ones who are dead.
To Be A Warrior by GravityWillFall01
76 parts Complete
Book 7 in the To Be A Runner series New allies, V-Type zombies, rising anarchists, and a country that can't seem to find stable ground. Yep, that seems about right. It's been six weeks since Sigrid was taken down, and in those times, things have gone to chaos. A power vacuum has been created, and people are desperate to find a way to keep everything from falling apart. The cure has been created, but V-Types, the unkillable zombies, still pose a threat. We aren't even sure if the cure works on them. Unfortunately, they aren't even our worse problems. The Last Riders, a chaotic group that for a long while did nothing but cause petty chaos and take lives whenever they could, have suddenly turned darker. They did terrible things before, but with the country split and the late leader being reveled as the monster she was, they've decided there's nothing left to live for. They're determined to take us all down. That's where I come in. As I put more effort in finding a cure for my immortality, as well as keeping my children safe and happy (one child in particular), I also must work remember put the most important things first-which is getting through this second wave of the apocalypse. It's a good thing we have Colonel Sage and... Veronica to help us. The question is though, can Abel really trust them? It seems we don't have much choice in the matter, but I've learned to keep an eye on everyone. And I believe I need to look back at the Vikings, learn from them and what we have from the Edda to figure out how to stop these V-Type zombies. It's time to be a warrior. Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! Or any of its characters. I only own the characters I myself created. This is my Five's perspective of season 7 and what happened in between missions.
Mankind devoured - BOOK 1 by LoganDavies9
21 parts Complete Mature
Hello, Logan here. It is 2021, and this is the first book that I ever wrote. It's shit. I'm publishing it back on Wattpad again so my friend can read it. It is unedited and as I left it in 2017. I am currently published with three books out, and this is so funny to look back on. Enjoy reading my shittest work to date. Lots and lots of love, Logan Beadnell-Davies The overarching theme for this first book is a theme of rage and hatred. In the words of a great philosopher; there is no limit to the gruesome and grotesque things we are willing to do in the name of survival. While reading this; Remember that not everything is as it seems. Remember that loved characters will die. Remember that the world will gradually get worse as the parts go on. Take a moment to ask yourselves these questions: What would you do in the name of survival? Would you steal to survive? Would you kill to survive? Would you lose your mind to survive? If you lost your mind, do you think you'd kill more, steal, injure, backstab, rape or any other atrocity you can think of? If you can think of it, then maybe you would. The characters and situations in this book are very real, if gore or horrific mental images scare you, then I wouldn't recommend reading far. DESCRIPTION: The Infection claimed the lives of over 3 billion people before the TV's went off. But it would claim many more. The problem didn't arise when those people got up and started walking again, or even when they started eating and infecting others, it began when people got desperate. In this new world, the true evil that humans are capable of gradually becomes more apparent, and a part of everyday life. Normality doesn't exist, people don't help other people. Friends aren't a thing anymore. All anyone truly has is themselves, and the burdens they carry.

Craig of the Dead by Its_Me_Tweek_Tweak
47 parts Complete Mature
Hey, you! Yeah, you. Listen up, dude, because I don't have much time. Actually, I have a ton of time, I just don't feel like repeating myself. South Park is infested with zombies. Yeah, you heard me right. Shuffling around, undead, want to eat you zombies. I'm stuck as some kind of leader of a tiny crew of kids. I don't know what the hell I'm doing, but everyone else seems to think I do, so I guess we're going with that. In a few days the whole town went from being kinda nuts to completely chaotic. Why do people think I'm a good leader? Why'd all the adults leave? Where's literally half of my grade, they can't all be dead, can they? Why are we not allowed to leave South Park? Do they want us die? How long can we keep on living like this? Most importantly, why couldn't I have just gone with Tweek to the stupid bathroom? Now he's M.I.A. and it's my fault. Anyway, I hope maybe you can find some pleasure in reading this. I mean, I would probably get bored, but whatever floats your boat, dude. Gotta run. Clyde's throwing another fit because someone ate his Hot Pocket (Spoiler Alert, it was me). See ya later, stranger. -Craig **NOTE: the story is not written as journal entries by Craig, I just thought it would be a fun little bit to put as the hook. Apologies if it is misleading.** **ALSO NOTE: the mature content warning is for language, and language only. Well, and I suppose gore and violence, but that depends on what you define as gore and violence**

zombie apocalypse | the fallen (book One) [REWRITING]

34 parts Complete

Firstly, A trigger warning for mental health/ self inflicted wounds when reading. you're only 18 years old. your name is zoe. you always had a love for the apocalypse but didn't think it would truly happen. and you slowly learn that nobody is who they say they are. Nobody is to be trusted. Things are gonna fall apart, and nobody can save us now. This book is being rewritten again and hopefully is better than the first and second time it was published. It's kind of cringe most of the way. Wrote it when i was like 13-14 years old or something and tried rewriting when I was about 16. Didn't work. Trying to rewrite it again at 20 but i don't think the first two books are saveable. Book three so far however is going well(i believe anyway). The second book has also been rewritten and will be rewritten again. now I'm working on finishing book three. All characters are mine but ellis is not I will be changing a lot of character names again in this rewriting process in all books, ellis being the biggest.
