It's been 79 years since the disease that nearly killed off the human race attacked the world. Now living on 'The Island' is Talise, a young girl among the survivors of the human race. Talise has her world thrown upside down on the day her adult life is to begin.
In a place where being different and asking too many questions isn't an option, Talise finds herself in a predicament where she must fight to save her family, friends, and possibly everyone else on the Island.
Talise's life is constantly on the line as she learns some of the lies she's been fed since the beginning. But Talise wants to escape; to go outside. A place she didn't even think existed until her 18th birthday, due to the 80ft wall that keeps them all caged in.
Will her new love help her on this quest, or add to the risk? Everything is at stake for this young girl as she embarks on a dangerous mission she didn't sign up for, but can't back out of.

Along with the alien, a beacon was left on Earth which when activated, opens a portal through which the aliens will return. The extraterrestrials visit Earth to usurp Qi, Earth's vital energy.

Out Here, We Survive
Dr. Evelyn Harding never believed in miracles-just science and the hard truth that life is cruel. After years of surviving her powerful husband's abuse, she takes her daughter, Maddie, and disappears into the dense wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, praying the isolation will keep them safe. But just as she begins to hope for a new beginning, the world burns. Without warning, deadly machines fall from the sky, ruthless and unstoppable, slaughtering humanity without mercy. Civilization crumbles overnight. And Evelyn, a woman who spent her life saving others, is suddenly powerless to protect the one person who matters most. Then she meets Alex. Ex-military, fiercely capable, Alex is the kind of protector Evelyn never thought she'd need-but exactly the kind she can't afford to lose. Alongside Alex's family, they flee to a remote island, a desperate gamble for safety in a world that has none left. As danger closes in from every direction, Evelyn and Alex find themselves fighting side by side, relying on each other in ways neither expected. But survival isn't just about staying alive-it's about finding something worth living for. And out here, in the wilderness and the wreckage, love might be the last thing left standing.
-*| The Cursed World |*-
Just smile. Just smile, and forget it all. Just smile, and it won't hurt. *~* A world, full of hate. A world, full of racism. A world, full of sexism. This is the world Hebe lives in. This is the world Hebe has tried to make herself believe is full of good. Yet, every aspect of her life undermines this. Every day would show an outsider how twisted her world is. How cursed her world is. From family, to friends, to lovers, can she truly trust anyone? Any of them? From having grown up in a world so pressured down on one's gender and race, is there truly any hope for her? Is hiding from all of the pain; all of the abuse, really the only solution? Yes, that is the right answer. To build a wall up, to stay naive, and to hide from it all. That is her only way to stay joyful. That is her only way to remain... Sane. -- A/N: ⁃ Rated mature ⁃ Would not recommend for young children ⁃ Even though this book has been prewritten from only three months before now (May), my style of writing has changed and this version is a bit rusty ⁃ Updates every (*time*)Complete

Not The Last {Rough Draft}
~Thank you for the continued love for this series! I was 13 when I began this book, and am now taking the time to go back to completely rewrite it, and maybe just publish someday~ I'm 15 and my name is Astrix. Let's start with that. That seems like an easy thing to start with. Now, let me add in some other details. I live in a zombie apocalypse. Yeah, that's about as enjoyable as I can make it seem. Now let me add in something else. I'm wanted by the CIA for reasons that I don't even know, but I guess I will find out eventually. Maybe somewhere within my story I will figure it out. I'm well known as The Bad Ass for reasons that are kind of obvious once you meet me. Maybe that's why they're after me? Because I'm a Bad Ass? Nope, I doubt that. Well anyways, the answers are out there. Along with the answers to my past. The answer to life even. Maybe it really is 42 but I don't think it would hurt to start looking at one. So here we go. Chapter one. Book 1 *Being completely rewritten, final product will not be put on Wattpad, but hopefully go to print* **Highest Rating--#44 in Adventure**Complete

Snow
After an apocalyptic event that thrusts the world into a new ice age, Calestia - a 17-year-old girl with a strong will - must learn to survive on a land infested with gangs, guns, and distrust. ***** Nobody knows what day it is anymore. Nobody knows the month, the day of the week...and the only way to tell time is by the slight change in the color of the sky from grey to black every twenty-four hours. If a day even is twenty-four hours anymore. The planet is dead. The people are dead. Snow falls down upon piles of bodies like the ash of a volcanic eruption. Except, the snow doesn't stop. It never does. It continues to fall and fall until you wonder if it is even possible for another flake to come down and land silently in your hair. But it does. They do. There are few survivors of what the remaining have started to call the end of the world. The Apocalypse. Few who are still brave or scared of death enough to face the torture that is living. I am one of those survivors. Book One of the Snow Series Highest ranking: #3 in Sci-Fi Watty's ShortlistedComplete
