apocalypse apocalyptic emp end fiction romantic shtf suspense world

How long would you survive?
 
Gemma thought she'd seen the last of Christopher Daley. She was wrong. When she ends up trapped in the city after an event that devastates society, Gemma has to trust the man who broke her heart as they set out on the long journey back home in a world that will never be the same again.

GEMMA: before her best friend died, Gemma made her a promise. Gemma leaves four-year-old CJ with his grandmother and catches the train to a law firm in the city to fulfil it.
 
CHRISTOPHER: scarred by a disastrous marriage, and the secret weighing him down, Christopher steers clear of women looking for a commitment. Then Gemma turns up at his office, and drops a bombshell that will have him questioning everything he believed.

They have no idea what is about to happen ...

THE PULSE: while Gemma is still in Christopher's office, the country is devastated by an event that wipes out electricity, communication, and most forms of transport. By the end of the night, the city is in chaos.

THE JOURNEY: Over three hundred miles from home, Gemma's only concern is getting back to young CJ, and his grandmother.
 
Christopher is worried about his own family, and there was no way in good conscience he could let Gemma travel so far alone in a world that had suddenly changed. 

Together they set out for home, terrified of what the future holds.

Zombies Happened by Cinttie

Stacy always knew a zombie apocalypse was coming-it wasn't a matter of if, but when. While everyone else laughed at her, she spent her life getting ready for the day the world would fall apart. Now that chaos has hit and society is crumbling, the very people who called her crazy are begging for her help. But can she forgive them, or will she let them face the nightmare they never saw coming? Things get even more complicated when she's forced to team up with the most infuriating guy she's ever met. Will he break through her walls, or will she push him away like she's done with everyone else? In a world where trust can be a matter of life or death, Stacy has to decide if she's willing to let anyone get close-or if she'll go it alone, no matter the cost.

Countdown to Doom by rogar0X

In forty-five days, a disaster will strike the Earth and wipe out civilization. The cities will burn, the governments will collapse, and humanity will be brought to the brink of extinction. Out of the panic, an unthinkable menace arises-one that may kill all hope. Within this turmoil, Anthony hides a profound crisis behind his perfect facade, while Alma carries a heavy family secret. Faced with the fear that was taking over society and the break-up of alliances, both were thrown in front of the ruins of their world, where the lives they knew had shattered. From survival to sacrifice, "Countdown to Doom" places you in a world where such a question must be asked: just how far would you go when the end is inevitable to save what's left and protect those you love?

The Subway (Now Available on Amazon!) (Unedited Version on Wattpad) by Jae-Jae

~ AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/164434193X ~ She hated riding the subway. It was cramped, smelled, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable to sit on for hours on end. Now add a group of crazy mask-wearing, weapon-wielding, maniacs to the ever growing list of reasons why Gemma hated riding the subway. Gemma Conners is your average eighteen year old and for the past two years she's been riding the subway to and from school with no problem. She always expected the same ol' same ol'. Cramped spaces, hard seats, and perverts staring her up and down and "accidentally" bumping into her and blaming it on the train as it jostled people into one another. Never did she expect a group of masked men to rush in and hold everyone onboard hostage, demanding that they all play along with their sick and twisted idea of a "game". It was either that or die. To add on to her ever growing list of problems, one of the passengers onboard just so happens to be Archer Daniels, your typical high school "heartthrob" and Gemma's classmate. Her day just kept getting better and better. With Gemma's luck, she'd be lucky if she lasted five minutes. Yep. She really hated the subway. *Book Cover Credit: Irah Marie* Thanks again for making such an AMAZING cover!❤️
