action angst apocalypse friendship genetics home humor live love near-future post-apocalyptic roadtrip sarcasm sci-fi survive teen-fiction teenager wattys2015

Riley just fell asleep in Calculus, and when she woke up, everyone was dead. 

They weren't killed off by zombies or even a nuke; like Riley, they fell asleep, except they never got around to the 'waking up' part.

She wasn't asking for the apocalypse to happen in her sleep, and she definitely wasn't asking to have some flawed gene that made her a prime target for a crazy extremist organization.  All she wanted was the impossible: for things to go back to the way they were.

But soon,  she finds herself on a daunting trek across the country with a bunch of people she barely knows, and her life gets even more complicated. 

Surviving. That should be Riley's top priority--her only priority. The problem is, sometimes she wonders if survival is really worth the cost, and she begins to realize that surviving and living are two very different things.All Rights Reserved

The Air Out Of [Wattys2018 shortlist] by sophvergeletti

*wattys 2018 shortlist* *writer's awards sci-fi winner* It all started with an accident. Through vast consolidation begets a single empire bordering on the mere idea of war with an enemy threatening to destroy its entire existence, starting from the inside. Many call it tyranny, others, vengeful menace, but it's taking them down. One by one. A series of events follow, including a spy, a plan destined to fail and a desperate offer that puts everything on the line. She wasn't what they were hoping for. But they take what they can get. Once rejected by the place they called home, five estranged teens jump at the opportunity for an escape. Thrust into an unknown underwater society at random, it's a gamble for life and death, win or lose. Fast forward to friendship, rivalry, loyalty, borderline sorcery, and a second home that'll change their lives as they know it. But as the days grow by, and the game of cat and mouse breaks its final straw, blending in a world not meant for them is not as easy as it seems. Especially when you try to save a colony whilst saving yourself. *this story is/will be rewriting.
