1980s a-ha acidrain aha climatechange fanfiction horror love maskedsinger mortenharket takeonme zombieapocalypse

What if all the trees were dying? And who would believe someone saying the rain will kill everything on the planet? 

Lab intern Amy Weston grew up in care and still attracts trouble wherever she goes. Professor Joel Harket (based on A-ha's MORTEN HARKET) is not a people person. He lost his mojo in lockdown when his wife left him and seeks escape in alcohol. But a toxic superstorm is coming, with the power to destroy buildings and infect all living things. Can the two scientists put their mutual hatred of each other aside to save the world before it is too late? They will only survive if they learn to trust and love each other.

From the UN Air Health summit in Beijing, the adventure continues to Whitehall, underground in the War Rooms, through the Mail Rail and to the Solent. Expect occasional scenes of a sexual nature, bad language, drug references and zombies. A lot of them!

(The character of Joel Harket is based on the lead singer of A-ha and The Masked Singer's 'Viking' - Morten Harket.)

****Hi guys, thanks for reading my first opening scenes of The Poison Balance. The advice is 'write what you want to read' and I really have. You may be wondering why it suddenly stops...I can confirm that I have signed with publishers Cranthorpe Millner and the novel in its entirety will be out in early 2024. I am thrilled to have the support and interest of all you - it means a lot. 
I have left the initial scenes as they are (although the final printed version may vary). If you want to read the whole thing, stay tuned, further details and updates will be shared here, on my blog lucyghose.wordpress.com and on my facebook page www.facebook.com/LucyGhose

The Virus Within (Original rough draft) by CrystalScherer

Back by popular request! The 2017 rough draft of The Virus Within! (Caution: Contains massive plotholes that were fixed in the polished The Virus Within Series. Grammar issues are present, particularly missing commas.) What do you do when you are one of the infected? The virus in my blood is trying to steal my humanity. It alters my very thoughts and reactions. It taunts me by tempting me with desires that it planted in my brain. These bloodthirsty desires would lead to my demise if I ever gave in. I have more in common with the zombies than with humans at this point. Even the fallen zombies accept me as one of their own. Blood is required to retain my grip on sanity, but the sweet-smelling blood from humans is a short path to madness. Human blood is to be avoided at all costs. Humankind around the world was driven close to extinction by the sudden appearance of the zombies, yet small groups of survivors constantly manage to appear and put my control to the test. -------------------------- This is a standalone zombie book. It has nothing to do with A Different Virus. I wanted to try a book with an easily irritated main character and a nutcase secondary character. This book has a slightly darker outlook at the beginning than my usual stories, but it has some humor further along. Definitely not a horror story, although it has its share of action. 4 updates a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday! Copyright April 2017. All Rights Reserved.

Infected Life: Outbreak by NAB101

***WARNING: triggers for use of violence, verbal abuse, physical abuse, and inappropriate language. If any of the before mentioned triggers engage you, please proceed with caution. Please refrain from inappropriate comments. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy.*** -NAB The year is 2027. Prices of everyday necessities, from food to gas, from toilet paper to healthcare, have more than doubled. The global population now peaking near 8.5 billion. It was now considered a virtue to be hospitalized, so long as you could pay the lifelong medication payments and stay sick. Just as it seemed society was ready to kick the bucket, something viral and deadly beat it to the punch. As the people he knew turned into sick, plagued creatures of death and his world crumbles down around him, Jacob Mason must leave his life as a quiet, middle school student behind and forge ahead a new life to protect the people he loves. But this is all just the beginning of a brand new, blood splattered life for him.

HFJONE starvation AU by Airy45

Will they win, or will their hunger take over? 18 objects. 12 stomachs to feed. 1 "prize." No food. Many characters from ONE including favorites such as Liam, Bryce, and Amelia fight to survive in a competition created by Airy, a competition that contains no food, a competition that forces them to commit to the lifestyle of something they never wanted to be. The question is... Will they win? Or will their hunger take over? COMIC EDITION: The comic is written and drawn on Webtoon, and here too! :) CONFIRMATION: One but I add hunger and also more injures. Also perma-death after a certain point. perma-death means that they can still use the radio but airy cannot respawn anybody. To explain how each batch gets hungry: Batch 3 does not need to eat, batch 2 needs to eat only once every- like- 3 months, batch 1 needs to eat like a human does. FORMATION OF THE IDEA: I was talking about ONE to someone when I realized, do they have to eat in ONE? There are scenes where Liam is eating breakfast and Charlotte is cutting carrots but it's never said if they NEED to eat. They're seen on the plane without any food for over seven months. So I got the brilliant idea to make them get hungry and likely have some characters resort to other sources of food! This is where that one question came from on this quiz that I made: https://uquiz.com/quiz/9bsREU/what-hfjone-character-are-you-most-like-not-accurate WARNINGS: hfjone spoilers, starvation, cannibalism, blood, gore, vomiting, death, infections, poison, hallucinations, memory loss, one-sided relationships, derealisation, hanging, knives, su!c!d3, depression, mild language (Most of the bloody and gory stuff is explained in great detail, oops) And I now realize that most people cannot read my story becuase of the warnings, sorry about that!

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed.
