The beginning of the end...
Ten years after a nuclear explosion obliterates the world they once knew, a groups of survivors fight to establish a new life.
What they don't know is that hiding in the shadows are 'walkers' - creatures that have been slowly growing in numbers, and strength from the fallout of the explosion.
There are two rules for surviving the post-apocalyptic world:
Rule number one: Always go for the head.
Rule number two: Never look back.
But when a blast-from-the-past causes them to watch over their shoulders, they realise they may be in more danger than they anticipated.
So what happens when you mix danger with destruction?
You get a Halo.

This New World We Live In (A Walking Dead fanfic)
I ran as fast as my feet would carry me. My lungs gasped for oxygen. I knew I had to stop, but he could still be following me. I pushed myself harder. I needed to get away, far away. From him. From this. I remember I just woke up one day, and went to work as usual. I drove my squad car around town on patrol, but I saw bodies. Bodies everywhere. They were dead bodies, but they weren't still on the ground. They were walking around. As if they had re-animated. I shook away the memories from the day it started all those weeks ago and focused on my running. It was almost sunrise and I figured I could stop soon. As soon as I knew I was safe. But I know now that I had fooled myself. In this new world, you can never be safe. I'm Katie Greene, and this is the apocalypse.Complete
Vagabonds
(WARNING: MATURE. These stories contain many topics that some readers might find uncomfortable, including intense violence, sexual content, implications of self-harm or suicide, and some instances of SA. The latter two will have trigger warnings before the story begins. If it's too much for you, feel free to pass on to the next story!) This is an an on-going horror anthology series that is collection of stories all taking place within the same despair-ridden world: a world in which society collapsed long ago and monsters aren't just the stuff of nightmares, but a thing of reality. Each story is written by one of three authors who share creative control of the world: Eli, Liz, and Dean. The stories similarly take place in different locations across different times. The time period, setting, and author will be disclosed at the start of each story. These stories are off-shoots meant to expand the lore for a pre-existing RP between the three authors, some of which being backstories for characters within it and other stories being events that were not seen in the RP itself. Some additional stories are written/being written to clarify what would be confusing without the existing context, but certain chapters will inevitably be confusing without it, so apologies for that. This is just meant to be a place where we can order the stories chronologically and put them somewhere for fun.
