Qualified for Round -3

What if the moon was never ours to begin with? Or the Earth even?

Now, it is upto a trio of compassionate loser, a blind badass and a wicked hundred-year-old-teenager to save the world from completely disappearing from the face of our universe.

It is 2223 in the future, the moon has lost its orbit and is spiralling down the way to collide with earth. A century of pain and death due to riptides, draughts, thunderstorm and crazy eclipses has changed the world. What remains of the continents has merged into one land called Penumbra due to continental drift, ruled by a single united inter-continental government.

Humanity lives under the ground, salvaging what's left for food and water. Living like termites inside a mound, they come out only to forage dead and decaying. And they are tired, they are done and want to 'live'. 

But there is one tiny problem. Resistance, from a community nicknamed sinukian savages, who live above the ground, who have adapted and evolved to live with the frost, thunderstorm and scorching draughts even. They believe in the oracle of Sinukhi, the one and only almighty. His judgement day will come and he is the only one who can save the  humanity from extinction.Todos los derechos reservados

Run Away With Me de Reanea1Angeca

"Fishy kisses are better than kisses," I say, the words coming out of nowhere, "and like that, two people together are better than marriage." "What are you talking about?" "Nothing really," I sigh, hunching over myself more to trap the warmth, "it's just..." "Just?" "...I'm tired of this world, being judged for something you can't control, molded by peoples opinion, it's sickening." I glance at him, gauging his expression, he didn't have any. A crazy idea enters my head. "Hey, let's run away together, from society," I breathe, pausing for a bit, "maybe it's cowardly, maybe it's foolish, but I don't want to be defined by people who don't know me," maybe the cold is getting to me, "run away with me." * Loopie didn't expect that the single shine of hope that finally shone came in the form of a silent and mysterious werewolf. Nao didn't quite understand how his fate entangled with that of the trouble-magnet rascal. But with a bit of family feud and the need for something stable, this arrangement might very well work for the both of them. ~~~ First installment of the Invalid series.

Heart of Stone (Parts I & II) de Joflower

[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death. -- He couldn't endure another heartbreak. "Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his.

Northern Exposure: The divided de LukenDuPont

Without warning it began! The inevitable, I think it's fair to assume this book is not in my possession. This means I'm most likely dead. Most nights I wrestle the reason I have chosen to explain what happened, the things we did to each other, things no human being should witness. I Wright this simply to enlighten your poor soul and give you more of a chance than I had. A chance to survive what is most likely the brink of human extinction. Times are harder now and as the days go by we are less of our former selves. We have become husks floating around in a lost, desolate world. I look at this place and it still seems so alien to me, as the days roll into the nights I'm still unsure of how we got to this point. If you are reading this, you too are probably North and very much aware of what has happened to our beloved city. I feel a responsibility to inform you that you will most likely share the same fate as I have. I understand you may be wondering what's worse than death, trust me in this place death seems like a paradise compared. I do not know why I still feel so obligated to write this. To be honest most nights I think its just an escape from the madness, like a natural sedative it's the only way I can fall asleep in this hell. However I do need to clear my conscious and pay dividend for my demons. I need you to know what happened to me; I need you to know what we have become and what we are capable of. I need you to know why we have chosen to kill each other, why the smell of human flesh lingers in the air like slow roast pork on a Sunday afternoon. Why bodies litter our streets. Why things that seemed to be so impossible happen in front of our very own eyes. Why conformity i this place is the unreal ideas people live their lives by and why I was included into this group of youthful abominations. All of this might be irrelevant compared to what I am about to tell you.

FINDING MY KING - P1 SCREENPLAY de Dcoleman80

SCREENPLAY VERSION.... 18+ readers only ❤️ I've lived the last eight years of my life in pain. Pain that should've brought me to my knees, with a big fat "Screw-you world, I'm outta here!" Still, I refused to give up. Never did I want to be that weak, pitiful woman I was with him. Our relationship, (If you can even call it that) became toxic. I knew it was, but I didn't see this one coming. No, that's a lie. It was totally his style. It didn't surprise me at all. I lost so much confidence because of him, so finding love was a complete no no. I just couldn't allow anybody else in after living with the devil himself. It's impossible. I've lost the ability to trust anybody, aside from my family and my best friend. But never did I imagine my life going this way, and because of it, I lost all hope of ever finding love again. Living with all that destruction almost destroyed me. I knew he was bad, but never did I think he would ruin my life. He knew how important my dreams were, and still, he destroyed everything. Crazily, I knew it was his jealousy that made him do it. I've never in my life met anybody so green-eyed before. It was all about control, and I had enough. Since then, it's taken a long time in getting my life back on track. Yet just when I thought it was clear to move forward, I'm hit with more drama. Can I survive it, or will the devil himself come back and destroy my happiness forever?

Darkest Wolf de Wolfbane

"I need you." "And I need a drink." "I don't think you understand," I put my hand on the middle of his back, letting all the darkest emotions- fear, greed, lust- transfer into him, "I need you." He turned to me and before I knew it he was stealing my first kiss. _ My name is Eve, half hybrid daughter of the oldest oracle in werewolf history. My twin brother, Ethan, and I were nearly killed in a great battle, a battle that set our destinies in play. Now that we have reached the age of 18 we will begin to fulfill the prophecy. The final prophecy. I am the dark and my brother is the light. To prevent the downfall of all kinds I must find my mate. Only he can prevent all the world from dying. But he doesn't care about this world. He doesn't want to live. How can I get him to help me save something he doesn't want to exist? This is the final story of the series. Be warned that while you can read this story alone if you choose to read the other stories later there will be spoilers. Book 5. ***Updates are Fridays
