A Different Virus - Laura's Story
This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)

KLAUS'S NIGHTMARE ABOUT HUMAN CENTIPEDE: SECOND SEQUENCE
Klaus never imagined his life would spiral into a nightmare of blood, trauma, and twisted family ties. His once-normal existence shattered when his best friend, Colton, embarked on a sickening experiment, sewing people together in a grotesque imitation of a centipede. What started as a dark curiosity quickly morphed into a sadistic obsession, and Klaus found himself trapped in Colton's nightmarish plans. With his friends-Joseph, Amybeth, and twin sister Elijah-caught in Colton's grip, Klaus was forced to confront his worst fears. The person he trusted most had become a monster, and survival meant making impossible choices. As Colton's madness grew, Klaus battled his own guilt and terror while trying to save those he loved. The bloodshed reached horrifying heights, and despite his best efforts, Klaus couldn't escape the grip of Colton's cruelty. When the violence finally stopped, the echoes of Colton's insanity lingered, leaving Klaus with more than just physical scars. As he pieces together a life that will never be the same, Klaus is left to face the truth: the nightmare will never fully end. [This book, like the rest of the KNAHC series, is pure satire-a crack fic making fun of The Human Centipede. I don't actually like the films or the South Park episode, but my best friend, Colton, does and loves body horror. This was inspired by a nightmare I had at 13 during summer vacation in Seaside Heights, Nj, after watching The Human Centipad with Colton.]Complete
