Day 18 - 13 Days to Save the World

He's the worst neighbor in the world, but he's all she's got. 

Dedicated couponer Ember puts aside a long standing hostility with her neighbor in the face of worsening conditions in the neighborhood. They each have something the other needs, and sometimes you have to be willing to work with the enemy to stay alive.

The Episode That Time Forgot by whatamichoppedliver

**THIS STORY IS BEING REWRITTEN IN A SEPARATE BOOK** Ember Maxwell is a 14 year old Whovian that is bullied by the kids at school, and beaten by her parent at home. One day when Ember was at a yard sale, her neighbor gave her an lost episode of Doctor Who that she never saw before. When she put the DVD in the DVD player she was sucked into The 'Doctor Who' world! Will she ever go back to her world, Or will she be stuck in the Doctors world forever?!? • • • The writing at the beginning of the book will suck, but as the book goes on, it will get kinda better. I wrote this book when I turned 14 and let me tell you, comparing my writing now to back then, its 50% better (Idfk tbh). So please enjoy this adventure of Ember and the Doctor, as they travel in the blue police box. • • • (NOT COMPLETED)

Barely Alive (#JustWriteIt #SuperCharged) by Hunterarlert

Travis, Darcie, Dawson, Tori, Leo, Levi, Kaylie, Hunter, and Anthony have no business knowing each other, let alone being a team. But during a zombie apocalypse, when you get desperate, you're desperate. When you're out of options, you need to do what you need to do to survive every day. Sometimes, it might not always be ideal. But when push comes to shove, when you're barely alive and should be dead, the people who you don't know may just save you. Surviving without enemies is hard enough. But when the past comes back to haunt and enemies come to fight, the apocalypse may just become almost impossible to survive. Brains and brawn may not be enough. It takes heart to make it day to day. They knew it would be hard. They didn't know it would be next to impossible to survive. This is a story my friend and I wrote together. It took us about a year to complete. Comments would be great to see so we know if something needs to be fixed or if it's a good story.

LoveTober: In the World of Samaritan's Legacy by TheBriter

This a collection of prompts I used to write Hember's story in the month of October 2024. Lovetober is my humble attempt at writing romance and is an opportunity to world build before I release "Samaritan's Legacy," which takes place right after this story's end. It is a light romance in which Hember struggles with loneliness brought on by his faith. He is rejected by all he loves and unable to maintain any relationships in his country, Delair, on the planet Orbellus. At the age of 21, he encounters a woman from the city of Nascula in the country of Merigo, and he is captivated by her. That does prevent more issues from arising. In the country of Delair, worshipping the God Hember believes in is unlawful, and he is wrought with confusion, doubt, and fear about what he should do. What he must do, he lacks the will to do it. Although the first part of LoveTober is primarily a romance, the world of Samaritan's Legacy is one that falls into a zombie-like apocalypse. The story will shift slightly to blend into the apocalypse that will come but the main focus will still be the romance.

Left For Dead [malec fanfiction] [complete] by Kersten_Noelle

"Are you coming with me or not?" "To where? Where are we going to go, Magnus? We're in the middle of the goddamn zombie apocalypse. Everyone we know is dead. Dead or Turned." Magnus fixed his gun over his shoulder and smiled broadly. "We can go wherever we like, Alexander. There's no rules anymore. We're all just skin and bones." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The year is 2025. Five years ago, a deadly disease was released worldwide that reanimates the dead and turns them into flesh eating corpses. Once bitten, you turn into one them. First comes the fever. Then comes death. Then the reanimation. The news will tell you to stay inside. Don't listen. They will tell you to go to an evacuation center. Don't go. They will tell to stay in large groups to ensure safety. That's not always the case. No place is safe, only safer. Either you survive or you die. Or else you're left for dead. Your choice. All characters besides my own © of Cassandra Clare. They deserved so much better.

30 Days to Save the World by writersconnx

Thirty days. The countdown has started, North America shivers under the shadow of a massive alien spacecraft, and humanity is hurtling toward an unknown future that lurks at the end of the timer. Somewhere, somehow, the heroes are making their plans to fight the extraterrestrials. But this isn't about them. From the team at WritersConnX comes a new anthology about the rest of us - the average, the ordinary, the unassuming - and the many paths we run when our time is cut short. And no damn aliens!
