Isaac is a Marine Iraqi War veteran, grappling with the chains of his past. Tormented by perpetual nightmares and guilt that claws at his soul, Issac's reality begins to blur with the realm of the supernatural. The traumatic scenes from overseas that he experienced, the bloodshed and chaos, which incessantly haunt his dreams, now seem to be much more than mere nightmares. They are a relentless predator, tirelessly stalking him, thirsting for his demise as he grapples with his past actions. However, what Issac fails to comprehend is that his trauma isn't rooted in the recent past, but extends back to a fateful day that shook the world - 9/11. This was a day that not only transformed the physical world but also stirred tremors within a hidden realm. As Issac succumbs to his deep-rooted trauma, his eyes open to a new world beyond the visible. A world where his true battles await, a world that echoes the mysteries of Zion.All Rights Reserved

I know he can get angry sometimes, but he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me in public, would he? I wait and wait for him to do something, but he does nothing because we get interrupted by a loud voice that sounds through the quiet of the night. "Hey!" I dare to open my eyes a little to see where it's coming from. A tall blond guy, carrying grocery bags is standing a couple yards away. "Yes, I'm talking to you!

Fight to Forget (Sunstreaker x OC) by UnderAfallingSkyR3D

Two years after surviving the fight of her life, Medal of Honor recipient Melissa Smith comes home a decorated war hero, with commendations and medals attesting to her bravery and skill. To the higher ups, honorable discharge and full military benefits must seem like fitting repayment for the hero who repeatedly put herself in the line of fire to provide cover for her platoon, right? Wrong. Melissa doesn't know how to be a civilian, but apparently she can't be a soldier, either. A recent psych evaluation left her commanding officers no choice but to offer her an out after she froze under fire and nearly got her entire team killed. Her choice? Go home, or risk disgracing herself and the uniform. But that only left her alone with the demons in her head. Facing life outside the military is hard enough, but what will happen when a remnant of the best and worst moment of her life turns out to be more than meets the eye? Will she trust the angry yellow autobot assigned to protect her from Earth's most dangerous enemy, or will she put a bullet through his optic with all the deadly efficiency that earned her a name in Iraq? Trigger warnings: PTSD, depression, mentions of trauma, canon typical violence, adult language

WAKE (Wattpad edition) by coffee-an-flowers

The powerful conclusion to the SCARS trilogy. Jon finally feels like he has a place where he can get a break from the weight of having to be Pastor Pete's good son. But the opioid pills he's using to manage his pain are changing his behavior in ways he won't be able to hide for much longer. It isn't even his biggest secret: no one knows the real Jon White, and he's terrified if the full truth of himself comes out it will cost both the love of his earthly dad and his heavenly Father. Cary has one last hurdle to leave years of childhood abuse behind him: the trial at which he has to testify against his abuser. But his decision to speak up has splintered the remains of his family and his former best friend seems bent on self-destructing. Cary's going to need everything he's learned along the way to snatch Jon off the ledge. It's never been more obvious the journey from walking wounded to wholeness isn't meant to be travelled alone.

Wolf Bite || BL by this-bsh-empty

Monday, August 1 Dear Isaac, if you're reading this, that means you've turned eighteen. Congratulations, I'm so proud of you. I hope you had a great day! But unfortunately, that also means I'm not there to celebrate with you, I'm so sorry about that. I never thought I'd have to write this journal, but here I am. You're probably very confused, and I don't blame you, but your father wouldn't be able to properly explain to you everything about yourself, And if I don't make it, which I fear I don't, and I probably didn't or you wouldn't be reading this, there's got to be some way for you to find out, So, let's begin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- His friend forces him on a hunting trip, where instead of a monster he finds quite the opposite... or so he thinks. Soon things start to get confusing. What happens when a dark past gets revealed? And old acquaintances show up? What exactly happened to his mother?

In order to survive in this hellish landscape, Isaac, a once nonviolent person, is forced to step out of his tranquil lifestyle into the role of a hardened fighter and leader. Led by Isaac, he and his crew are forced to scavenge whatever materials they can find to stay alive against the "Infected".
