Following a Wanderer, Jean, of a once modern land ravaged by hate, the reader will embark into a serious tale of ends and beginnings. Enclosed is slices and scenes from a time of hardship and much suffering. Though death lends to life and vice-verse. What was old was once new and what was new must be old. Here is a story of that frightful and sublime transition, with regards to humanity. Can the dusts of time bring peaceful&fruitful progress?, or will shrouds of evil hate prevail? 

I have here a Fictional Short Story of around 2k+ words. The genre is a unique blend of Speculative Fiction, and dystopia. Tied within this a wholesome synthesis of anthropology and science fiction notes. An older played genre, but nonetheless these types of stories always give a grave, what if to society. How did the state of affairs come to be?, and how are things to be dealt with? What I found most fascinating with this endeavor was the melding and integration that flows out of so little of space on the page. The story is minimal, playing on cliches within the genre, but the perspective packs an exhilarating punch..

Desert Wake ✔ by amberkbryant

***The Corner Booth Contest Runner-Up*** WARNING: contains one blue-eyed stranger, one fast-talking heroine, and a couple of scenes steamier than a mirage at noon. Throw in gigantic dust storms, lawmen out for blood, plus a wasteland to be traversed and you are in for an adventure sultrier than the desert sun! You would think May was living in paradise. After all, a gorgeous man just showed up on her porch willing to do anything she asks of him. But this is no paradise. May lives in a world settled by technology-rejecting idealists wishing to live in harmony with the land. That land, however, has not been very cooperative. The desert in the heart of the planet is spreading outward at an alarming pace, swallowing anything that gets in its way. And May? She's in its way, all right! Alone on her parents' dying farm, May has two goats, a shotgun, and a whole lot of dust. That's about all she has, until the day Ro shows up. Ro brings with him a secret most of their world isn't ready to face. The lawmen on his tail will do whatever it takes, including murder, to keep that secret buried in the desert sand. If they don't succeed in killing May and Ro, no matter: the desert might just do the job for them.

My Bleeding Heart by w1n3ry_

Hello. This is a story much like "The Hunger Games". You'll know what I mean once you read. Anyway, this story will have various *Trigger Warnings* so *proceed with caution*. I know the cover looks a little odd but I do fully intend to change it. Just not as of now. This is very much a story you will have to read to know what it's about in detail. Keep in mind I haven't written a story or book in more than 2 years. So this is definitely a little sloppy, but I hope it's at least up to pare. I'm not exactly expecting this to get much attention, I actually don't know if I want it to get any at all. But, here we are. I hope y'all enjoy if you do decide to read. :) ‼️NOTICE‼️ This book will involve many sensitive topics and content. Proceed with caution. Things it will include, but are not limited to: SH, Slurs, Death, Murder, Abuse, Racism, Ableism, Gaslighting, Delusions, Hallucinations, Medication, Abuse Of Power, NSFW/Smut Etc.

Death Stranding Season 1 by peouep

The year is 2050, and the world is a shadow of what it once was. On December 31st, 2049, a massive asteroid struck Earth, unleashing devastation on an unimaginable scale. The collision engulfed the planet in flames, erasing entire cities and wiping out 80% of all living beings. Once-vibrant landscapes have turned to barren wastelands, and the remnants of humanity are scattered and struggling to survive in the aftermath of the cataclysm. What remains is a harsh and unforgiving world where survival comes at a cost, and trust is a luxury few can afford. The story follows 11 Smith, a man who awakens on January 9th, 2050, in the center of a massive crater-the impact site of the asteroid. Disoriented and alone, he discovers that the Earth is now a desolate wasteland, filled with dangers both seen and unseen. As he begins his journey, 11 encounters allies like 24, 42, 22, and 12, each with their own burdens to bear. Together, they uncover the truth about the asteroid and its far-reaching consequences. But lurking in the shadows is 3, a powerful and enigmatic adversary determined to control what's left of humanity. Joined by the ruthless 41 and 48, 3 will stop at nothing to achieve dominance in this shattered new world. *NOTE* Everyone is mortal in "Death Stranding." Meaning anyone can die.

Flee the Forest(Horror story) by Fangkun6

((This is targeted to people 16+)) The smell of blood was overwhelming. The scent of the short teen used to have was gone, replaced with the putrid smell of death and rot that covered the whole room and the killer himself. Blood smudged all over the teen and onto the older man as he attempted to escape. He got hungry and tired. He just wanted to eat and then sleep. He was preparing the girl, cutting her body apart and tearing the flesh off the bones, which is why the room was such a mess with her blood. Now, he had the boy in his hands. The hunger overtook him. The sharp pain of large "canine" teeth being plunged into his neck made Cameron scream. It was cut short, his whole body freezing up as the crazy man sunk his large fangs into his neck, ripping a large chunk of the boy's flesh in between his teeth. The pain only got worse when he felt the killer tug harshly, pulling his flesh out... ----- A gang of delinquents becomes lost in a forest, pursued by a frightening masked figure. He hunts them down individually, resembling a stalking wolf, wielding a crude knife fashioned from animal bones. As they struggle to survive, the teens also grapple with the harsh environment that challenges them. Throughout their ordeal, they discover more about one another, forming deeper connections as they begin to share their lives with one another. ----- ⚠️ WARNINGS ⚠️: - Gore, violent description of violence, - Cannibalism(not shown but alluded), - Death, - Descriptions of PTSD and trauma, - Abusive parents, mistreatment of children, - Foul, harmful language, - Nothing is real, this is a work of fiction,

Some are untouched by anyone due to their power or how much control of territory they have. Well, My little mafia has a long way to go before we get wiped out due to our status not being so high in the ranks. I'm Y/N and My Mafia is called The Blackout Mafia and you'll find out why soon.

Wings | Fleeting Feathers Book 0 by ThatOneBookWorm619

+ Co-written with Meteoritezr + First rule of living with the Flock? No names. Nothing real anyway. You don't survive with your humanity, you shed it, or it sheds you. Zombies were said to be impossible, that they'd never happen, well obviously whoever said that had underestimated human curiosity. It started with the melting of the Poles, which uncovered diseases that hadn't been seen in millennia. Obviously, when a flesh-eating parasitical virus was found, scientists in all their glory decided to study it, which led to the greatest calamity in human history. Warning: This is the original book 1, it is now considered more of a prelude/building character relationships arc than a book. This provides backstory and sets the foundation for the characters and their relationships. The action starts in the new book 1 - Migration. - TW: Gore, Cursing, Death, etc. Not recommended for anyone who can't stomach gore or other zombie stuff or LGBTQ+. Homophobia will not be tolerated in any way, shape, or form -
