The Days After by DragonWriter91

In a world torn apart by chaos, seventeen-year-old Ethen Gray clings to survival in the ruins of what was once home. Scarred by the past and haunted by the choices he's had to make, he crosses paths with Levi, a quiet but steadfast survivor carrying his own burdens of guilt. Their unlikely partnership is tested by the relentless dangers of the infected and the dark truths lurking behind humanity's collapse. Amid the ruins, they forge a fragile bond that could mean salvation-or destruction-as they struggle to survive and uncover the secrets that tie them to a greater purpose. But survival comes with sacrifice, and their journey will challenge everything they believe about hope, trust, and what it truly means to keep going when all seems lost.

L'Avventura by ebeauregard

Stevie is 7 years old in 1971. His tranquil life with his parents, grandmother, and four older sisters is about to take a turn for the worse. The bourgeois society he lives in, a French city called Nantes, is not ready for the sequence of events that are going to create havoc in Stevie's universe. Feeling hard done by destiny, despite his young age, he embarks on a road where few adults are able to follow. Thus, Stevie explores all aspects of life in this candid and bare-it-all account of his 'not for the faint-hearted' routine. During his drifting and solitary journey, he encounters people of various ages and backgrounds. The story paints a vivid portrait of life in the early part of the 70s, clearly depicting its sounds, images, and culture. This is the story of the coming of age of an extraordinary boy narrated at the first person by Etienne Beauregard in this dramatic debut.
