In a world gripped by a second Great Depression, where poverty and conflict have torn society apart, Ariella struggles to survive in the midst of a devastating pandemic that has unleashed the undead-crawlers-upon the earth.
Haunted by betrayal and heartbreak, Ariella flees her shattered past and stumbles upon a group of survivors hiding in the wreckage of civilization. But trust is a scarce commodity, and the group's wary leader, Jonah finds that Ariella's presence stirs something in him-an unease, a flicker of vulnerability he'd rather keep buried.
Desperate to prove her worth and carve out a place in their fragile community, Ariella must navigate a labyrinth of suspicion and old wounds. As she battles the monsters beyond the cave walls-and the ones within her own heart-she finds herself at a crossroads: will she surrender to the darkness of her past, or fight to forge a new identity in the ruins of the world?
In this tale of survival, love, and overcoming fears, Ariella's journey will test the boundaries of loyalty, trust, and the true meaning of family in a world where hope is as scarce as a beating heart.

Still Reminiscent (A Pre-Apocalyptic Survival Story) [Discontinued]
In the year 2022 a mysterious virus erupts in the city of New Yoke Town. What begins as an isolated outbreak rapidly spirals into a full-blown pre-apocalypse - buildings burn, panic spreads, and humanity is forced to reckon with a world where the living and the dead blur. The story follows multiple survivors - ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, each trying to stay alive in a world going to hell. We meet a hardened "shotgun fellow" whose past haunts him, a crewman uneasy in this new reality, and numerous others trying to adapt to chaos. As society crumbles, the infected - referred to as "turned" - become relentless predators, and survival becomes a matter of constant flight, distrust, and brutal choices. The narrative explores not just the threat of the virus, but the human cost: betrayal, the breakdown of community, and how people react when the rules no longer apply. Eventually, a powerful corporation called the Revert Corporation takes the blame for the outbreak. A "cure" emerges, but only after waves of death and suffering. Some survivors who receive the cure undergo a strange transformation - gaining new powers, or becoming something beyond mere human. The tone is dark, raw and urgent. There's no fantasy system, no supernatural magic setup - just the nightmare of infection, collapse, and the fight to keep one's humanity. The author notes upfront: graphic violence, profanity, sad endings, survival horror. ------------------ORIGINAL STORY-------------------- All Rights Reserved.Complete

August 2, 2012. The day humanity fell. Having gone through an environmental cataclysm, planet earth has deteriorated into a vast wilderness inhabiting the aftermath of the war that pulverized populations. The remainder of humanity's strongest reside in the protection of Strongholds, where clusters of cities strive within massive walls that separate the remaining humans from the man-eating monsters that nearly sent them into extinction. In this time, humanity's strongest are sent out to take back their fallen planet, but when the walls fall, all bets are placed on the outside and the unknown forces that reside in the supposed uninhabitable. Fang is one of many survivors left after the fall of his Stronghold, and he, along with the companions he's gathered along the way, must rely on their abilities as they undergo a dangerous battle that may or may not cost them their lives: the battle of ultimate survival.
