The apocalypse was something different entirely. No, no one expected something like it to ever happen. Especially in the small town of horseshoe. A small town, which you'd assume was western, was actually quite the opposite. The virus began in horseshoe, actually. An interesting little town, where I was born.

Where am I now? Well, I guess you'll just have to wait and see. If I've lived this long, might as well tell the story.
A twist of perspectives, with each chapter being a different characters perspective.

Infection
It starts with a simple itch, nothing more. Maybe a few random spasms or the occasional shudder but you'll think nothing of it. Then you'll get blood shot eyes... Not enough sleep? It gets worse, much worse. The itching turns to scratching, clawing at you skin until it bleeds... and bleeds and bleeds. Then comes the anger which tips you over the top making you brake into a full blown seizure. Madness. You still with me? Well you won't be if they catch you, you'll be one of them...infected.Complete
Infected (Fifth Harmony/You)
In a world where a virus has spread that causes people to turn into flesh-eaters, you have lived being a zombie killer. You stopped having feelings after being forced to do the unthinkable and have lost the capability to love, no ability to care about the walkers around you. You run into an old childhood friend, as well as some more recent ones, as you discover a new survivors' camp. Despite this, you didn't expect to run into five girls you always admired. What is unknown to you, despite the clear signals given, is their attraction to you. Just when you thought being constantly attacked by the walking dead was enough, you're thrown into a whirlpool of emotion. Will it be a virus or love that leaves you infected?

The Church Of The Dead
The world ended on January the 17th, 2041, when a mysterious phenomenon changed everything forever. All over the world, people began dropping dead. Although they never stayed that way for long. Stumbling through the remnants of society, the dead began to eat or kill anyone too stupid to let them get close. Robert never knew the Old World. Born after The End, his whole life was a fight for survival, just him and his stepmother living in an old house on what used to be a farm. But when a now aging Robert looks into the scope of his stepmothers' old rifle, he never expects to see a living human looking back. And he never expects to receive a warning; the dead aren't the only dangers that lay in the rubble of past civilization, and he may soon be faced with a threat greater than anything he's ever seen.Complete
Lost Between Us
Oh, what a wonderful time to be alive! Medical care is better than ever, the number of homeless has dropped dramatically, and war hasn't been sparked for five glorious years. But. Oh, of course there's a but! Did you truly expect this to be a story about a utopia? (Especially seeing how it's written by ME, of all people.) "End Trait" is the name of the virus, given to it by the survivors. The virus was created through a chain of events triggered by an atomic bomb, and much of humanity is gone.Complete
The Dead Don't Bleed
You'd think the zombie apocalypse would start the way you'd imagine it, right? Dead bodies popping out of their graves, hands trying to claw their way out so they can scratch and bite whoever comes near them. The sky turning black and only the strong survive. That's what would typically happen, right? Wrong. But, of course, despite it being as cliche as it was, that was his thoughts on how it would happen, if it ever did, but then again, that was before IT happened. Before a simple drug turned nearly half of each and every population into the undead. Before Keith lost the only family he ever had. And before he met a small group of six that would change his life forever. 2019 Open Novella Shortlist QualifierComplete
