A story of survival, silence, and the slow-burn pull between two souls in a world where love is just as dangerous as the dead. This is a slow-burn romance set in a world swallowed by the undead. Craig never cared much for Kyle Broflovski-at least, not until Kyle stopped speaking, stopped reacting, stopped being human. Now, the dead ignore him, the living don't understand him, and Craig is the only one who seems to notice.
As the world rots around them, Craig finds himself drawn to Kyle in ways he can't explain. It starts with quiet glances, unspoken questions, and a frustration he doesn't understand. But in a world where survival means keeping your distance, Craig might be making the biggest mistake of all-getting close, or worse. Obsessed,

Stalker (Cryle)
Craig is tired of life and spends most of his time observing things. He's a viewer not an actor in the strange show of life. He doesn't interact with others, but knows everything about them. His life is empty, there's only one thing left for him there and that's photography. The one and only meaning of his life, the only thing that keeps him on this earth. He puts all of his effort into taking pictures, he wants them to be perfect. But how can pictures be perfect without the perfect model? On the other hand, Kyle isn't a normal high schooler either. Controlling his anger issues started becoming harder each day. His friends abandoned him because they're scared he might hurt them, both physically and mentally. Kyle is so lonely that he will trust anything and anyone if it means he will have company again. Kyle's first fault was trusting the wrong person, his second mistake was falling in love with him...Complete
Ashes of the hollow
The world ended not with fire, but with silence. Cities crumbled. Nature crept back. And in the ruins, the dead did not stay dead. Kael, a quiet survivor hardened by loss, trusts only his instincts. Lara, fierce and stubborn, refuses to let the world strip away her humanity. Together, they wander through forests, rivers, and the bones of cities-searching for hope in a land crawling with horrors. But the dead are changing. Some move in packs. Some hunt with unnatural speed. And some... some remember. When whispers of a hidden sanctuary reach them-a place untouched by the plague-they must choose: keep running from the dark, or risk everything for the faintest spark of tomorrow. In a world where laughter feels like betrayal and love is a dangerous luxury, survival is not enough. They must rediscover what it means to live.
ALL THAT FOLLOWS - A Zombie Story
The end came quietly. Survival didn't. Seth walks alone now - through ruins and silence, through the bones of a world that forgot how to live. The dead outnumber the living, and the ones who've survived have learned to be colder than winter steel. But no matter how far he goes, memory follows. Of who he was, of everything he lost. Of the faces that haunt his sleep and the blood that never quite washed off. In a world that punishes kindness and buries the weak, Seth isn't searching for hope. He's just trying not to fall apart. But sometimes, the road doesn't care what you want. Sometimes, it gives you someone to protect - whether you're ready or not. Because even a broken man has one last fight left in him. ___ Note : All That Follows is a sequel to All That Remains. It carries echoes, secrets, and scars from what came before. While it can be read on its own, within these pages lie spoilers, fragments of a past some readers may wish to discover firsthand. Step forward as you will, but know the ghosts are watching.Complete
