The world didn't end all at once. It crumbled slowly-through screams, silence, and the weight of too many goodbyes. I lost my children, most of my family, and I lost who I used to be.
Now, I move through the ruins of what was, carving a path through the dead and the dangerous, trying to protect what little is left. Every choice I make, every life I take-it leaves a mark. But I keep going, because I have to. Because someone has to.
I don't know if redemption exists anymore, or if safety is anything more than a memory. But I know this: we carry each other through the dark, one broken piece at a time. And somehow, even now... we survive.

Six hearts. One wasteland. And the dead remember everything. The world ended, but the living kept loving. In a land where the rot has a mind of its own, six broken souls claw their way toward hope - or toward each other's destruction. A butcher who forgot how to feel. A bystander who never learned how. A prophet who mistakes obsession for truth. A liar who can't outrun her past. A smiler with blood on her tongue. A scavenger with a desperate heart. The dead are changing. Faster. Smarter. Watching. And in the red hush before the final collapse, something old is waiting to be born.
Night Disease
REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi.

To Burn the World for You
In a world swallowed by fire, ash, and the endless groans of the undead, two women find solace in the chaos-and in each other. Charlotte, quiet but fierce, and Max, a bold and rugged dirt-bike-riding survivor, are bound by the blood they've spilled and the love that's grown between battles. Together they ride through ruined cities and overgrown highways, dodging death, hunting supplies, and navigating the raw ache of survival.

They just might have to. -this story contains violence, gore, sexual content, and mature themes. It is not suitable for readers under 18.

𝑨 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒅𝒚. (𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒏)
Trying to survive the apocalypse isn't just about slaying the undead. It's a 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 lot more complicated than that. Hardly anybody ever considers the barbaric murderers with the Cheshire Cat smiles or the cunning killers lurking around for their next victim to slice open. Or what about the huge range of communities out there, trying their best to thrive in the new world? Surely, not all of them are bad... right? Well, Brooklyn Scotts would be inclined to disagree to that last point made. For the girl has been surviving on her own since it all started, joining and leaving small groups here and there. But when she just so happens to unintentionally seek help on her travels, her whole world is turned upside down and she finds herself breaking all the rules. <><><> Highest Rank(s): » #1 Negan » #1 TheWalkingDead » #1 Rickgrimes <><><> || Negan X OC || || Mature Content || || Please Enjoy || <><><> » started late 2017 » completed summer 2019Complete
