apocalypse funny identity insane phyc unstable ward wasteland

Seven misfits. One apocalypse. Zero chance they'll survive without emotionally scarring each other first.

Locked in a mental asylum when the world ended, a dysfunctional squad of survivors escapes to the surface-only to find it's somehow worse. Burnt cities. Trigger-happy snipers. And, of course, zombies with anger issues.

There's Reva, the fearsome leader with a loyalty complex and a knife that's seen too much. Benny, the human disaster who may or may not be immune. Skye, the comic relief hiding heartbreak under sarcasm. Eli, the quiet brawler with a stutter and a secret. Cassian, the emotionally-repressed engineer with trust issues. Rowan, the fact-obsessed brain who might be more machine than man. And Meryl, the tired medic who could probably run a hospital while delivering sarcasm intravenously.

They've got nothing but trauma, sarcasm, and a radio broadcast promising salvation-if it's not a trap.

Together, they'll fight, break, bleed, flirt poorly, and maybe-just maybe-find a reason to keep going.

They're mostly harmless.

The Curious Tale of Colin Campbell by RomeoBloodbath

He's an ageless drifter. His best friend makes murder look like an accident. Now a time-travelling cyborg zombie from the future wants to take him home. Colin Campbell has been alive for hundreds of years - and he's not thrilled about it. He doesn't know what he is, or why he's still here. He spends most of his time quietly avoiding attention, ordering salt-and-pepper chips from the Chinese chippy in flawless Mandarin - which is weird, because he doesn't speak Mandarin.. Brian, meanwhile, is Colin's best mate. Also a hitman. Also deeply confused. Every target he's been assigned since meeting Colin has died in bizarre, unrelated accidents - pianos, scaffolding, aggressive ducks. Brian still gets paid, but it's starting to mess with his professional pride. And then Carmen arrives. She's a smart, sassy, time-travelling zombie, and the only person qualified to survive prolonged exposure to Colin's ridiculous existence. She's here to bring him home. Or forward. Or possibly sideways. Turns out Colin may be the oldest revenant in history - a walking paradox wrapped in centuries of bad habits and pub snacks. The future wants him back. The timeline's falling apart. And reality is doing that wobbly thing again.

What Lasts in Us by monstrousbeauty

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.

Becoming Her Dark Side by CHURCHILLCYRIL

They lied to me. My own family. My so-called friends. All of them hiding the truth, that we're tied to the criminal underworld, a forte where my family, the Storms, are the undisputed kings. Then everything falls apart. My dad gets framed. My cousin ends up dead. And the boy I've had a childhood crush on-Nathaniel-turns out to be the one who could destroy me. At least Luke, the one person I shouldn't want, fights to keep me from breaking... but even he has secrets. But it's gets even worse, because now an organization is rising from the shadows, an organization that opposes everything my family stands for. And in a family of warmongers and sociopaths, I stood out as a glaring weakness. The most normal, the most vulnerable, and the most efficient way to end a dynasty that has ruled for centuries. Because what is a throne without an heir, and a crown without its king. So here I am, stuck in a game of blood and betrayal where the only way to survive is to stop being the fragile girl they thought I was. If I have to burn bridges, spill blood, and embrace the monster inside me, then so be it. Because this time, I'm not running from my darkness. I'm becoming it.

The Infant Conspiracy by whyonedrtraveler

Noel and Violet Oberllyn spent their adult careers working special ops for the U.S. government. After forty years of it, all they wanted was a peaceful retirement in the country. Just as it seemed those dreams might happen, a planned series of events forced their over achieving adult children to return home to live with the folks - all four of them with spouses in tow, each driven from their homes by different aspects of a government that had gone crazy. Kai a geneticist, with Zyanya his wife, Gabriel a bomb expert with their grandson little Gabe, Jasmine, a forensic psychiatrist married to Scott, a CPA, join their little sibs still living at home, Micah, an autistic savant and Serena, an artist, in uncovering a secretive group of people called the Brotherhood whose main goal appears to be to take the earth's population down from 7 billion to 500 million within the next 10 years. Having infiltrated the governments of most developed countries, and having released an airborne anti-fertility virus that rapidly spread across the planet, the Brotherhood succeeded in forcing a zero fertility rate. In the meantime, the economy of the U.S. tanked, the government sells all citizens who have debt into slavery within a system so harsh that civil disorder breaks out. Serenity Retreat Center is forced to become a slave labor camp and the family is forced back into special service to save the Center, their tribe, the United States and humanity from destruction. This was not going to be a quiet retirement....

The Altered. by _fiinch_

guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

The Narrowest Days by haylbaylz

I see you're awake finally. Let me explain, I'm the overseer, and my name is Hayley, I will guide you on your journey through this time era. Your name is Lexi, you needn't know you second name as it is useless now. That girl you are staring at is you, and you don't know anything because I made sure of that." The voice of which belongs to the person known as Hayley, booms through the room with a posh accent but audibly angry... Why was she angry with me? "As of now people are dying evidently people become depressed and aggressive to one and other. They all used to live in harmony and happiness, that was until the 'things started to raise. The 'things' are as you would call it zombies but of greater skill. They disguise themselves as humans yet they will not hesitate to kill you and eat you. If someone is a 'thing', automatically presume them dead, or at least soon to be dead. It will always take about 2 weeks to become fully changed, hopefully you can chop of that body part in time for the infection to stop. If you can't, put an end to your soon to be painful and horrible turn/death. These beings as I announced only a moment ago, look exactly like a human, two way to tell if they are one or not, their attitude and their eyes. They don't have emotions, only hunger and let me tell you, they will go out of their way to eat you, they will speak but it will sound different... Deformed almost. The eyes are usually the first to become infected, they become slightly red at first, as time progresses so does the intensity of the color red in the eye. The color in their eyes they once possessed, will seem dull, it will seem as if they are unfocused or unfamiliar with their surroundings. That is all I can tell you for the moment Lexi, but know their are people waiting for your arrival, and we are waiting for you to end this suffering race." I could tell something was off putting about her voice, as if she was lying straight through her teeth

Zombie Rot by 56QueenBee

Idk if anyone's ever written something like this, but it sounds pretty cool in my head. Sterek and zombies. Zombie apocalypse. And yes there are still werewolves/Coyotes/ect., but that's it, no other supernatural's. The werewolves healing abilities pretty much stop them from becoming a zombie. Instead becoming more feral like, as if a lighter version of rabies- rouge wolves- like crazy Peter. ------------------------ It all starts with a bad idea, stiles and his group of survivors trying to find somewhere safe to hide. How bad can taking refuge in an old town, and old burnt up house be when you've got zombies literally searching for living flesh to chew on. Stiles kicks aside his four barrel shot gun as Scott watches him angrily beat at what must've been an old table, or door side table of sorts, after losing a member of their group. She was strong, and close to stiles as they bonded over their versions of how the whole world wreck started. Of course that's besides the point when a hunky man, or correction, werewolf man drops down the steps of the broken home. Then again, that certain werewolf seems to have Both caught and given his attention to stiles. The human finding the large muscled, broad, stone faced, blunt man just as interesting as the wolf found the rambling, loud, leading, beautiful Human, interesting. How a connection grows, even with impending threats and struggles digging at their ankles with ever step, and becomes something so crazy, so much larger, and so much more. ------------------------- Stiles's group: Stiles- human Malissa- human Noah- human Chris- human/ hunter Allison- human/ hunter Amber- human David- human Kira- kitsune Scott- wolf Jackson- wolf Ethan- wolf Aiden- wolf Derek's group: Derek- wolf Kai- wolf Cora- wolf Peter- wolf Isaac- wolf Boyd- wolf Erica- wolf Malia- coyote Danny- human Deaton- human/ doctor Zombie TeenWolf baby 😉 Enjoy please. 🙏 🥹

Danger by valintiena

It was a normal day before everything went up in flames. A nature research facility exploded, covering the town in a thick cloud of purple smoke, turning every bug and insect into giant mutants out for blood. People ran every which way as the world we once knew went down in flames. Blood filled the streets as the ones left only watched in horror as their loved ones got eaten alive. Five groups of survivors-that's all that was left of the once overflowing town. The new Humanity group, the new government and law enforcers. God's Saviours, the ones who think they are chosen by God himself to create a new world. Mother Nature's group they are the ones planting new crops, living off the gifts Mother Nature provides for them. Scavengers, the protectors, the ones not afraid to stand face to face with danger. They kill the mutants and go outside the gates to collect stuff from the outside world. Then there are the Traders; they buy stuff from the Scavengers, trading it with the other groups for other goods. If you want something, ask them and they will get it for you, but only for the right price. They try and build a semi-normal life. But will the survivor ever restore the humanity of their beloved town? Or will this fragile new order be built on the same vicious power structures that defined the old world, the one that was controlled by the mafia? When the legendary assassin, The Red Serpent, re-emerges from the shadows, their presence threatens to shatter the peace. The Humanitarians send their most dangerous enforcer, Jackson Stone-a cold-hearted killer driven by his own dark secrets-to hunt them down. He only finds himself drawn to the one he was told to hate. In a town drowning in monsters and blood, the real war is about to begin between the leaders who crave power and the killers who crave each other."

Violent, not only violent human but a brainless one who will just chase another to eat their flesh. Eating a human flesh is their needs to satisfy their hunger. Yes, they are humans but that was before, before this stupidity starts. They are not humans anymore. Do you think humanity will remain and stands in this craziness? Or it'll be gone too? People are running for their lives. People are running to survive. And some people are fighting for humanity. Why they are running? Running from whom? "Ofcourse! Running away from zombies!"
