When Karina Wicks takes her father to a nursing home, she believes he'll be safe-cared for by professionals who understand his mysterious decline. But on his very first night, something strange begins. A fever. A rash. Behaviours no one can explain.

Registered Nurse Jenna is left in charge of ninety residents with little more than her fading confidence, while Georgia, an Enrolled Nurse, fights to hold herself together as the illness spreads through her own body. Sandra, hardened by years of aged care, recognises a truth no one wants to admit: whatever this is, it's moving too fast to control.

By the time the Department of Health locks the doors, it's already too late.

Now trapped inside, staff and residents must confront not only the terrifying sickness consuming them, but also their own fears, grief, and fractured hope. And when the sun finally rises, the question remains-are they witnessing freedom... or the beginning of the end?

A haunting tale of love, survival, and the fragility of human resilience, Outbreak asks: what would you cling to when the world begins to unravel from within?

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola
8 parts Complete
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice. Warning: Contains sex, some violence, occasional foul language, and adult issues.

Heartbroken and fueled by grief, Gracie finds solace in her friendship with Amelia, another survivor who understands the horrors of their new reality. As she confronts the darkest corners of humanity and the horrors of a world where trust is as scarce as resources, Gracie must navigate her quest for revenge while grappling with the depths of her own morality.
