When the World Fell Silent (original story)

When the world ended, Kayla lost everything-her family, her home, and the future she once dreamed of. What remained was a broken land where survival demanded sacrifice and trust was a currency too costly to spend.

Tanner has lived through the same ruins, hardened by loss and determined never to let anyone close again. His only goal: endure the day, no matter the cost.

But when fate throws Kayla and Tanner together, survival takes on a new meaning. Against a backdrop of ash-filled skies, crumbling cities, and the constant threat of danger, they find themselves drawn to one another-two souls fighting to believe that love can still exist at the end of the world.

As the dangers around them close in, Kayla and Tanner must decide if risking their hearts is worth it, or if love in the apocalypse will be the very thing that saves them-or destroys them.
