SLEEPY Pandemic:
Worldwide phenomena in which certain people are falling into comas and/or dying in their sleep. Informally known as Sleepy, the pandemic has two sides, but only few know both.
***
"It picks us off one by one. But as the entities get stronger so do the Sleepy waves. Soon nobody will be awake. Or alive."
***
If they survive, they wake to a normal day, dreams forgotten.
Die once, and they fall Comatose, stuck in the Zone.
Die twice, and they become the very things they once ran from.
***
What happens when the whole world falls asleep?
16 year old Dakota Winsely is an insomniac teen juggling school life and strange things. She lives with her mother and her one-year-old little brother, struggling at night to keep her hallucinatons at bay. The insomnia drugs never work, and she's given up trying.
When the SSS pandemic hits the U.S and her mother falls Comatose, she is forced to move in with her aunt and uncle to the bigger city and Sleepy waves are only getting stronger. New school. New enemies. Chaos swarms the streets as more people fall each day and the citizens don't remember why.
Then the impossible happens. Dakota sleeps a full night. And the things she sees don't feel like a dream...
This is the Zone. Entities. Encounters. Deaths here correspond to deaths in real life. Comatose remain trapped. The rest wake up and just continue to believe in an airborne virus.
But there are others who remember both sides: the waking world and the Zone; The knowledge threatening to put them in more danger than the effects of the pandemic itself.
Dakota is just one of them.

Wander
Sleeping, Eating, Surviving, again... A typical cycle of life in our world-All the same, no matter the age, gender, position, and class... We live to die. But is that all what it really takes? What about the afterlife? The spaces in between time? The endless universe? The beginning of life? The undiscovered existence? Too many questions and possibilities that remained unanswered, yet, we limit our life with the same cycle. But that's better. Keeping those mysteries unsolved is the only way to keep this piece of peace left. However, errors are bound to happen... Or maybe fate just likes to play. Because who would have thought that in the vast and busy crowd around the world, someone was kept in the shadows to protect what must remain unknown from everyone. But hiding in the shadows doesn't really need to be kept out of sight. As the saying goes, the obvious hiding spot is the safest place at all... Choi Hyunwoo is the leader of a kpop boy group called wander. They are one of the most successful groups not just because of their talent but also because of their visuals. On his way to his vacation, Choi Hyunwoo was abducted by one of his obsessed fanboys. He was abused for a month and a half without anyone's knowledge. But Kim Jaehwa, a member of the wander group, was able to find out the situation and whereabouts of their leader. However, saving Hyunwoo led to another event which marked the beginning of unlocking the sealed memory. "Don't explore further. It was left unknown for a reason"

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

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.

A Touch of Scarlet
We're brought into this world to live; eat, learn, sleep, repeat, repeat, and repeat again. Until eventually the time comes when we die. Or at least that's how it's supposed to work right? For some reason I don't think it's working out that way for me. • • • "Thick eyelashes frame deep blue eyes, freckles sprinkle across his pale cheekbones. His thick, tousled-white hair falls messily over part of his right eye. A blush starts to creep into my cheeks the longer I stare but I can't look away-- his features are so unflawed that they seem to resemble some sort of marble-like stone. It's almost as if he's not human at all." • • • Lydia Ames's second last year in high school starts off with an accident where she looses the only family member she has left. As if that's not the worst part already, she also has a permanent reminder of the day's events. However when she meets a certain boy and his friends her whole world changes completely. The question is did it change for the better? Or will it end in the loss of everything and everyone she has left? *This version of A Touch of Scarlet is a first draft = grammar is painfully incorrect* #1 in Vampire: September-November 2015Concluida![Still Reminiscent (A Pre-Apocalyptic Survival Story) [Discontinued]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/328579250-256-k985816.jpg)
Still Reminiscent (A Pre-Apocalyptic Survival Story) [Discontinued]
In the year 2022 a mysterious virus erupts in the city of New Yoke Town. What begins as an isolated outbreak rapidly spirals into a full-blown pre-apocalypse - buildings burn, panic spreads, and humanity is forced to reckon with a world where the living and the dead blur. The story follows multiple survivors - ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, each trying to stay alive in a world going to hell. We meet a hardened "shotgun fellow" whose past haunts him, a crewman uneasy in this new reality, and numerous others trying to adapt to chaos. As society crumbles, the infected - referred to as "turned" - become relentless predators, and survival becomes a matter of constant flight, distrust, and brutal choices. The narrative explores not just the threat of the virus, but the human cost: betrayal, the breakdown of community, and how people react when the rules no longer apply. Eventually, a powerful corporation called the Revert Corporation takes the blame for the outbreak. A "cure" emerges, but only after waves of death and suffering. Some survivors who receive the cure undergo a strange transformation - gaining new powers, or becoming something beyond mere human. The tone is dark, raw and urgent. There's no fantasy system, no supernatural magic setup - just the nightmare of infection, collapse, and the fight to keep one's humanity. The author notes upfront: graphic violence, profanity, sad endings, survival horror. ------------------ORIGINAL STORY-------------------- All Rights Reserved.Concluida
Post Plague Kidnapping - Published!
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.
