Newly infected and trying to survive in a crumbling world ravaged by disease, Emery Stanton comes face to face with the one person she never expected to see again: long-lost childhood best friend, Porter Haywood. He's the last person she wants to be stuck facing the end of the world with, especially after what he did to her. Porter, though, sees this as his last chance to make right his wrongs. Emery must decide if letting go of the past is something she's willing to do with the little time she has left, while Porter must find a way to not only gain Emery's forgiveness, but a way to keep her alive.

The Book of Adventures [EDITING SOON]
A child on the brink of death, and when faced with Death herself, the child just couldn't bear it and he begged. "Lady... Can you please end my suffering?" The lady in velvet cloak looked down at him, confused. 'Why does this human asks for his death? Doesn't he want to live and take revenge on those who have hurted him?' She thought. His peculiarity piqued her interest. And instead of taking the child's life like how he wishes, the lady in velvet cloak took him in. Will life blossom fondly to the child after being abandoned by his family? Will the lady even understand the meaning of life for others? Or will they end up being fond of one another?
