I close my eyes again, wishing not for the first time that I could confess all my worries to an adult and have them tell me they know it'll be okay. Those days are gone, though. I have to be strong, have to be confident that everything will work out. No adult is coming to save me from the apocalypse.

2050: The year of the apocalypse.
What would you do if you knew the world was crumbling around you? Would you fight to save a civilization that doesn't want to be saved? Eight children, each possessing a supernatural talent, are forced to ask themselves this question in the midst of death and destruction. While World War III rages on around them, and a race of undead mutants begins to take over, these children struggle to define good and evil and to choose a side in the fight.

Katelyn's Discovery
The story takes place in the year 2115. Oil reserves nearly ran out in the year 2053, causing World War III, which was a devastating 5 year nuclear war, destroying much of the world we call home. Countries and cities like China and New York were blown clean off the map leaving radio active waste in its place. Governments were destroyed and humanity was left to build its self back up. Scientists have developed technology in which slower vehicles can be powered by plant waste. Solar, wind, and hydra technology has been further developed although nothing works the same. All of this is thanks to Mr. Derek Evan Halk who has studied many things. Specializing in Mechanics, technology and biology Derek had it all until he suddenly disappeared with his family. Savannah Halk and her family know something the world doesn't know. She carries the weight of her deceased father's legacy on her shoulders as she tries to keep her family out of harms way. With a brother missing his twin. Another brother struggling to comprehend his emotions. A mother clinging to death of her husband, and a sister who will never know her father. Katelyn comes from an abusive past. She never knew anyone besides her parents. She learned how to read from her parents although after one hundred years books are a rare oddity, so why would they care if she could read or not?

The Undoing Of Heroes | ✓
Heroes. Ever since they showed up, people have gone soft. They're adored, worshipped. Devotion is showered upon them like rain. It's about time someone knocks them off that pedestal they stand on, someone to crush their pillars of faith. Someone like me. A villain. It's perfect. I'll be the undoing of heroes. ≠ disclaimer: very much needs to be edited, very much needs to be less corny and very much needs to be entirely rewritten by me. if you approach it as a goofy, corny, old 2015-esque superhero book then it'll be a great time. i'll be honest and say there are no pulitzers here. completed ✓ highest rank in sf: #9 cover: @narwhellyComplete
Once Again
"It's human nature. It's instinct to survive, no matter the cost." The world has fallen into desolation. The apocalypse has already started and finished, leaving some of the surviving ones with strange powers and mysterious scars. The world has ended, according to some, and is now in a state of rebirth. Others say it hasn't ended yet and that it's only going to get worse. The remaining people have grouped together in packs and gangs, raiding the desolate cities and avoiding the ones called the Destroyers, who capture and torture the remaining survivors. No one is safe. One fifteen year old boy knows this better than anyone. He and his older sister lived together, sticking to the dark alleys of their abandoned city, and survived for years after the apocalypse, until the Destroyers came and took her away, reigning terror on the few who remained in the city. The boy, desperate to find someone to help him save his sister, leaves the city and finds one of the youngest cooperative packs in North America, called the Raiders, comprised of unwanted individuals with the strange powers left from the destruction of years past. Their leader, a destructive insomniac, promises to help him in return for the skills and usefulness this young boy seems to possess, but something disrupting sends waves of unease through the Raiders, something about a forgotten past and talk of a mutiny. "Maybe there's more to life than just surviving." ... Rated C for Caution. Though it's rated mature, there is no bad language or vivid descriptions of sexual contact. It does have very strong themes. Please read the two important notices in the intro. Read at your own risk. Thanks.
