apocalyptic death dystopian survival

Gwen, a 13 year old girl originally from Manchester, has been found, along with many other living things, by an apocalypse. She battles against mutated animals, cannibalistic cannibals and inedible green water, whilst still trying to grip on to her sanity. As she slowly goes crazy, Gwen realizes that she must try and make the most of whatever's left of her life rather than just sitting in an underground bunker rubbing open wounds with dried fruit. Whilst struggling to find her father (who was once a successful magician), it is clear to her that there is only one illusion here in the wasteland, trust.

Virulence Immune by LittleRaven94

It took barely over a month for the epidemic to spread across the globe. Contrary to belief, the world didn't end with a bang and neither did it go quietly. No. It ended one scream at a time. A little more than a year has passed since the outbreak swept over the planet and annihilated a good portion of the living. Perri was one of the lucky ones who managed to evacuate with the military escorted buses in those early days of the spread. But, that luck didn't last. After one too many tragedies, she had decided to finally leave the, so called, "safe zone". With her main objective being the search for her best friend, she finds more than she bargained for. Her blood is death. Her blood is virulent. Her blood is life. Salvation is hers to give.

Freerunner by Orenouta

World War III has erupted. Our 16 year old rebel Rose has spent her whole life living on an army base. She wants out, so when four boys from an enemy country are captured, she can't help but be drawn to them. They could hold the key to her escape. With a lot of courage, faith and sneaking around, can Rose finally escape the hell she's been living or will she end up worse off than before?

The Island by AmyJohnson895

"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

After a deadly attack on her home she is forced to go out in search of this fabled safe-haven to fulfill her brothers greatest wish: to find Paradise.

Ardamin Tales: Number 3 - Viridian. by RGTully

A seven year old girl trying to survive the zombie apocalypse in a fairly small city in rural New Mexico. This is the third in my short story series taken from the universe created for my first book. Ardamin: Clone #7. These short stories are more horror focused than the main book. But how can you tell the story of a zombie apocalypse without some horror? This story is unedited and first draft as keeping with my first two short stories posted to Instagram and therefore will not be polished or fixed with multiple drafts leading to an end product. This story was meant to be raw or just as it poured from my head. Spelling and punctuation errors are only to be expected, if the cause you some offence well... that's just the way this story was made. It is not meant to be refined but like living such a scenario would be, rough.

Dying Light - Simulata Exitium (English) by Vegas3301

After the Harran outbreak in 2014 and the global contamination in 2021 known as "The Fall", humanity is threatened with extinction by hyperaggressive zombie creatures that currently dominate the food chain. With few places left with hope in the world, the human race resists as it can and fights to the end, even though they don't know if there is a possibility of finding a cure. Hannah Vegas is one of the few survivors of this huge and dangerous world taken by constantly evolving monsters. Once a valuable guinea pig and now a wanderer, she has unbelievable skills that encourage her to face even the most feared night creatures known as volatiles, but she often suffers from visions and nightmares that lead to a sudden amnesia. This memory loss caused her to forget parts of her past and she has been fighting this condition ever since. Hannah's life changes completely when soldiers in blue and red vests meet her and say things that make her even more confused. Being constantly chased and attacked by them for unknown reasons, she finds shelter and something to fight for when she joins a hidden and humble group of survivors in Colorado. As time goes by, Hannah takes comfort in the shelter and begins to share her problems with the survivors of the group. She learns new things and shares what she has learned with her former groups in other parts of the United States. Doubts arise as more things happen and solutions appear when she finds out that the biggest problem of all has been right under their noses all along. Literally. This story takes place after the events of the Dying Light game franchise. I hope you like it and have fun.
