The world ended in ash. The two that walk through the rubble of their world experience both the best and the worst of what humanity has become--when the world ends.


<[{Insert: The characters speak without quotation marks due to the style of writing I use to portray their situation. It's to show that the story is Keane's journal or verbal recounting of the story, rather than just a first-person point-of-view novel. Thus, I apologize for any confusion when reading--the difference in grammar and punctuation helps portray it as more realistic as well as reinforcing the tone and paranoia.}]>

"'I tell the stars about you' Ashlynn broke the silence after they had both been staring at the sky for an ungodly amount of time." Nothing has ever gone right for Noah, it never has. The only time he's had hope was when Ashlynn, his beloved, was still alive. Now he's succumb to the use of the strongest and strangest type of drug known in the Farnworth region to see his one true love again. Every night he restlessly falls into a blissful dream about her, which always ends in a horrific nightmare of the day she left. This has been his life for the past year, never showing his face past the woods which surround his cabin. The townspeople forgot he existed, the forest creatures think he's a walking corpse, and Noah's convinced he'll die soon enough to finally see his one true love, where ever she is. Until some pathetic creature decides to help Noah by breaking into his home shoving him into withdrawal. Observe Noah's journey as you meet old friends, new foes, intriguing frenemies, and fantastically dramatic mood swings which can each be described as their own character. //tw. drug abuse, description of trauma, murder, sleep paralysis, nightmares

But there is one place where Kelly will be safe, only she doesn't know where it is. But she does know one thing, she has to get there, and fast. I let my eyes close.

I know, that this was the last time I would ever see my friends again. They would all perish in the flames. And I would be left here, under rubble and never, ever see them again. I will be the only one left. I will be the only one roaming the planet. No people, not even animals to talk to. For the first time in my life, I will be completely alone. I small voice flashes inside my head, "No ones alone." and with that. The world leaves and I fall into a deep, death like, sleep. #No1 on the search results for The Last Ones standing

MURDERER by Luv4_Ava

JEFF THE KILLER x FEM READER S N E A K P E A K : "I meant what I said, you have potential." I rested my head against his chest for support, taking in the sounds of the woods and his beating organ. My shaking body was frequently punctured by the winter night, slowly, but surely melting away every sign of life in my broken heart. "You need to learn that in order to live, you have to lose. Isaac is the past, us five are your future." All I heard was; "We took away your past, so you would have no use but to follow in our deadly path."
