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.

Lost In Lucidity by Ink_Wielder

"Last night, I had a dream the world ended. Half the population disappeared, and unfathomable eldritch beasts shambled out of an unending darkness." In a world with no sun and bloodthirsty creatures roaming the all consuming dark, the only places still safe are the small compounds that managed to get walls up before all came crashing down. Now, life is simple. Stay inside the walls, and you'll stay alive. It's not relatively easy anymore, though. With no one for company but each other, danger lurking only a few yards away from their homes, and half of their loved ones swept away in a mysterious event known only as 'The Vanishing', the morale of the populous is at an all time low. It's only getting worse for some, as their cities that are supposed to be providing for them are failing to do so. Survivors Wesly and Valentine aren't content with this, however, especially since Val's mother desperately needs life-saving medicine that the city just won't send. With no other options, the two journey outside the wall to study the monsters beyond, selling the information they find to the city in exchange for their support. While dangerous, they manage the task fine until one journey out they stumble across a disturbing, gruesome revelation that reveals not only more about the city, but the end of the world as a whole. As the duo begin to pull on the thread and tangle themselves slowly into its snare, they begin to realize there's a lot more to this apocalypse than they ever could have imagined, and that the horrific beasts they've been studying might be the least of their concerns...

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola

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. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice. Warning: Contains sex, some violence, occasional foul language, and adult issues. Genre: Science Fiction, Romance, Post-apocalyptic, Dark romance Length: 84,468 words This book has been published on Amazon.

Cold Ashes by SilverGalaxySkies

Disclaimer:- This was written by me 4 years ago during my years at college. It's far from perfect, but I hope everyone can see where I have improved. For my latest works, please see Varna. Thanks! The world is long gone. The old ways of kindness and compassion as dead as the corpses that now stalk the Earth. In the depths of this zombie apocalypse 17 year old Ryan has survived through it all where his family hasn't been as lucky. Scavenging all he can find, his world revolves around one basic, cruel fact - that any day could be his last. But then the impossible happens. Suddenly his world changes and all around him feelings and people he never knew existed slice through his heart like an icy razor. He sees things that he only ever heard in fairy tales or even the world before, things that he thought were impossible. Can he stay alive long enough to save his friends from the insanity of Boss? And is it possible that he can learn to care about humanity again? A teen thriller with plenty of twists, turns and drama on every page. Has been officially completed, but I have ideas to expand it. If you want more, tell me so and I will begin the planning ^~^

When Life Stands Still by Zancherie

The world came to an end very unexpectedly. A scientific invention gone wrong. The virus spread through a being that was being modified and experimented on. Within few month the human population on the earth reduced to a mere 35%. The rest?? Cold, Unfeeling, emotionless, and dead walking corpses. This is the beginning of hell on earth. Having known nothing about the outside world his entire life, Ash Kage finally gets the chance to venture outside. Only the world is not what he expects it to be. Every step needed to be threaded carefully. Every breath taken softly and every decision made wisely. Even after joining a group of survivors, he is not safe. His ability is both a blessing and a curse. There are people who want to destroy him, other who want to study him and then there are those who want to use him. Whom to trust? Whom to hate? The question becomes blurred when memories of a past life resurfaces. And to make matters worse there is a man who shares these ability. Rhys Grant seems to hate Ash for a past the boy doesn't seem to be aware of. Two people who are attracted and repelled by each other fighting against their instincts. How will their lives unfold? How will they survive? This story is also being posted on royalroad.com https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/32976/when-life-stands-still-bxb If this story is found on any other sites, it is considered as a violation of copyright claims. Highest ranking achieved: #8 in human experimentation #9 in infected #14 in plague Disclaimer: this is a BL story that means both the main characters are boys. Its also tagged as 18+ so be warned. This might not just include sex but also violence, gore, abuse and rape because that's how a real apocalypse is. If you are uncomfortable with that I advice you not to read. And finally, I haven't decided if the ending is a happy one or not so don't expect me to change the plot just because you want a happy ending.

No one knows. This story was original made by me and two other people.... though I went through and change some of the stuff by adding more detail and changing some scenes. The original book will still be published and is found in my stories. **Is basically like a fanfiction of The 5th Wave** Completed before revised Oct. 22, 2017 Completed after revised Aug. 19, 2019

Killing the Dead by RichardMurray

"This zombie, this pathetic shell of a human being who would have been nothing more than a victim to me just days ago had scared me. Me! I was the one who scared others. I was the one who brought fear and death." Meet Ryan, the quiet unassuming serial killer from the north of England. Caught up in the end of the world when the zombies rise, eager to deprive him of all of his potential victims. A world turned upside down, a serial killer with more than enough zombies to kill to perhaps quench even his thirst for blood and a fine line between killing the living and Killing the Dead. Please note this series contains adult themes, violence and some swearing.

The Way You Bleed by ellarose12

The humans believed it would be the one thing that would save them. That their humanity is what seperates them from us. I never truely believed it as a human and now that I am one of them, I know that it's not true at all. - In 1999 the vampires stopped hiding, it wasn't the expected millennium bug but the world did change with the Coming Out. In 2004 the biggest change of all came for Lucy and Mandy when Dominik Rian came back into their lives with one sole purpose, to finish what he started three years earlier. From that ending, this story begins...... Part One: The Human Condition should be read first - http://www.wattpad.com/story/7503506-the-human-condition *contains swearing, adult themes, gore and violence* [ this is a first draft and requires editing ] © 2013 ellarose12
