Call Of Hunt by SiDayDreamer

Before we had the chance to know the world, it was already gone. The undead have taken over the world as the living have gone into hiding, forced to fight for survival. Hiding, not to wait for a cure to be developed or pray one day everything will get better, but to claim back the world that is rightfully for the living. Waiting and preparing in the academy built solely to train the current and future generations. Will my days pass only be spent covered in sweat and blood, and the deaths of our comrades? I don't want that.

the womb's undoing by grovergaines

The most idiotic Four Horsemen in apocalyptic lore are taking the world by storm. Okay wait, that's definitely an exaggeration. They start out small, in Mellow Wells, Texas. But you can be sure: when the Rooney quadruplets run wild, upending the lives of musicians, senior citizens, politicians, one drug dealer and a police chief scarred by past failure . . . it's the beginning of our extinction. No bombs No technology Just pure human stupidity

Fool's Apocalypse by Bptikerpae

Like the start of any apocalyptic tale - an asteroid was headed towards Earth - but did it actually reach its mark? That's irrelevant, the world's gone potty anyway. You're either a murdering maneater, human cattle in a meat market with your flesh on the menu, or privileged enough to avoid such terrors and thus are naturally exploiting those less fortunate than yourself. Either way, there's bound to be some fun in here... surely? Also, there might just be a couple of robots in here too - why not, 'ey? Fancy a look to see how I fare in a life like this? Then take a read, why don't you? If you'd rather pass on it, well... sod you! xxxx

The (Short) Story of the Evil Umbrellas [Completed] by thenonmouse

You wanted to know how I died? It's simple, really. I saw dead people... As umbrellas. And the umbrellas didn't like it. I'm sorry, did you want to hear more? Now a (completed) anthology of short stories, flash fiction, and hopefully quality writing. Expect to find a bereaved mother dealing with an post-apocalyptic wasteland, a hair-raising fairytale, two professional bankrobbers, the original Rick-Roller, and maybe a rubber chicken or two. And... three years later, we've reached 500 reads! Cover by @Lidlesaun. Thanks!

Short stories by Dr_Etienne_Claw

Just some random short stories about a lot of different topics.

Terra Preta by ramose_xiv

In 2027, everything changes when a strange comet lights up the night sky. At first, people are just spooked, but when it crashes, the real nightmare kicks in-an alien virus starts spreading, pushing evolution into overdrive. The world goes wild as nature mutates beyond recognition, and it's revealed that this is no random disaster. It's part of a massive experiment by an alien race called the Korathians, who've been running this test for millennia, just to see how far life can evolve. And now, Earth is their latest lab. As the virus transforms creatures into monsters, humanity struggles to survive. People aren't just battling these new beasts-they're also fighting to keep hold of what makes them human. The lines between who's human and who's not blur, and everyone is caught in a game they never asked to play.

Orbits by renkaye

The inhabitants of planet Earth must take to the stars in order to survive impending extinction. (My contest entry for #ProjectConstellations. Each of the four parts is an individual short story set within the same universe.)

LF Friends, Will Travel by Bainshie

Terrans are not the strongest species in the universe. They are not the fastest species. They are most definitely not the smartest. But Terrans are the loneliest, willing to befriend anything that moves and several things that don't. After humanity nearly made themselves extinct with a "Terran brand oopsie"™, trillions of Terrans awaken from stasis and set themselves upon a Galaxy teeming with alien life, each writing their own story among the stars. Stories of compassion, of anger, of revenge, of justice. Stories of the clever and stories of the downright stupid. But mostly the story of Terrans looking for the one thing that all beings desire: Friendship amongst a lonely universe.

The Final Countdown - Season I by JWCMaher

Four intrepid explorers...no, not quite...adventurers...no, wrong again... Sorry. The Earth blows up. Only four people knew about it. This is their story. _____________________________________ Huge, big, enormous thanks to @writtenbyjkgomes for this amazing new cover!
