Throwaways (Ongoing) by BerryBerryMonkies

Five young men are deployed onto a top-secret governmental mission purely for observation. There's only one problem: none of them can follow orders, shoot a gun, or do anything honestly. Truthfully, even I have no faith in them I gotta be honest with you and I'm writing the book for gosh sakes! Maybe the hot girl that was deployed with them can provide some motivation, or even do better. Sometimes even the most forgotten, useless, or expendable people you know, can save lives. And if not? Throw them away.

As Per My Last Email by 7-Adam-15

The year is 2043. The future. Or more accurately; the time of war. Humanity is at war with Anthros - the United Federation - under the charges that the UF infiltrated multiple 'human' nations and detonated their nuclear warheads, utterly ruining their stability. A small team of US soldiers have taken a helicopter after being cut off from the rest of the military, and are trying to get back over the frontlines: Out of recently-occupied enemy territory, when their luck runs dry.

A Sniper in a God Forsaken World by SecretPotatoGuy

It was cold. Very cold. 'How did I get here?' I pondered over and over. Here I was, surrounded by an endless sea of snow covered trees. All around me, I could see layers among layers of snow. I lay there, staring up into the sky, wondering what had just happened. I had died. Or at least, I thought I died. Synopsis: A 34 year old soldier Simo Shephard dies while in active combat, yet instead of waking up at the pearly gates, he wakes up in a different kind of hell. Read as he survives in a world of animal hybrids known as chimeras, and as he tries his best to aid humanity as they dwindle ever closer to a silent extinction. Will he succeed in making a foothold for humanity? Will he change the tyrannical ways of the world? Or will he fail, leaving the fate of humanity to the chimeras. A/N This is the first story I have ever written. I am dumbfounded that people have found this story good enough to read, so thank you to all the readers! I hope you enjoy, and please let me know on any ways that I can improve. Il make sure to upload once a week.
