It started with a simple nose bleed in small town Gritton, Louisiana. No one thought anything of it until everyone got sick. And thats when the death started. It happened so fast, it was hard to know what had happened. The strange disease, code named TAP, hit Gritton and soon spread to nearby cities, and then to all of the United States. Only Astrid and her father are left out of the 3,653 people that lived in Gritton, and with no known survivors, they're stuck on their own to try to survive. Astrid thought the horror was over but was struck with grief when one sunny day in July, her dad becomes infected and dies. He didn't leave anything except for the key to Gritton Louisiana Research Facility. Will Astrid find other survivors and prosper in the midst of this biological emergency? Or will she become plagued too? Read on in Tapped.

O.N.E. VIRUS
How would you stop a mind-changing virus without infecting yourself? Is it even possible? Bryce thought sudden mysteries were over now that ONE was done. But this is only the beginning... Liam Plecak (backpack) had sent everyone home, much to Bryce Hansen (soda bottle)'s delight. It's been three or so years since then. Now, Bryce managed to find a well-paying job after the first year or so, and currently lives in a small one-story house in Rhode Island because of his new job, that being a cashier at a pharmacy, which he himself often confuses with being an actual pharmacist. One day, Bradley Silva invites himself and his son over to Bryce's house. The father and son immediately go out to fish. Bryce isn't happy they are just waltzing into his house to stay, but he needs company and would be lonely without anyone. It isn't long before drama unfolds, and Bradley Silva Jr was bitten by an unknown sea creature. He begins to develop a fever after an hour of contact, and he begins to act rather... odd. Bryce has a job as a pharmacy cashier, but doesn't recall a medicine for some odd behaviors Bradley's son exhibits. When this seems to spread, it is labeled a virus. Many and many people begin to get infected, including some people Bryce used to compete with. This is all getting out of hand... and Bryce needs to fix it... But how can Bryce stop it? What even are the symptoms? No, a better question is... IF Bryce stops it, can he stop the virus from infecting himself? Because this virus is driving everyone, infected or not, to the brink of their sanity.

The Virus Within (Original rough draft)
Back by popular request! The 2017 rough draft of The Virus Within! (Caution: Contains massive plotholes that were fixed in the polished The Virus Within Series. Grammar issues are present, particularly missing commas.) What do you do when you are one of the infected? The virus in my blood is trying to steal my humanity. It alters my very thoughts and reactions. It taunts me by tempting me with desires that it planted in my brain. These bloodthirsty desires would lead to my demise if I ever gave in. I have more in common with the zombies than with humans at this point. Even the fallen zombies accept me as one of their own. Blood is required to retain my grip on sanity, but the sweet-smelling blood from humans is a short path to madness. Human blood is to be avoided at all costs. Humankind around the world was driven close to extinction by the sudden appearance of the zombies, yet small groups of survivors constantly manage to appear and put my control to the test. -------------------------- This is a standalone zombie book. It has nothing to do with A Different Virus. I wanted to try a book with an easily irritated main character and a nutcase secondary character. This book has a slightly darker outlook at the beginning than my usual stories, but it has some humor further along. Definitely not a horror story, although it has its share of action. 4 updates a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday! Copyright April 2017. All Rights Reserved.

A Different Virus - Laura's Story
This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!) This story is copyright and built from my own imagination. This book was a special request from someone who helped me a lot. This viewpoint has less action than the original. The cover was made by @All_AboutAssymetry. A huge thanks to her! Copyright September 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.
