Out of the Shadows
Alexandra Dalton lives in a crumbling post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by The Enforcement and terrorized by the Legacies, power-wielding humans corrupted by their abilities. But when a deadly encounter thrusts her into the heart of a war for humanity's survival, secrets of her father's past begin to surface, forcing her to choose: fight for the light or be consumed by the darkness. In a world where entire cities can burn in minutes, and nobody can truly be trusted, can she protect her mother and sister-and uncover the truth before it's too late? Excerpt: "Dad?" My voice was no more than a whisper. The tendril caught the woman just as she was about to hit the ground, and in one harsh movement, it tugged her into the darkness. The blackness engulfed her screams, swallowing them completely. I could feel my father pulling on my wrist. His grip was so tight it hurt. Everywhere around me, people were dying. Their shrieks echoed in my ears, and I couldn't seem to move. My hands started to shake as I looked toward the dark sky. The silhouettes of bodies in the air, lit eerily by the theme park's neon colors, littered the sky like stars. This wasn't just chaos-it was the end of everything we knew. Chapters released weekly!

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.

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.

It's The Innocent That Are Victims
Written by Izen Torres January 7th 2003 - February 18th 2022 Rest in peace Won't lie. This story has a lot of plot holes. Like.... A LOT of plot holes. But I had the idea and my brain wouldn't leave me alone until I got it out. So here. Note: this story does have some sexual moments that involve minors. This is a story about a boy named Hazel who got kidnapped by his Uncle's ex-girlfriends brother. (Complicated. I know.) So what happened is a decade ago the Uncle raped the girlfriend and the girlfriend killed herself. The girlfriends younger brother Easton holds a grudge. Kidnaps 14 year old Hazel when he's on his way to visit the Uncle. But honestly it's mostly about Hazel being aware that he's being slowly stockholmed and trying to resist it. Tahdah. Also he loves his dad. Because I realized all my stories are about crappy or absent father's. (I don't have trauma. You do!)Complete

In a small, central Pennyslvania, river town a group of people have carved out a stable existence under the leadership of their Governor and his volunteer militia - the Royal Order of Knights. The only problem? Governor Kramm's daughter. Charli grew up watching (and falling in love with) her best friend as he trained to become an honored Knight and her dream has always been to be one of them. However, her father's current laws won't allow women to serve. When their community falls under attack and she risks her own life to save her father's, will it be her final sacrifice or her proving grounds?Complete
