The Inception (Book #1 of The Inception Trilogy)
When the inevitable World War III broke out, no one expected it to last as long as it did. After two years, a meddling scientist decides he'd had enough of the destruction between and within countries. He sets his mind to a dark place where ruthless, indestructible soldiers are possible, and he makes his fantasy reality. For the first couple of months, it seems the experiments are acting respectively, and many of the fighting countries' disputes are solved merely because of their intimidating presence. But playing with the laws of nature is a dangerous game, and nearly always ends in defeat. When the experiments steadily grow independent and realize the power they have, controlling them is out of the question. And now they're running rampant in the streets, lurking around every corner, hiding in every shadow. Humans are untrustworthy of each other, sticking to the rule of every man for themselves, which doesn't at all help the chaotic world they now live in. Evelyn Baxter believes in having your own back; that is, until she meets one of the experiments not quite like the others. -- cover credit: me (manip credit: hazstylestrash on instagram) -- -- trailer credit: brookieismyname -- -- started: January 31, 2016 -- -- finished: May 17, 2016 -- All Rights Reserved © 1DLover121Complete
What Lasts in Us
**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong.

But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.Complete
