After escaping a stalled elevator into a zombie apocalypse, Emily must learn how to trust people again or risk losing everything in this terrifying world.
*****
For Emily, every day of the last two years have been a blur. She keeps her head down, takes her college courses online, and only goes out to work at her mandatory internship. But all that changes on the day the office elevator breaks down, leaving her trapped when the screams begin. And when the doors finally open, revealing a dystopian world ruined by bloody teeth and disease, Emily is launched into a terrifying run for her life, caught between the strangers she's not sure she can trust and the man-eating monsters that hunger for her flesh. Now she must learn not only how to survive in this new and dangerous world, but also how to overcome her own inner demons before they cost her something more precious than her life.

🏆Amby Awards Round 2 Qualifier 2025🏆 🏆NanoWatts Sci-fi Winner 2025🏆 📣Watthubcommunity Recommended📣 🎊Wattpad's Science-Fiction Ambassador's Pick🎊 The end of the world didn't happen overnight; It happened quietly, and no one could've stopped it. Heartfelt, Massachusetts, was once a loving place filled with lovely people. But that all changed when The Veil broke out. For a group of college students, the once bustling halls of Heartfelt College became a fortress and a prison. The story of Two Worlds, Book 1 runs through the Found Family in a Post Apocalyptic scene. It is the first instalment of an ongoing series. Two Worlds does not start like the traditional way of any zombie apocalypse story where you're hit directly into the thick of things. You'd instead get to see how the world actually changes before, during, and after. This story is not just about survival, it's about holding onto what makes them human in a world that has lost all semblance of normality. But as their world narrows and the threat closes in, the question remains: How long can they endure?

She might be 3,000 miles from home, but shes happy. She's at the school she's always wanted, about to score an internship at a huge children's publishing house, and has a small group of friends who "get" her. On her list of dreams is to experience the ball drop in Times Square, so when her roommate asks her to go she doesn't hesitate to say no. Things turn ugly when one of their friends gets a hold of a drug that turns one night of fun into something straight out of a horror film. Derek Wolcot wasn't always his name. Four years ago at 17 he was pulled from his home in Southern California because of his fathers mistakes, leaving behind the one person he cared about the most. One minute they were planning their futures and in the next he vanished off the grid, literally. When his fathers mistakes catch up with them on New Years Eve life could go either way for Derek and his family. Their lives could be compromised or they might be the only ones who survive. Things become even more complicated for Alice and Derek when their paths cross, Derek knows who she is, but Alice can't even remember her own self enough to remember him. Derek does everything in his power to keep her at a distance, but now that she's back in his life he's finding it hard to let go.Complete

Dangerous People [COMPLETED]
They said that "Changing is part of LIFE.", at least that's what the CSD (Change and Save Department) used to say. They thought they created a "cure". A cure to save many people's lives from sickness, cancer, and all. Unfortunately... They were wrong. It was fine at first... However, their first test subject? It was for no good. Instead of a cure, they made a "virus". The virus is incurable for now. Many people protested against the CSD and the government. It changed.. but it was never saved... They said that once they bit you, in an hour the virus will spread throughout your body and kill you, then you'll be alive but not like you used to be. There are many survivors, but there are also many who have been turned into monsters. They call these monsters, "zombies". The CSD promised that they'll find a cure, but much-lost hope, lost hope for being alive, lost hope for survival. A 17 yrs. the old girl was in between that. Everything might sound and look horrible but she never lost hope for survival. "I'm running out of food.." she kept on talking to herself since there was no one but her. She saw a grocery store nearby so she checked it out if there were food, and fortunately, there was. She stuffed the food in her bag until she heard something. "Is someone there?" She asked, she hoped it wasn't what she thought about but there it was. The zombie's legs were twisted so it will have a hard time catching her. However, she never encountered that close. She stuffed the last food in her bag and ran. She ran to the girl's restroom. When she opened the door there were zombies! It almost caught her but fortunately, nothing happened to her. She ran back but there were more! "Please don't say this is how I'm going to die!" She said to herself. Is she going to die? Who will she meet? Will they survive this cruel world??
