The zombie epidemic was quick to come. Everyone dyeing and coming back as one of the living dead. Losing my mother took a lot out of me and it meant I was alone. I had to learn to survive without guidance or a companion. I learned to live in the forest outside of a town. Killing zombies everyday and trying to live for what? I don't know, until one day I come upon another survivor. Hunter is his name and he teaches me why I'm still alive. He makes all the bad things disappear. He is the one to finally give me everything I could ever want, a family. Even though it's a zombie apocalypse, I have something to finally live for.All Rights Reserved

The Altered. by _fiinch_

guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.) Banner credit to @itsnothardtodreamx 1st Place winner in the 2020 Spring Awards! Runner up in the 2020 Harmony Awards! 2nd place in the Belle Amé Awards 2020!

The Lost and the Dead Book 1: The Uprising by BountyHunterVick1230

It has been many years since mankind has seen the horrors that was the Uprising: an unforeseen event which has caused mankind's demise, as the unknown virus spreads like a wildfire all throughout the globe while humanity turns on itself in order to survive, leaving those unlucky face-to-face with the virus to turn into ravenous, cannibalistic zombies. In the old ruins of North America, it has turned into a lawless land where the zombies prey on the weak with the thugs and criminals lurking around the corners to pick off what remains. However, through the hellfires of the apocalypse, a legend was born out from redemption, revenge and determination; a bounty hunter named Hunter Vick. Join him on his journey as he travels through the vast wastelands in order to stop a civil war between his two biggest clients, uncover the secrets of a hidden faction which threatens to destroy everything, and overcome a personal obstacle which has haunted him for years. With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Hunter is the lone ranger, the only one that could possibly save everyone from their eventual demise if nothing changes. He will have to overcome some of the greatest obstacles in his life from mutations to Hunter killers to morale questionings. Can Hunter muster the strength required to save everyone, or will he fall like the billions of other survivors before him? He doesn't have much time, his sanity is running out, and his will to live will be put to the ultimate test in what it truly means to live up to your fate and destiny. But it doesn't really matter now, because in this cruel, twisted world, there are two types of people: the ones who are lost, and the ones who are dead.

Undead Mute by Spirit_5758

"You killed him!" Savanna shrieks. "I had no choice!" "Yes, you did! You didn't have to pull the trigger!" Savanna shrieks again. "He's dangerous! Are you insane?" "He's not dangerous! He was my friend and you shot him!" Savanna cries. "Stop being stupid. Let's get out of here." "No! Let me go!" Savanna growls. --- An apocalypse is among us and no one is safe. Zombies eat humans to survive, and humans kill zombies to survive. It's the natural order of the zombie apocalypse, but when a human girl named Savanna meets a zombie boy that isn't like any other she befriends him. He's confused and terrified of both kinds and is frustrated when he can't speak or understand the zombie's language. Why is this particular zombie different? Will he change like the others and kill the humans, or stay the way he is?

They Call Me Daring by GreenPastels

Let's get one thing straight here, I'm not a hero (I totally am, but I hear that these days being modest is in fashion or something, so I don't know man). I never planned on being a hero. It kind of just happened. Clark's the bigshot. The fame, the girls, the attention. Me? I'm just his loser younger brother. Another rich Trackerson kid, but that quiet one with no personality. I'm kidding. I'm funny. I promise. I have to be. The name's Liam. The apocalypse wasn't easy on anyone, but it was harder on some. We made it okay. My family lives in a mansion, and we basically run this town. I come from a line of famous zombie-hunters. Not me, though. I kind of suck. I was never supposed to get bitten. I'm running out of time. I'm turning, and it's happening fast. People are rising up, feuds are breaking out, the world is ending all over again; and it's all up to me to stop it. Or something. Crazy, right? Anyway, I've got to go. I guess the good part is, if they find out my secret-if they kill me-at least not many people are going to miss me. I just hope they get my name right. L-I-A-M. It's not hard. Please, for the love of humanity, remember my name. Whatever they call me after all this, remember my name.

Dystopia Rising by GravityWillFall01

The world ended long ago, riddled with plague and zombies and destruction. But humanity survived, and humanity evolved. The Infection that helped bring the world to its knees also changed humans in ways to help them keep living in this now broken world ready to be rebuilt. Seven lineages with three strains each, and each have their own unique set of traits that help us survive. But that's not what this story is about-at least, not really. This story isn't about how a hero will rise and bring the world back to what it was Pre-Fall. This story is about me, an ordinary Remanat living life through the world day to day as a mercenary. A beginner mercenary as everyone likes to remind me. The others in my group have been calling me 'Rookie' since I joined them three months ago. I'm beginning to wonder if they actually know my name. We have been hired to help the New Reach Caravan travel across the wastelands to Philly Del Phia, and this is the perfect opportunity to show them that I'm not just a dumb Rookie. I'm actually quite good at my job. I just happen to get distracted by one certain Eight-Ball, but it's not my fault he's good-looking, and charming, and funny... Anyway, all I have to do is help my group get the caravan to Del Phia. Should be an easy enough job. Just avoid the zoms and keep clear of the Raiders, and we should be fine... Right? Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! or its characters, nor do I own Dystopia Rising LARP. This is just my Rookie's reaction to the Dystopia Rising New Adventure in the Zombies, Run! App.

Nightmare by DerekBolton

"Dreams. Everyone human has them. Some believe in them. Some think it's a pigment of their own imaginations. It's soothing to see yourself in a beautiful world. And it leaves you full of hope when you wake up. But there are days when you won't have these sweet dreams. No more beautiful worlds with bright sunsets, sweet flowers and rainbow bridges. Instead, you see pain, horror, gore and darkness. They wake you with a fright and leave your bed wet with sweat. And these are known..........as nightmares. But this is not a nightmare you wake up from. This is everlasting torment. This is my story............... my nightmare." Candace once beautiful world is turned into an everlasting doomsday as bio-hazardous gasses are released into the atmosphere, Turning all mankind into walkers. Undead man-like creatures that now roam the earth. A single bite from a walker and you join the parade. With her parents now walkers, Candace remains earth's last hope for survival.

Killing the Dead by RichardMurray

"This zombie, this pathetic shell of a human being who would have been nothing more than a victim to me just days ago had scared me. Me! I was the one who scared others. I was the one who brought fear and death." Meet Ryan, the quiet unassuming serial killer from the north of England. Caught up in the end of the world when the zombies rise, eager to deprive him of all of his potential victims. A world turned upside down, a serial killer with more than enough zombies to kill to perhaps quench even his thirst for blood and a fine line between killing the living and Killing the Dead. Please note this series contains adult themes, violence and some swearing.

Not Unique by BlissHikaru

When a zombie apocalypse hits the world on its National Thanksgiving, in less than 24 hours, villages, cities, towns, entire countries are wiped out. Gone away into the dust, to never be seen. Nah, they all emerge as mindless angry creatures that would destroy anything in it's path to get a drop of your blood. Zombies. Not just the regular zombies you see in TV. Not the slowpokes, dumb, crazied flesh-eating monsters. No, these zombies can see, smell, run, climb, they can imitate and God help us they understand and not simply imitate. What happens when these zombies begin to gain intelligence? Every living thing evolves and if it doesn't; it's not worthy of being called 'living'. So when the remaining of humanity remains unmoving, stagnant but the zombies keep growing in mass, intelligence, strength; living. Living on the bare minimum, working your back, seeing loved ones day every single day, hearing screams of help from all around you but knowing how you couldn't do anything. This is a world where surviving wasn't... surviving. Living hurts. This is a world where even horror die-hard fans would rather not be in. For you to live, you have to be insane. And thankfully for one of our characters, they've gone insane.

Dead Man Walking (CANCELLED) by StormShade53

A deadly virus outbreak spreads across the country causing families to split and fall apart. Survivors must rise and defend their people. But what happens when some of those survivors are so young, they don't know how to defend themselves?

Better off Undead by RamzoWily

Zombies were just the beginning. Greater horrors wait out in the night... Eli had never really gotten along with people. Not his family, his friends, his fellow students, or his co-workers. All he ever wanted was to withdraw from the world into his music and video games. When his internet connect goes out for seemingly no reason he's annoyed, but when his power also goes out, he realizes there has to be something wrong. So he finally decides to do what he has been trying to put off for weeks: go outside. As soon as he does, he discovers the world is not the same one he remembers. Now the world is full of monsters - the walking, flesh-eating, undead variety. Now the loner Eli is forced to run with a small group of survivors just to stay alive. But while he is busy trying to find out where he belongs in this new post-apocalyptic world, the terrors continue to grow out there in the darkness. Soon, Eli will learn that there is more to survival than staying one step ahead of the monsters. Soon, he will learn that there are more frightening things waiting for him in the darkness than zombies... Come enjoy this horror story like no other, inspired by monster movies, video games, comic books, TV shows, and the musical stylings of horror rock bands.
