In the World After: Chapter 8
The Infected howled in pain as a bullet whizzed through its head and he fell at my feet. I blinked and glanced at my hand. The fingers were trembling and I quickly took my finger away from the trigger. Glancing around, I searched for the source of the...
In the World After: Chapter 7
Holy freakin cow! This took long enough! I have finally finished the seventh chapter of In the World After, and I really hope you all enjoy it. * * * A third shot sounded above the ruckus of the hoard trying to find its way towards us....
Nothing I can do
Hey all, here is a little something, a small piece of poetry in a whatever style. I figured I'd regale you with the inner workings of my mind while I wait on Maeve for the next bit of _In the World After_. It's kind of a downer, but try to enjoy it for...
In the World After: Chapter 9
"Hey, where did Aaron run off to?" I called from under one of the 3 abandoned cars we had found on our way up to the mountains. Positioning the empty gas can underneath the gas tank of the car, I carefully pushed the point of a hunting knife to the...
Any Given Day
"God..." Travis was done. Done with work; done with this city; done with life. If the world could be stopped, he would definitely ask to get off. This day, February 14th, a Thursday, hadn't started out any different from most. "Drive safe, please!"...
When the phone rang...
When the phone rang at midnight, I knew I would be dead before the morning. Nonetheless, I quickly gathered all that I could to defend myself; a heavy flashlight, my husband's baseball bat...whatever I could find. The phone kept ringing, relentless...
In the World After: Chapter 4

In the World After: Chapter 5

In the World After: Chapter 2
\*If you didn't read the notes above, READ THEM! Thank you :) 6 years ago was when it all started. A virus, a disease that sprang from the back woods of Scandinavia, fast and incurable. It took only 2 months until outbreaks began to pop up in the...
Finding One's Way; Chapter 2 - Luke
I don't exactly know when I knew for-sure that I was gay, and it probably didn't help that I didn't really know about homosexuality in the first place. I remember struggling to place my feelings and decide whether they were good or not. All I know is...
Finding One's Way; Chapter 1 - Michael
When my alarm went off, I didn't jolt awake like usual. I had slept terribly last night and had been awake already when the alarm began to buzz. Groaning, I slowly reached over turn it off. At 6:30 in the morning, I was as good as dead to the world....
