Drama

Earth’s Survivors: The Nation
Sandy’s Diary – March 26th
I should start calling this a diary not a journal. It’s funny, but we started these to leave at the cave but then we brought them with us to keep for the children. Now it’s becoming something more, although still for the children, so they can see who we were or are… or both.
I was about to write when I found out we’ll have visitors in the morning. I hadn’t expected it so soon. I wonder if they are people we can make a part of us? I guess we’ll all see tomorrow. I’m excited, but I was already.
Susan and I, well we’re together. As in living, as in sleeping together. I cannot believe I took the step. I didn’t know I could. I didn’t really believe there could be someone out there for me. But she made it clear to me how she felt and that she will go with me where ever I want to go. You know, up until right then, all I wanted to do was go and help Bob and Jan start this Nation. I thought that was all I had in my mind. It wasn’t though. If she asked me not to go, I wouldn’t.
I’ve never known an emotion that could affect such change inside of me so quickly. I’m not sure I’ve even known this emotion before… not like this. People are coming, and that is exciting. I’m with Susan, and that is life. Do you know what I mean? And that means I’m a lesbian. I guess I knew that. It is important to me to know who I am though. To say it, to own it. In our so called enlightened society it wasn’t universally accepted. Oh, on the surface, sure. But not really. And where is that world now? Gone. I guess it’s just us now. We don’t have time to be so judgmental, or for me, to care if I am judged. I’m happy!!! …

Earth’s Survivors: Rising From The Ashes

The end has come for most of the world’s population. Small groups of survivors are picking up the pieces… Learning to live again…

When the sun began to peek over the top of the ridge on the opposite shore of the Black River, everyone filed out to the two remaining trucks. It had been decided that Mike and Jan would stay behind while the others went in search of the stolen truck. They switched on and tested two sets of F.M. radios.

On October 14th, 2029, the sky tore open.

Not with fire. Not with thunder. With silence.

For 11 minutes and 47 seconds, every satellite in orbit blinked. Every power grid on Earth spiked, held, and then collapsed into something new. Scientists would later call it a “magnetospheric inversion cascade.” The rest of us called it The Surge. #Dystopian #Apocalyptic #PostApocalyptic #Horror #Epic Epic, Horror, Dystopian, Apocalyptic

In the heart of the vast and shimmering Pacific Ocean, three young ship boys, each no more than a few years past their childhood, found themselves cast away on a breathtakingly beautiful tropical island. This was no ordinary place; it was a lush paradise adorned with vibrant flora and fauna, where the warm sun kissed the golden sands and the gentle waves whispered secrets of the sea. Yet, beneath this idyllic exterior lay the harsh reality of survival in the 17th century, a time when the world was still largely unexplored and filled with both wonder and danger. #HistoricalFiction #SeaAdventure #DellSweet #KU #Kindle #Readers #BookLovers #Paperback

Run
The scent of stale beer, cheap perfume, and something metallic – blood, perhaps – wafted from a nearby dumpster, a symphony of urban decay that was all too familiar. It was the smell of his life, a life he had tried to shed, but which clung to him with the tenacity of a debt collector. He pulled the collar of his jacket tighter, a futile gesture against the gnawing chill that had nothing to do with the temperature and everything to do with the specter of his former life….

City Limits
The true shift in the atmosphere, however, began with Rico. He was different from the other Crows. He moved with a fluid grace that belied the hardness in his eyes, a charisma that could disarm the wary and beguile the desperate. He wasn’t just another street tough; there was an intelligence in his gaze, a calculating depth that Maya recognized from the patrons at the diner who tipped generously but never met her eyes. He was the lieutenant, the sharp end of the Crows’ spear, and he had started to focus his attention on her. #Crime #Hood #UrbanFiction #HoodNovel #Adventure #Drama #Thriller

Hood Rich
The air in the Marcy Projects was a thick, gritty stew, a permanent miasma composed of exhaust fumes from idling cars, the metallic tang of decay, and the ever-present, acrid scent of desperation. It clung to everything, to the cracked concrete sidewalks, to the faded graffiti that snaked its way up the sides of the monolithic brick buildings, and most of all, to the people. For Marcus, it was the only air he’d ever known, the suffocating embrace of the block that had molded him since birth. #Crime #Hood #UrbanFiction #HoodNovel #Adventure #Drama #Thriller

The Dope Man
Silas and Rook began their pursuit not by following the road Murk had taken, but by anticipating it. They knew the syndicate’s network. They knew the patterns of movement, the likely escape routes. #Crime #Hood #UrbanFiction #HoodNovel #Adventure #Drama #Thriller

The Dope Mans Rebirth
He paused, his gaze lingering on Murk for a beat too long. “You seem like a guy who knows how to maintain things, Murk. Keep things… running smoothly.”
The implication hung in the air, unspoken but palpable. Rico wasn’t just talking about cars. #Crime #Hood #UrbanFiction #HoodNovel #Adventure #Drama #Thriller

Breakout
The Trap

The air hung thick and heavy, a miasma of stale cigarette smoke, cheap weed, and something else… something indefinably rotten. It clung to the peeling wallpaper, to the stained mattress shoved against the wall, to the very fabric of the room itself. This wasn’t just a dilapidated apartment in Harlem; it was a tomb, a suffocating cage built from neglect and despair. Rose-Lee, her eyes sharp and assessing, took it all in, the grime, the shadows, the sense of impending doom that settled like a shroud. Across the room, Alice huddled beneath a threadbare blanket, her eyes wide and fearful, a stark contrast to Rose-Lee’s steely gaze… #Crime #Thriller #Psychological #Readers #Urban
