These stories have been previously published. One story is a novella and one is a full length book. All your questions won't be answered in book 1. We need to fight for the future we want, not the one that's been delivered to us. Taking back our world is a fight we'll never give up on. When fate and destiny collide, one must fight the darkness or be swallowed up. What happens when you're fated to be the very thing that makes you shudder? What if there was a fate worse than death? In this anthology, each hero or book heroine has a dark fate... a marked destiny. Will these inspirational characters survive the cards of fate they have been dealt? Story 1 – APOCALYPSE – UNDERWATER CITY by Chrissy Peebles ***This is a 15,000 word novella*** This series does have dark moments and is intended for mature audiences only. I'm a survivor, living in a post-apocalyptic world. I live deep in the ocean and that's how we all survived the world's greatest catastrophe known to man. I'd often dreamt of a normal life, but sadly, that wasn't what fate had in store for me. Where do I even begin? Let's start from the beginning, shall we? My name is Sky Hammons, and this is my story. It's actually quite like my name, because it is a tale of hope, faith, and new beginnings—like a bright, blue summer sky. Or at least that was what I'd wished for, back when I was naïve and clueless enough to believe it. I really wish my journey could be summed up like that, and at first, it seemed like that might be the case. But then that bright sky darkened, and things fell apart. As if Chicken Little's fears were coming true, my blue sky shattered. They say "The truth will set you free," but I can't say I believe that—at least not anymore. In my case, the bitter truth shook me to my very core. I never would have imagined that life could be so cruel or that people could be so deranged outside of an Alfred Hitchcock script or some awful horror movie, but I learned one thing: Never, ever believe what you're told. I'd been hand-fed lies since birth from my so-called government, and like a mindless drone, I'd happily believed every fraudulent word of the garbage they spewed. Maybe I just wanted that warm, fuzzy feeling; their lies comforted me and allowed me to sleep better at night. After all, who doesn't want peace and hope and goodwill and all those other things splattered in snowy glitter all over the front of Christmas cards? My name is Sky, and this is my story. Story 2 – THE ZOMBIE CHRONICLES by Chrissy Peebles *This is a young adult book series. Each chronicle will feature Dean's struggles as he tries to survive in this new world. And thus the name, The Zombie Chronicles. I hope you enjoy this series, and thank you for giving book one a chance.* Warning: Mild violence. For mature teens or older. Val was bitten by a zombie and now she's scheduled for lethal injection. Breaking all the rules, eighteen year old, Dean Walters snags an experimental serum. But it can't be tested until Val turns into a zombie: something authorities won't allow. Her execution is scheduled to happen before transformation is complete, giving Dean only hours to break her out. When their helicopter crashes straight into the heart of Zombie Land, his rescue mission becomes a fight for survival…and giving up on Val is NOT an option.
