ATTENTION ALL WRITERS! C'MON!!!

[PioneerChicks]

Lucky XD. Some days I write fast. Other days it takes me ten minutes just to write a sentence.
Then again... scrolling through backyard chickens is a wonderful distraction XD.

Yeah, same for me!

I finished chapter 3. I sorta want to know what people think of chapter 2 before I post it though.

I’ll just keep in in my corner for now.

Dark, but I like it! Nice work!

I was inspired to write a small snippet for my story by y'all. The book is going to be written in 3rd person, even though this is in 1st. This is just a prologue type thing.

Spoiler

Dear Diary,

I never really thought I'd find myself caught in the apocalypse.
Nonetheless in the apocalypse as one of the only adults in a group of teens who met through a social media app.
I mean, sure, some had fantasies and made up stories of the zombie apocalypse, of undead, brain eating creatures. I've read a couple zombie books and watched a few movies. I have thought about what it would be like to be in one of those movies, too.
But what those fantasies, books and movies failed to mention, was the fact that the apocalypse wasn't just zombies, but quite literally the end of the world.
One key element they also failed to mention, was that the apocalypse would be caused by a group of powerful supernatural teens and young adults and the goverment.
One of those young adults being me.
...yeah, we screwed up big time, Diary. — Sintari

Woah. That's super cool! I dont really like dystopian... but I would read this!

 

[SBFChickenGirl]

Here is chapter 4. Chapter 5 will be the last, and it’ll be sad. Is if any of you like this story, it doesn’t end well.

Spoiler: May upset some audiences.

-They brought Drew in. Me and Kelly heard his screams, so we knew beforehand. More people are finding out this company’s secrets, and killing off a new person everyday isn’t helping. Half the workers are gone. After Albert died, they all got suspicious. May, I have a feeling you started all this. I know their story was fake. None of us knew we were designing weapons. None of us knew those weapons would be world destroying. They are deploying them soon. I should’ve listened to you and quit. May. You could’ve just followed their story. Oh, they just brought someone else in. Wait, it’s Michael? Oh no, I think it is. Drew and Kelly are talking to him. Michael has been taking care of me since you left by the way. He’s like a big brother to me. He was the one that made me go back to Dr. Johnson. Michael loves you more than I did. He looked up to you when you guys were growing up, he always wanted to be like you. He talks about you all the time, always telling stories of you two getting into mischief. Wait, what are they doing? Oh no, May this can’t be happening. Well, I’ll see you soon I guess. I know you’ll never read this, but I love you. I’ve told you so many times, I’ve written it so many times. Losing you felt like losing half of myself, the better half to be honest. I hope to see you soon.

Ah, I love the confession of love. So sweet.

Woah. That's super cool! I dont really line dystopian... but I would read this!

Thank you!
It's a little bit of everything, main focus is fantasy/apocalyptic and dystopian world, but I like to have well built and diverse characters, so it really focuses a lot on their personal struggles and growth. It will have a good ending, if that's any consolation, lol!

 

[Ihavesomechickens]

Here’s chapter 5. The ending is sorta sad in my opinion. It has descriptions of death and despair, and has some apocalyptic themes. It also contains mentions of smoking. If any of those things trigger you, do not open the spoiler. Now that got that out of the way, enjoy the ending.

Spoiler: Open at your own risk.

-May, we have been in here for days. Me, Drew, Kelly, and Michael. I don’t even know how they got Michael, he doesn’t work here. He hasn’t spoken since they locked us in. Most of us haven’t. I think Drew is going crazy, he tried to eat the papers on my desk, we had to stop him. The only thing here close to food is water, and we only have a few gallons left. We tried to open the doors, they won’t work. Kelly tried to break the door, she dislocated her shoulder. The windows won’t break nor open. I should go, I’ll update everyday.
Update 1.
Drew is gone. He smashed his head against the window too many times. It was a horrifying death, we all got blood all over us. Kelly suggested eating Drew, but Michael quickly shut that idea down. He’s talking now, but he is struggling. He barely stayed okay living normally, he won’t last long like this.
Update 2.
Nothing much happened today. We moved Drew over to an empty corner and covered him with a spare area rug. Using an almost empty bottle of Windex, we were able to clean the blood off the windows. I sort of wish we hadn’t. They launched the bombs. They didn’t comprehend that launching off forty-two nuclear bombs at once wouldn’t end well. The whole place is a desolate wasteland. I don’t know how we survived, but we did. There are dead bodies everywhere.
Update 3.
Michael finally gave up. It’s been a week and a half since we got locked up, and he finally died. We don’t know how, we just woke up in the morning and he was dead. Me and Kelly put his body with Drew’s, and we can smell it everywhere. We are running low on water, I’ll probably be the next to go. May, I don’t know what to say. You were right, but I already knew that. I guess I can only say I love you. I know that probably doesn’t mean much anymore, you’ve been dead for weeks. But I really do. I have given up on there being an afterlife, so I probably won’t see you again. I remember the last thing I said to you. I was working, and you had it take a water break. I told you that you couldn’t take too long of a break, or I might die. You laughed and walked over to the water cooler in the hallway. I never talked to you after that. You never saw me after that. May, I miss you. I just want life to go back the way it was. We would work all day, then come back home and watch tv till midnight. I remember back then the only thing we cared about was if a new season of our favorite show was out, or if we had enough chips left. Those were the days.
Update 4.
Me and Kelly are spending our time looking through pictures I have of us. Our wedding was only a couple months before you died, you looked beautiful. I failed you May. I started smoking again, I still do. I only had a pack of cigarettes in my desk, and my last one I’m going to use later. Kelly hates it, she says now's as good a time as ever to quit. She doesn’t know anything, but we never really talked before now so I don’t blame her. I have a horrible headache, I should stop writing. May, I miss you. I know I’m never going to see you again, but I still miss you. Goodbye May, for real this time.-




You look down at the pages, a single tear rolls down your face. You stare at the now destroyed building, realizing all of those innocent workers that died here, starving and watching the world collapse around them. Your gas mask rubs against your now red skin, a blister starts to form. You put the now tattered journal in your pouch, and walk away.

 

[RiverStorm]

Here is the first chapter of a long story I am currently writing. I know it’s horrible, I have just been writing it in my spare time.




-I look around. My coworkers are all chatting to each other, but hey, that’s what lunch breaks are for. I sit by myself, watching them. I don’t return the friendly smiles or attempts at small talk. I just sit. I don’t touch the food Michael packed so carefully for me. My hunger just isn’t as strong in this room. All the spitting, dirt, gum stuck to the underside of the tables. It’s like they are middle schoolers. I stand up and push my chair in. I see a few faces stare up at me, but most are too engrossed in their gossip to notice. I walk out of the bland room into a nice, brown hallway. Everything is brown. A bland, dirty brown. My office is at the very end, next to the storage room. I used to have a cubicle in the big, open area most people are in, you remember, but after what happened they decided it would be best if I had my own space. I wish you were still here May. If you had been here, none of this would’ve happened. You would’ve stood up for me, they wouldn’t of done what they did. I’m so sorry May. I should’ve done more, I should’ve told someone. I should stop thinking about what I should’ve done, it just makes it worse. Micheal misses you too May. He cries at night, we all do. I should probably stop writing now. Lunch break is over in a few minutes, and I should get back to work. Goodbye again May. I hope you like it there.-

Okay, I finished chapter 2 VERY early. It’s not very long though.

I’m going to put this one in a spoiler because it contains mentions of smoking and depression, so it may trigger some people. Click at your own risk.

Spoiler: Contains brief mentions of smoking, depression. May be triggering to some audiences.

-I still can’t believe what they did to you. I wanted to tell someone, the authorities, anyone. I couldn’t. I failed you. I’m doing it again, just so you know. I started smoking again. I didn’t want to, I just couldn’t help myself. You worked so hard to get me to quit, it just makes me feel worse about the whole thing. Dr. Johnson, you know, the guy I went to before you came? I started going back to him. I didn’t tell him what they did to you, I couldn’t. I know they would find out if I told someone, and then I would meet you again. Well hey, that wouldn’t be too bad. I haven’t seen you in months, well, the last time I saw you was Valentine’s Day. You wouldn’t know though. Oh god they are coming in. I need to stop. Goodbye again May. I hope you like it over there.-

Okay, here is chapter 3. It contains sorta graphic details of death, but they aren’t descriptive or anything.

Spoiler: May trigger some audiences.

-Oh god. May, they did it again. They did what they did to you to Albert. I was walking to the bathroom and I saw Kelly open the door. He just fell out. I heard her scream. I heard me scream. They came after hearing us both. They told everyone else not to worry and put Kelly into my office with me. She is still in shock. I have her in the corner, drinking some coffee. She reminds me of me when I first found you, except I was more distraught. You were my wife after all, May. Albert was just Kelly’s coworker, but it would still scare her. He almost looked worse than you did when I found you, but you had been in there longer. I never did tell you how I found you. I’ll just tell you now. You had been gone for three months. They just said you were at an emergency business meeting, and I just believed them. It was Valentine’s Day. I had got you a little pink teddy bear for you to see when you got back, it was cute. I opened your door, and I didn’t see you in there. I walked over to put it on your desk, and you were there. Your body was there at least. It was crumpled on the ground, halfway decomposed. I screamed, I mean who wouldn’t. They quickly came in and shut me up. I don’t know what they did with your body, but there was no evidence anyone had ever been there the next day. They told everyone I was crazy, that I had problems. Oh god, now I’m remembering how Michael responded when I told him. He was your brother after all. I remember the horror on his face. He tried to call the police, but I had to explain to him that it wouldn’t do anything. Remember how I’ve been saying I don’t know why they did it? I was lying, I do. They did it because they knew you knew. May, why’d you have to dig deeper? You should’ve just left the loose ends loose. You should’ve just left the holes in their story as they were. May, I miss you. It’s a pain just getting up knowing you won’t be there with me. Kelly is trying to talk to me now, I should go. I love you May. I hope you like it where you are, wherever you are.-

Here is chapter 4. Chapter 5 will be the last, and it’ll be sad. Is if any of you like this story, it doesn’t end well.

0-0 I love these! It flows together so well, over it's length May and the MC seemed so nice, and it kept that creepy feel while feeding information!
