Suddenly, all the armed escorts aimed their guns at Jeffrey. They were worried he might do something rash and ruin his life. Elaine's face turned white. She could not believe Jeffrey would do so much for Carol. She was about to use a trick she had tried before when an urgent alarm blared through the message center. "Fighting has erupted again in Garvos's south district, and many people have been injured or killed!" "All the early-departing Doctors Without Borders have died. We need more doctors to help in Garvos!"

"Agree, and I'll leave you alone. Disagree, and I'll keep cutting your face every ten minutes until you do." Gwyneth watched Liana, who seemed totally mad. "You do realize Asher's about to go bankrupt, right? Is it really worth losing your sanity over a guy who's about to crash?" "How could he be going bankrupt?" Liana stared at Gwyneth, disbelief in her eyes. "Are you lying to me?" Gwyneth scoffed. "Go ahead and look it up online."

“That place was basically destroyed by the former gods who ruled the Sector One planet because Planet Five’s abilities were too low.” Vera looked at her like her whole world had collapsed under her feet. So that apocalypse had been their doing. But how is it possible, she read this book back on Earth and it never mentioned anything like that. The poisoned sky, the dead walking, the broken earth, the endless survival, all of it came from this place. But how had she survived? How had she ended up here? If what Belinda said was true, and if Vera compared the timing, then she had traveled two thousand years into the future inside some crazy book that had treated her world like background damage.

It was time to give his surroundings his full attention. The first thing that struck him was how organized, neat, and well-tended the streets and buildings were. There were no signs of war or nuclear devastation. Not a brick was out of place in the buildings nor a crack in the streets could be found. Sure, it was approaching two decades since the world’s devastation and much of the planet was returning, but not to such a state as this. It was so pristine! The low cropped grass was thick and a deep, rich green color. The flowers were large and healthy to the point of looking artificial. If he wasn’t standing in the middle of it all, he’d have thought it to be a mirage; a dream of what h

“That was… amazing. You’re incredible, Clara.” Mike smiled, pride shining in his eyes. “We couldn’t have done it without you, but you… you carried us through.” Clara hugged them tightly. “We did this together. I couldn’t have done it alone.” AFTERMATH The city slowly returned to normal. The streets cleared, and the residents who had witnessed the destruction whispered of a golden light that had saved them all. Clara’s powers, now fully controlled, shone like a beacon, restoring hope. Back at Mike’s apartment, the team gathered around a table, tired but smiling.

"Vaccine?" Willa froze. Crack. I swear I heard it—her plot armor snapping clean. Didn't wait. A vine whipped out from me and smacked her across the face, leaving a red welt. Just as I figured. This was an apocalypse story—and Willa only thrived in ruins. End the world's collapse, and all her privilege goes down with it. Still, I didn't take her or Gabriel out. Not yet. The crimes they committed? The people would decide.

she continued, “there’s this sound. Not thundering, something far worse. Like the sky is breaking. People start screaming. Some run, others freeze. Buildings begin to shake, then topple. Now you’re caught in the middle of chaos. You can’t find shelter. The earth shakes beneath your feet, lightning splits the sky, and the sun and the moon both go dark. You can’t even remember the last time you saw real sunlight. The world feels like it’s ending.” A long silence. Calvin’s breathing was slower now, measured. Finally, he opened his eyes. “Do you believe in the apocalypse?”

I said comfortingly, "It's fine. It's in the past now, okay? There are too many uncertainties in an apocalyptic world." … Nothing happened in the neighborhood for some time after this round of ransacking. My experience from my past life told me that no one dared do anything in the initial stages for fear of being infected. However, once supplies ran out, people would do anything to stay alive. A month after the outbreak, many people started hanging banners outside their homes, begging to be saved. After so many days, most people would be running low on food and water. I went through our supplies. They would last us half a year if we rationed them.

I dump my bag on the floor and read through the shelf while pulling books out and mumble as I go. ‘Even a book can be dangerous in the wrong hands.’ ‘Ignite.’ ‘Hell is empty and all the devils are here.’ ‘You’ll make bad choices. Sometimes you’ll choose the best of bad ones.’ ‘Tuesday is Fucked.’ ‘Everything’s a game. And now it’s your turn.’ I have a stack of about 10 books before I abruptly stop. "Next isle." I say and we walk up and down the library isles. I climb and jump to get books off of shelves and Aidan has to catch me a couple of times when I fell.

A paper book rested in his hands while multiple surveillance feeds played silently across the large screen before him, displaying views of both the interior and exterior of the bunker. After the Frostfall, without the burden of work, his life settled into a steady rhythm. He had grown fond of reading. Some books had come from the library. Others had belonged to Severin. The one in his hands now was "Ordinary World" by Lucas Wayworth. Reading it in this era carried a strange weight. The ordinary days described in its pages were gone forever. The ordinary world itself now lay buried beneath endless ice and snow. Yet one thing remained unchanged. Human beings, resilient by nature, would struggl
