A secret unknown mission, a shot down helicopter, a guilt-ridden heart, and no name.
  
  Yep, that sounds just about right.
  
  I came to Abel Township for one reason only, but after the unfortunate event of my helicopter being shot down by a rocket launcher of all things, I'm apparently going to be staying here a lot longer than planned. Because of it, I'm going to have to play nice in order to survive, which is a lot harder than it seems. Everyone carries a burden with them, me included.

  I'm a runner, and until I leave this pathetic little settlement I'm going to do my job, and run. But one of the things I'm learning it that nothing is ever as it seems. Each piece of the puzzle brings another question, another addition to the story shrouded in mystery and dripping with sinister intent. Maybe this settlement is as pathetic as I thought it was. Maybe my helicopter was shot down for a reason.

 I cannot wait around for an answer. I learned that long ago. Now deemed Runner Five, I have decided I will do what I have to do to find out every mystery here in Abel Township. And I'm going to start with my actual mission.
  
  What is Project Greenshoot...
  
  And how will it help this settlement survive the zombie apocalypse?
  
  
  
  
  Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies Run or it's characters. The only characters I own are the ones I created all by myself. This is my Runner Five's perspective on the missions in season 1 and just in Abel Township. Hope you enjoy.

Dystopia Rising by GravityWillFall01

The world ended long ago, riddled with plague and zombies and destruction. But humanity survived, and humanity evolved. The Infection that helped bring the world to its knees also changed humans in ways to help them keep living in this now broken world ready to be rebuilt. Seven lineages with three strains each, and each have their own unique set of traits that help us survive. But that's not what this story is about-at least, not really. This story isn't about how a hero will rise and bring the world back to what it was Pre-Fall. This story is about me, an ordinary Remanat living life through the world day to day as a mercenary. A beginner mercenary as everyone likes to remind me. The others in my group have been calling me 'Rookie' since I joined them three months ago. I'm beginning to wonder if they actually know my name. We have been hired to help the New Reach Caravan travel across the wastelands to Philly Del Phia, and this is the perfect opportunity to show them that I'm not just a dumb Rookie. I'm actually quite good at my job. I just happen to get distracted by one certain Eight-Ball, but it's not my fault he's good-looking, and charming, and funny... Anyway, all I have to do is help my group get the caravan to Del Phia. Should be an easy enough job. Just avoid the zoms and keep clear of the Raiders, and we should be fine... Right? Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! or its characters, nor do I own Dystopia Rising LARP. This is just my Rookie's reaction to the Dystopia Rising New Adventure in the Zombies, Run! App.

Barely Alive (#JustWriteIt #SuperCharged) by Hunterarlert

Travis, Darcie, Dawson, Tori, Leo, Levi, Kaylie, Hunter, and Anthony have no business knowing each other, let alone being a team. But during a zombie apocalypse, when you get desperate, you're desperate. When you're out of options, you need to do what you need to do to survive every day. Sometimes, it might not always be ideal. But when push comes to shove, when you're barely alive and should be dead, the people who you don't know may just save you. Surviving without enemies is hard enough. But when the past comes back to haunt and enemies come to fight, the apocalypse may just become almost impossible to survive. Brains and brawn may not be enough. It takes heart to make it day to day. They knew it would be hard. They didn't know it would be next to impossible to survive. This is a story my friend and I wrote together. It took us about a year to complete. Comments would be great to see so we know if something needs to be fixed or if it's a good story.

To Be A Champion by GravityWillFall01

Book 8 of the To Be A Runner Series A dying leader, a runaway madman, skeptical locals, and a piece of the book that could contain the secrets to everything... Yep, that seems about right. It's been only five days since Jones injected Janine with the nanites, but with her time being so short, every second counts. Now we find ourselves on in the Far Hebridies, having to gain the trust of those here in order to get their help in catching Jones and healing Janine. But there's more to Mor Island, and the islands around it, than we know. Odd labs, cryptic cave messages, skinscoats, a red god? All of it is bizarre and wrong and we must weave our way through the mystery if we hope to save Janine and get back the missing piece of the Edda of the Wakened Warriors. If we don't, we will be overcome with the V-Types once again, and the world as we know it will end. That's why I have to rise up and continue to fight, even as new friends and enemies arise, even the things I thought were stable in my life slowly starts to crumble, leaving gaps for uncertainty or doubt. No, I cannot fall now. I have to keep going because that's what I do. I have to rise up with my team, for my friends. It's time to win this, and be a Champion. Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! Or any of its characters. I only own the characters I myself created. This is my Five's perspective of season 8 and what happened in between missions.

To Be A Leader by GravityWillFall01

Book 6 in the To Be A Runner series A missing general, hired assassins, a crazed Prime Minister, a voice in my head, and two sides on the verge of war. Yep, that sounds about right. It's been nine months since we took Abel back, nine months since us and the Minister arranged a 'peace treaty', as she likes to call it. We know the truth, but we've been marked as criminals, and that means very few people actually believe us. But even though Sigrid cannot get into Abel's underground labs, she's proven that she has not been defeated. She's looking for something-someone, actually. A person with the disease called Moonchild Syndrome, because it seems that I'm not the only person who's had Moonchild come and stay after breaking free from the mind control. And that's one of the many things I have to worry about. The 'original' still comes to me in dreams, and I know the Glass Protocol is still out there, looking for me, and I know that every step I take could be the last. Every decision I make will effect the people I care about, so I have to step up. I'm many things, or really, I've been called many things-a runner, a hero, a monster, a traitor, a survivor, a killer, a rebel... But I've been Head of Runners since Janine's disappearance, and now it's time for me to stop just being the head, and start being a true leader. Disclaimer-I do not own Zombies, Run! Or its characters. I only own the characters I made up all on my own. This is my Five's journey through season 6 on and in between missions.

Release Me by anna_rose01

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

Another Chapter (Descendants of Heroes #1) [Canceled Series] by CandyThePuppy

It's a bit harder than I thought to find a story where the heroes have to deal with long term consequences. Most stories seem to like; short choices, short consequences, and everyone is left wondering what will happen years later. It isn't as realistic to have a story just, END. That would feel too "staged." Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So what about this story is so different from the others? Well in this book, now, this SERIES, I decided to focus on how the past is impacting the present. It could be big decisions like going to war or not, or it could be small, like simply forgetting to tell your friend thanks every now and then. This is a story that takes place after my main series, one that I am still working on :} It is kind of a finale clincher, but at the same time, it is only the next chapter, the next stage one might call it. However, I made sure to write this in a way so that you have to pay attention to find out how things connect. All in all, this is a story, a series, about dealing with the mistakes of the past. Just about everyone has made a mistake that comes to affect this book. This series of books. And THIS, is when their choices come around to haunt them. -Everyone's fav, EVM :} [1st in the: Descendants of Heroes, series. Right after the Bedrock Breakers trilogy] (book is finished, just transferring it from my journals to Wattpad -about February 2019)

To Be A Hero by GravityWillFall01

Book 4 in the To Be A Runner series. If you have not read books 1, 2 or 3, I seriously suggest you do before continuing in order to avoid confusion. An expectant mother, a shady government worker, an unexpected visitor, and the search for a cure. Yep, that sounds about right. It's been almost nine months since the world was saved from eternal happiness, but the world is still in danger. The dead still walk and we are still far from finding a cure. But we are still discovering new things. Veronica's hard at work, and with Abel teaming up with the Ministry nothing should be able to stop us. At least, that's what I thought. But there are things we still don't understand, things I'm not sure I want to understand, like the voices in my head, like the zombies that can almost talk and are what Veronica likes to call 'Sentient Type Zombies'. There are things that I'm facing that I'd rather just forget-things I'd rather not know about... But I can't be that way. I can't back down-not from the A.M.T.B., not from the voices in my head, and not from the overwhelming feelings that clog my throat and make it almost impossible to breathe whenever I see- No, feelings are not important now, not when a cure is available, not when he's busy worrying about his baby that's due to arrive and the fact that Paula's getting sicker and... I'm getting off topic. It's time for me to step up once again. My job as a runner is never done. Now it's time for me to step up and be a hero. Disclaimer-I do not own Zombies, Run! Or its characters. I only own the ones I created. This is my Runner Five's version of season four and what I think happened in between missions.

To Be A Survivor by GravityWillFall01

Book #2 in the To Be A Runner series. If you haven't read book #1 I suggest you do that before continuing. Highest ranking #84 in Mystery/Thriller A blown up Township, one sworn enemy, a huge annoying crush, still no name, and a chance to speak again. Yep, that sounds about-wait, what? Abel is gone, the Major is back, and now we all have teamed up in trying to defeat the main enemy-the man who somehow knows how to make zombies blow up a township: Professor Van Ark. We know he's got something going on, but what we know is just the tip of the iceberg. He's the reason the apocalypse began. He's the reason Abel Township is gone. He's the reason Maxine isn't with Paula. I'm going to stop at nothing to stop him and whatever it is he's planning. I will stop at nothing to find out answers, but there's one thing I have to remember... Not all of us will make it out alive, and not all of us will make it out... unharmed. New friends, traitors, deaths, experimentations-all of it. It's all something I'm going to have to face, and I can only hope that I'll be able to survive it. Disclaimer: I do not own zombies run, or its characters. The only characters I own are the ones I've created. This is my Runner Five's view of season two with some things I like to imagine happened in between missions.

To Be A Rebel by GravityWillFall01

Book 5 in the To Be A Runner series. I suggest you read the other four (and short story) before reading this one to avoid confusion. An evil government leader, a terrible life on the run, immune babies, and no home. Yep, that sounds about right. It's been a month since Sigrid took over Abel, and I, along with Sam, Janine and Maxine have been trying to find a way to take it back, to win back our home and stop the Minister. We still don't know why she started all of this, why she engineered the apocalypse to happen, but we will find out all her secrets, sooner or later, with the help of some new friends, and old ones. But I've got a lot of things to worry about-the voices in my head and what I've seen, and if I can keep up an act. Because if I can't... It's time for me to take a stand. We are the rebellion. We are stronger than anyone believes us to be. Our reputations have been tainted, but that will not stop us. I know what it's like to be someone who does what they're told, but not anymore. Now it's time to be a rebel. Disclaimer: I do not own Zombies, Run! Or any if it's characters. I only one the characters I created all on my own. This is my Runner Five's journey through season five during and in between missions.
