apocalypse

A twilit orb, sometimes considered the sun, sat affixed to the eastern skies. Its lukewarm gaze cascaded over the open plains that stretched westward, tapering off into a sickly glow the farther it reached. From a vantage, one could hear the faint grumbling of a spreading maleficence to the...

You've had some pretty weird nights in the past. Some *really* weird nights, in fact. Some nights so weird you can hardly even believe that they happened. But tonight was, even in that context, one of the most unusual experiences you've ever had the marginal pleasure of being amused by. You muse...

Please Note: This was inspired by The Storyteller series on YouTube. I took an interest in it after watching TheQuartering's YouTube video detailing how Vault 76's premise didn't make sense in universe unless it was an alternative timeline or just another experiment. Now, I'm not really here to...

I recently posted a response to a random question on Facebook about A. how much antimatter it would take to blow up the Earth without harming other planets, and B. how big/fast a relativistic kill missile would need to be to do the same. I didn't want the answer to be posted and forgotten on...

When people thought about the end of the world coming they typically pictured one of several scenarios. Climate Change, Nuclear War, a giant meteor falling out of the sky and squishing everyone. When the end did come it came in a way no one in their right mind could have seen coming. THE...

So I was thinking about Animal Armaggedon, good show by the way, thought about how humanity would deal with either of the three situations. In all cases assume that the relevant experts learnt or started to gain information about the extinction event in the middle of 2007 and by and large by the...

You are lying naked in a crater. Your teeth taste the dirt as you lie in the earth, still smoldering from your entrance. You wearily stand, ash flaking off your body as you stumble around in a daze. You shake your hands once, then twice, and you look around for it...where is it? Where'd you put...

How powerful was Apocalypse in X-Men? The following youtube video has spoilers for X-Men Apocalypse.

It’s been a very long month and a half for everyone now found in the small room, sitting around a round table. Seven of them in all, five whom are trainers that have distinguished themselves in the long night that followed the disaster, and two representatives of what remains of the local...

The first mass-produced A.I., the Porygon, were clever Pokémon, capable and bright but a clear mark below human intelligence. Within a few years, that would change. Newer Porygon models out-thought humans by increasingly wider margins. Eventually, human scientists simply gave up and left them to...

Ragnarok’s Dawn In the 2040s a new all but alien organism began to surface across the globe. Dubbed Oracle Cells they defied all understanding conceived by science. Then in the Dawn of the fiftieth year of the twenty first millennium came the inhuman tide as these mysterious cells gestated...

Hey all, So this is basically a write up of my Werewolf the Apocalypse sessions. This won't be a constantly updated, mostly its for me practicing my writing and for my GM to double check notes and the like. The main premise of this write up follows as such: This is a solo chronicle between me...

It Is Done. With those words, the Millenial Kingdom came to an end, the New Earth and the New Heaven were forged and vanished from the universe to whatever paradise the Almighty had in store for the faithful. Meanwhile, everyone who either rejected God or failed to live up to the standard are...

AN: Basically, I took all the good parts of RWBY (the world and setting), got rid of the bad (literally everything else) and added it to HP so I could have an excuse to write a post-apocalyptic zombie fic. Except not zombies, because they're no threat to wizards. Updates will be once a day until...

Bridges can be burned But it's never too late to put out the flames Years ago, in the vast forest plains of the Kingdom of Stepia, a battle was waged between two people. None know why they fought, only that their struggle resulted in unimaginable destruction. One was a goddess in mortal...

What is the last thing you remember? You, Lieutenant Colonel Tómasson, Cybran Commander, staring up at a Seraphim Ahwassa as it drops its payload on your head. Alarms blaring in your mind like jackhammers, you watch as the progress bar of your teleporter crawls ever closer towards completion...

Something terrible has occurred. The Will of The World has become... Corrupted. A force from beyond our known existence has infected Gaia and tainted the very heart of the World itself with its presence. Millions of human lives were lost on the first day as across the planet, monstrous...

Hi all. I started writing this story a couple of days ago. It's a cross between alternate history and historical fantasy involving time-travel/parallel universes. Hopes you enjoy reading it ^_^ In The Beginning: Prologue "Holy fucking shit!" His mouth gapped like a fish. His blue eyes widened...

I gulped as I looked up at the intimidating bulk of the diesel engine, its dull yellow hull trimmed with black hazard lines towering over me. What on Earth am I, Alexander Diamond of all people, doing here? Why am I here in Norton Station and not at home? …Oh, right, Sheriff Sanders had me...

Prologue: End of a World. Once, there was a World. This World, though it did not know much in the way of peace, did know stability, for like many a world, war was commonplace, yet the borders of nations remained essentially stable, and those who did not live near the borders rarely had to...

Hello there! Welcome to the Wasteland, let me get you up to speed. There are mutant people, and the world is a shit hole that is now being infested with maggots. But it ain't all bad I suppose, these Monster People are actually kinda cute lookin' when they ain't trying to gut you like a fish. I...

First, who the heck are you? Hey! I'm EBR, aka Ephraim Ben Raphael. I came over the site from AH.com following Ian the Admin's Great Purge. I'm still a member over there, but I decided to go on hiatus while I wait for things to calm down. What are doing outside of Alternate History-town...

The backstory for this is that I was given a writing challenge to combine three different concepts into a single story. My concepts were: Mickey Mouse, Al Qaida, and Cyber Noir. A lot of this first post is world-building and I'm trying to find the right balance of info dumping without giving...
