Artemis awoke in a bumpy... A car of some sort. His neck and head were too sore to move, but he eventually dragged himself over to the wall. It looked like one of those cars that carried coffins. He saw Alli and Alice asleep across from him, when he saw the man in the corner, smirking at him. He wore clothes that looked like something out of a post-nuclear war movie. "How long have I been out?" Artemis asked, brushing dust off his dungaree jacket and putting his puffy hat on. " 'Bout a day."…

He came out of haze, smirking. He had a woman and child in tow, and both seemed normal except for him. His skin was ash gray, and all he wore was made out of dungaree material. Jeans, a dungaree jack with a white shirt underneath... Atop his head was a puffy dungaree hat. half the woman's face was hidden behind dyed black and purple hair. The girl was wearing running pants and a long-sleeve shirt. Even the girl was carrying a pistol. He saw me, and I ducked behind a trash can, though it only…

***This has nothing to do with Ashes of Reality or Endless Night. I'm simply doing shorts. This has nothing to do with Resident Evil, so discount the name The Hive as a parody or reference.***

My name is Hank.

Three days ago, a virus escaped... And everybody died. Problem was... They didn't stay dead. Not for long. I work at a secret testing grounds called The Hive. It was kept underground to eliminate trouble from the outside. It does its job well. Problem is, now I can't get…

Yep. That's right. It's coming.

I'd love to talk to the genius who created Campion. I slowly made my way down the hallway, making note of every sound and movement along the way. The door to Science and Medical…

Artemis finally busted down the door, and of all people sitting against the wall, it was Alli. He almost screamed with relief. He ran up to her, and realized she was asleep. He put his hand on cheek. How far she had come from when he had found her huddled in a corner, almost a year ago. She had nearly died of starvation. Artemis looked around, and saw her start to wake. He sat himself down on the floor, and waited.

It took a few minutes, but Alli finally opened her eyes. It was fuzzy,…

It was just like any other day, until the black SUV went flying by, with several snarling people in tow. I dropped the bread knife, and gaped as it slammed through a metal fence, and exploded once it crashed. Several people leaped from it at the last second. The people who had run after the SUV followed them away. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. I ran out to the front porch to see better. I realized those "people"s flesh was rotting, and their skins were ugly shades of gray, brown…

Three months after he got to St. Teresa, Vice thought life couldn't get any better. He knew what was going on with the rest of the world, and he held little pity for the fools stuck out there. At 12:52 AM, he saw them.

They were running, fast, towards the gate.

Vice knew instantly those weren't survivors. Many of them ran with an odd gait, others were missing limbs, some were just bent in impossible poses. When the first one hit the chain link fence, no one reacted. When the…

Avaro realized they were getting close to Ruth's house, and when they got there, they honked the horn a few times. He saw Ruth come running out, a big stack of medkits in hand, while her older sister, Desir, carried more. They threw them in the van and climbed in. No one said a word, not even Vice, who knew this was going to be happening. Everything was in chaos. Cars crashing into each other around them, and ghouls picking off those whos car wasn't functioning. Avaro saw one of those freaks…

Vice was young, only 16 years old. But he was smart. He knew there was one big problem with society, and that was it didn't take well to new things that were strange or dangerous. In fact, society shunned such things. Vice knew that one day, the shunned were going to do the shunning, or, even worse, get sick of their lower status and strike back. That's why Vice was prepared. Prepared for when the freaks came marching in. In fact, he had a field day, because now no one would think he was a…

Sadly, Endless Night will be coming to a minor halt, so we can start a story called Ashes of Reality, which (Only slightly, and cause we felt like it) ties in with Endless Night. You'll have to wait to see what it's all about, but we will give you a little secret: Many of the names of the characters in this are rough translations for human traits, such as generosity or greed. Rest assured, though, Endless Night isn't officially ending yet (Far from it, actually. We've got BIG plans for that…

***I fell off the radar (AGAIN) but I'll be doing a rather short piece this time...***

A day.

A day was all it took for Alli to go nearly insane. Insane from the moaning. That repeating, sickening moan. That was all Alli heard now. She fell against the wall. She had found an empty house before nightfall, and thankfully no undead were inside. She clutched her head with both hands, afraid her head would split open from the insanity of it all. She looked up. Suddenly,…

***Sorry for fallin' off the radar, so here's an extra long piece for ya ;) And I am sorry for the cliche swarming of zombies, but demand for this episode was high and I didn't have the time***

Alli let out a laugh of relief. All she wanted now was a waffle, maple syrup and a bed. Maybe not even a bed. Artemis shot a glance at her, then back at the road. Alli started to say, "Phew... It's finally ov-" Suddenly, she couldn't hear anything, her vision went white, and she felt…
