apocalypse

CHANNEL 87

UPDATES DAILY (for now) Ten years after a global societal collapse due to an undisclosed and poorly understood “accident”, Athena finds herself staring down the barrel of a fifty caliber sniper rifle, wielded by an out of place woman in a yellow sundress who is defending her claim over a broken vending machine. As Athena and her three brothers, Benny, Cal, and Jules continue to scrape out a meager existence in the wreckage of an urban wasteland, they happen across the stranger in the sundress again. And again. And again. Each time, she specifically antagonizes Athena without relent, pushing her to the point of genuine burning hatred. When the stranger, Katie, finally approaches the four of them with a scheme that is certain to be mutually beneficial, Athena is faced with a painstaking opportunity to best further her one and only goal in life: keeping her brothers alive. To that end, Athena will stop at nothing, not even if it means working with someone she despises. Or dealing with Katie’s sailor-mouthed, explosive-obsessed, junkrat twelve year old sister, Bumblebee. In order to survive the perils of the urban wasteland and carve out a better existence for themselves, the six must join forces and face the worst that the apocalypse has to throw at them. Whether they live or die depends entirely on their ability to coordinate their survival against the conditions, environment, resource scarcity, and the infernal heat of summer. Not to mention, the monsters that hunt when the acid rain falls. CHANNEL 87 deals with sensitive subjects such as violence, gore, suicidality, starvation, cannibalism, infectious disease, death, and human cruelty.

Super Rare

Cait Agneau wasn't your average Beta, living deep in the Traverse tunnels. Sure, she looked like the others scrambling through the damp passageways, but she carried a secret that marked her as different—a Beta-Dominant, the rare offspring of two Beta-Dominant parents from one of those old Omegan-Betan breeding contracts. It meant educational perks, subsidies from the ABO for sure, but mostly it meant keeping her head down. Ambitious Omegas would scent her potential like blood in the water, while other Betas treated her like a walking betrayal. The worst part? She might be dying. The same vicious cancer that killed her mother when she was thirteen. Cait clenched her teeth through the first medical scans. Then the second set of labs and scans, listening as the Sector 17 doctor—supposedly progressive—warned her to keep her status quiet, even here. When her meds got delayed ("Supply chain issues," said the automated alert), Henry, her now-ex-boyfriend, had the nerve to whine about rent for their fancy apartment near her new accounting job at Thorne Inc. His breakup message pinged into her comm during her commute to work. No drama, no tears—just swift access revocation to their shared space before her shift started. She'd be able to get through it all if the medication, the only thing her shitty and unreliable father was able to do right, arrived. But things were never easy. By closing time, the office walls were dissolving into liquid patterns. Cait dug her nails into her palms, willing herself not to collapse. Getting fired during probation for "health instability" wasn't an option. Then Kieran Rose, the CEO's Omega assistant, witnessed her collapse on the elevator. And when Kieran's Alpha, Silas Thorne, got involved, Cait's carefully constructed lies began unraveling faster than the hallucinated walls. Turns out, her illness wasn't just bad luck—it was the first thread yanked from a past that would tangle them together. A world of excess, danger, lust, society-shaking secrets, and powerful men in her orbit. She is super rare. ** Adult Content, Rated 18, Adult scenes, Profanity, and an INCLUSIVE title **
