Nothing will ever be the same, but it hasn't been for years now.Everything is supposed to be better now.But there are rumours, talk of fires starting and whole camps of people disappearing without explanation.

The living diary of a hopeless romantic girl who started processing big feelings through poems at 17 and grew up feeling, hurting, loving, and starting over.My diary. My feelings.

"Life isn't temporary anymore and death isn't permanent, the lines so blurred it's best if you just avoid thinking about it."The world has ended. Humanity is on the brink of death. The apocalypse is real, has been for a long time now, and life will never be the same. Phil is afraid, afraid of losing his one tie to this world that despite it all keeps him going with the desire to keep them both alive, with a love he can't admit.Dan is worn down but determined, not willing to give in despite the overwhelming circumstance. He'd sooner die than lose Phil to anything. They look out for each other, separation is out of the question. In a world where everything familiar is dead and gone, just one person standing by your side can be the difference between sanity and chaos, and for the two of them, the other is that person. But how can love survive, when death is looming and one half doesn't even realize it exists? The world is a dangerous place, and even with the help of their not-quite human companion Cat and and group of newfound friends, there are new, unfound struggles in store for the pair and a secret neither of them will see coming. The objective is simple: stay alive. Doing so, however, is easier said than done.~COMPLETED 11/6/2018~…
