《Invincible Ones [A Walking Dead Story]》Chapter 26- Here we Bleed
Advertisement
Lizzy starts to feel ill, so I volunteer to go and escort her to the quarantine cell block.
I bang my fist on the metal door and Carol—with a bandana around her face as an attempt to avoid breathing in the sickness—appears in the small square window in the door.
The door opens and Lizzy steps into the cell block, looking pale. "I don't feel very good. Em helped me find my way."
Carol raises an eyebrow at me and tells Lizzy to settle in one of the cells. Carol turns to me. "Ember, you're smarter than risking your own health right now." She whispers in a low voice. "Be honest, are you okay?"
I begin to regret coming. The stomach cramps and unrest probably is just a period thing. "Nah, it's just my...time of month I confused it with." I pause as Carol eyes me worriedly and suspiciously for a moment. She nods and closes the door. That's possibly the lamest excuse I ever made.
I start to make my way down the corridor and double over coughing. In cough into my elbow until it ends—leaving my lungs burning.
I remove my arm from my now wet mouth, only to see my blue sweater sleeve covered in red liquid that gleams in the daylight leaking through the tiny windows.
The door swings open and Carol steps out. "Ember..." She sighs. I nod, standing up as straight as my folding stomach allows, and stride down the hall and step through the cell block of death threshold.
—————
Ember never came back from the Cell Block O' Death.
Beth glances toward me with solemn eyes as she cradles my baby sister in her arms.
Beth and I sit cross-legged next to each other and Zaylee is hanging out with the other kids and comforting Mika.

"She might've gone hunting with Daryl." I suggest.
Beth shakes her head. "Carl..." She sighs. "Don't you think she'd...I don't know, drop by and be like 'By the way, I'm going hunting and not going to be bedridden in my death bed in a dank cell block.'" I stare at her, shocked. Beth never acts this way. "Sorry..." Beth says. "Glenn is sick too. And if he dies...what will happen to Maggie?"
"Glenn won't die." I assure her and she nods.
"I believe you." She smiles to herself and inhales a deep breath. "It'll all work out. Yeah, it will. In the meantime, we all got jobs to do, Carl."

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
