90 Days Before the Apocalypse: My Neighbor Is the Wasteland King
614 Views · Ongoing · Lia Reed
They burned me alive in a corporate lab. Then I woke up ninety days before the world ended.
Six years in the wasteland taught me one brutal truth: the fiancé I trusted sold my power to Apex, signed the order that locked my family outside the gates, and left them to die. Now I'm back in my younger body, with my whole family still alive and ninety days to make sure they stay that way.
I know what's coming. Radiation, acid rain, spore fog, a deep freeze to minus forty, and an eternal night that will swallow what's left of civilization.
So I'm draining every line of credit I can borrow, turning an old Cold War missile silo into a fortress, and filling my pocket dimension with enough supplies to outlast the apocalypse. As for the man who betrayed me? I'm robbing him blind, vault by vault.
"Last time I was too weak to do anything but survive," I told my brother. "This time I'm settling accounts."
But there's one variable I never planned for.
The stranger who died beside me in that reactor—the one who burned through his own life to save mine—is alive again. He's human, he's my new next-door neighbor, and somehow, he's been dreaming about me.
"I have dreamed about you. Repeatedly."
I know what he becomes: the red-eyed monster the entire wasteland fears, the man who saves humanity only to be betrayed and burned by the very people he protected.
This time, I've planned for every disaster, every enemy, every betrayal.
Except him.
