"Do I scare you?" The raven haired girl asks. Laura shakes her head with hesitation. She knew nothing of the girl and what she was capable of and That's what frightened her. "Good." Carmilla smiles amusingly at the obviously timid girl. {Full story description on the first page!}

"That's just it. She isn't mine. You are. To amuse or not. To annoy or not. To love...or not." "...Danny says she loves me. That, to show it, she's protective. It's annoying and-" "She doesn't." "How do you know?" The way she said it, Laura had to question Carm's reasoning. "I just know. She WANTS you possessively. Obviously. But, she doesn't love you." "But...she said it. If you love someone, you tell them! Love means there's a very powerful feeling needing to be expressed, doesn't it?" "Love doesn't mean the same thing to everyone."

The year is 2096. The earth has seen two more world wars since 2016. The last war that destroyed a quarter of Canada and half of Japan, was enough to make the government enforce strict actions. Countries are now split, no communication at all between them. Humans now live in conglomerations of small pods stacked upon each other. Each person has their own space, but they're all confined to being underground. Half of the people living inside the pods have never seen natural sunlight. Birth rates are violently controlled due to the lack of space and pods constantly having to be built. Couples are allowed, but physical contact reaching past anything more than a hug is forbidden. Sex is strictly banned unless it is agreed by contract or an operation is done to assure a baby cannot be created. It's a tough life. It's a boring life. And it's a lonely one too. A life underground simply isn't good enough for some and sooner or later, you have to leave the shadows.
