In a post-apocalyptic world, a man happens across a girl hiding in a derelict building. He pledges to take her home to Haven, a settlement that is ever growing. But he'll soon discover that Haven is a viper's nest, as he and others struggle to survive in a world without much hope. Please note that this is very much a work in progress. It's being written as I upload parts and right now, only the first part of 'episode 1' is available. I hope to upload a part at least once a week. Each episode, even though I likely won't upload entire episodes in one go, are similar to an episode on TV where each contains their own narrative thread while also pushing the overall story forward. They're also of varying lengths. Also, feedback is very much welcome. It's one of the primary reasons I'm sharing the story here, with the other reason being to find readers who enjoy my writing in the hopes that they may purchase some of my writing. That said, I'm hesitant to majorly change the 'content' of what I've already uploaded for fear of people reading a later part and wondering why there are inconsistencies. So, I'd likely take the feedback on board for future parts, unless the feedback pertains to technical errors. I'm very much willing to listen to reader feedback for future parts, though I do have a story I want to tell. Also, I've rated the story as PG-13. I'm unsure as to whether it should be rated as PG-13 or R, so I included PG-13/R in the title for that reason. Apologies if you think it's more suitable for an R rating. I realise it does deal with some heavy themes. If enough people mention I should change the rating, then I have absolutely no issue doing that.

A marine mishap inspires him to be an inventor. His inventions and explorations change his life, his entire planet. Turkles are close cousins of turtles. Unlike them, they have yellow golden skin and back shells, walk on their hind legs, have the gift of language, and the ability to create their own culture. The life of Klubbe may read like a light-hearted science fiction story, but it actually happened to him. Princess Corka thinks his invention is sublime. Ubbtosh, the pyramid priest, promises to guide him to the core of the cosmos. In space, there are no sign posts, he finds, but there are other beings. And on Ankor, there are mysteries to be solved. Is the Great Glom more than a myth? And what about the Great Archy Eopta?
