The Durochers have long been known as pillars of the Staten Island community. For five generations they've answered the call to serve and protect, each male member of the family becoming decorated officers within the NYPD. However, young Alexander Durocher has other plans. It's summer 2001 in New York City and Alex is getting ready to graduate from Columbia, heading off to a prestigious three-month internship before starting law school in the fall. He's got a future that spreads beyond the boundaries of the borough he was born in, and a serious girlfriend his Roman Catholic parents adore. He knows where he's going because he's deciding the path, and he's not about to let anything - especially his homosexuality - get in the way of that. Please read the author's note for all warnings. Amazing cover created by @ointments!!

This story was written for the second contest of @Fantasci. The prompt they offered was interesting: there are two lovers, one has turned evil, and the other is charged with defeating them. Oh, and it had to be under 2k words. As I was turning over what angle I would take in writing this contest entry this story leaped fully formed into my mind. The scene was so vivid I managed to churn out the story in a single day while trapped in a busy office . . . when I should have been working on other things. Please don't tell my boss.

In Maddison's last visit to the ancient city, she encountered a man. More surprising was what he lacked on his face.... He wore no mask. A hundred years since the Great Disaster and he not only lived beyond infancy, but he breathed the air. No one breathed free air anymore at the risk of dying cancerous and crazed. Nothing of value is free-not the water, not the land, not the food... ...and certainly not the air.
