The distress one feels when their home environment is desolated in ways they cannot control. (2019) || Concept coined by Professor Glenn Albrecht

After the Blackout, everything was lost. To get back on the grid sacrifices were made. With no monetary value to barter with, America gave up the one thing it did have, its Freedom. It gave up its name, its flag, its land, it's military might. The United States of America was no more, that dream was destroyed, torn apart by a two headed Dragon, China and Russia. China, the largest owner of United States debt, provided the needed finance. Russia came in and provided needed fuel and security. It was no longer the Untied States of America, it was the The People’s Socialist Republic of America. Follow the struggles, sacrifices and triumphs of two families working together to set things right. They will lay down their own lives and the lives of their loved ones to show that the lights might have gone out in America, but the spirit of Freedom was far from being extinguished. In the end they will lead an army of their fellow Americans in the Second American Revolutionary War

"What do you want Charlie?" My eyes widened as I stared at Ayden in shock. Did he not hear anything I had just said? Or maybe, he wanted what I had tried to hide from him for so long. The truth. "Charlie..." I felt my eyes sting, a fresh wave of tears threatening to fall. "I-I want what most people have. A safe haven away from my own personal living hell...I d-don't want to live like this anymore." "I want to be loved." For Charlie Graham happiness is only two things.

Yet, everything in his life turns from bad to worse when the pop star goes missing from the public, his world becoming a personal hell. So many times he has to ask himself, is life even worth living anymore? ~Book one of the Melancholic Adornment Collection~ ~Unedited

       “The 3 types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it's when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it's when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm. And the last and worse one: Terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It's when the lights go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there's nothing there...” ― Stephen King
