Nightmare-inspired Stories

The year is 20XX. The American government has fallen apart as the economy had shriveled. Conspiracy theories and the growing dissatisfaction continue to fester into intense outbreaks of movement, reformation, and organized terror. Many different groups pry their scaly hands for the seat of power. However, one succeeds and democracy takes a new shade. People do their best to adjust to the new restrictions and expanses of life. Unfortunately, we follow one that has fallen victim. An indifferent citizen stands by and watches as her old life is taken away. Yet she gains another chance at living at the cost of her indifference.

Sometimes the mind can offer such amazing inspiration in different forms. These were taken from my frequent "nightmares" or dreams that revolved around certain reappearing characters. But they have nothing to do with the main plot of Nighthawks. These scenes are not complete. Just a place for me to practice setting and carrying a plot without rambling.

Jason Alton moves to a small town after a long, exhaustive search for a specific job at a library. He finds the new apartment he's moved into is nothing like how it was advertised and his new neighbors are either completely dry and devoid of anything or too friendly and excited considering the dreary, decrepit town. After an encounter with the bright, energic "Shriver" couple who seemed to know exactly why he had moved prior to meeting him he becomes suspicious of the church they are running... right out of their garage of all places.
