Post-pocalyptic Stories

Over the many generations of humanity that has inhabited the planet, fiction has always been an escape from reality. We wrote tales of dragons, demons, and fairies. We wrote stories of aliens, gods, and of the monsters that slept under our beds and in the closet. We told these tales to amuse our friends and family or to teach those around us. We often dream of joining these many worlds in thoughts of being the hero, be it mythologies, books, or even dreams we create within our own minds. However... what would become of us if our dreams and fantasies became a living, breathing nightmare?
