Glancing down the line of pink, I wonder if these questions barrage my sisters' minds. I wonder if they, too, feel drowned in the pink and terrified of the red.

I never agreed with what they were doing, but it was the only way to survive now that the world had gone to shit. But when I meet these green eyes I can't help myself but to do everything I can to make sure she's safe. Even if I have to run to find her.

This is not the tale of a love story, it is one of tragedy "The world no longer belongs to the living or the dead; it belongs to the survivors." That is what Troy told her each time they would sneak out together, just as they did when they were teenagers. Those words were something that Matilda Stewart would learn to live by. No matter the cost.

The world doesn't know that the ship they want to sail has already sailed at one point. We sailed through the calmness of the sea and through the storm. At one point, she was the best decision I've ever made. Finally, I found the person I was looking for, but then she told me that I'm not the one she wants to find.

The fire would be pretty, orange and red and swirly and warm. The fire would be pretty, if they weren't in the middle of it. ~~~~~~ Trigger warning for graphic depictions of sex, violence, gore, character death, suicidal thoughts and depression.

AMERICAN HORROR STORY meets THE HANDMAID'S TALE with a bit of WESTWORLD weaved in Four women, fresh out of a super secret governmental experiment, are dragged back into the laboratory where they lived--to save the world from the specimens they helped produce. ***** It's 2050, and the world--in particular the not-so-United States of America--has undergone a lot of changes. A dictator who refuses to relinquish his presidential power reigns over the country, and humans--especially women--see their rights diminished more and more each day. Some are forced to enter special programs to stay safe from men who seek to harm them, and others accept to be part of freaky experimental trials in back-alley labs for a bit of cash to pay the rent. Four women who participated in one such trial--one *actually* sanctioned by the US government--are coping with their new lives when a member of said lab comes to find them, to let them know that the experiment they participated in has gone awry... and they are the only ones who can help fix it all. *TRIGGER WARNING for gore, violence (especially towards women, but NOT domestic abuse), oppression (to women, mostly), explicit language, possible sexual situations inappropriate for readers under 18. PLEASE DO PROCEED WITH CAUTION.*
