In a deserted, post apocalyptic world 15 year old James Prower and a small group of teenagers fight to survive. Most creatures have left southern Saskatchewan for the winter in search of warmer climates, giving the group time to restock and rest. 

Things are going fairly well until they come across another group of survivors with a leader so demanding and fearless that he takes charge of both groups, leaving James and a few others to grumble at the changes being made. 

Then, the new leader "exiles" James and his closest friends Sophie and Tim. However, James chooses to follow the group from a distance, with Sophie and Tim there to help.

When the creatures return in the spring, James and his friends become more careful about keeping concealed. They continue to follow the group no matter what. Then, the leader of their group is suddenly unprepared, lost, and frightened, but he will not give James back the leadership willingly.

Does James fight for his place among the group, or continue to follow behind? Only the changing of the seasons will tell.

They Came from the Trees

60 parts Complete Mature

Fifteen-year-old Sheldon Hickory fights for his life as unusual creatures take over the town of Hidden Trail. On the run, Sheldon and his dad help a group of neighbors hideout, only to be attacked the next day by a larger, more evolved alien species. Separated from his father, Sheldon is brutally beaten and wakes up days later in an abandoned school with a beautiful girl named Cara. The two spend time together in hiding along with a couple of kids who have strange ideas about the intentions of the alien invasion. The group is soon picked up by some edgy teenagers who have hot-wired an old school bus, and are preparing to escape to the water. However, when Cara surrenders herself, Sheldon learns about the horrifying yet curious vision of these rapidly evolving aliens. The lovestruck teen soon questions the morality of the human spirit, and wonders what it might be like to submit to the utopian idealisms of this new alien race. **WARNING** - this story may seem 'gentle' in the beginning, but it can get a little disturbing and there is some mature content. "Somehow when I'm with her, I forget everything - being with her takes away the end of the world." ~ They Came from the Trees Hope you enjoy!!
