Now don't get it wrong, this has nothing to do with the color of a person's skin, hair, eyes, the numbers of fingers and toes the person has or even how attractive a person may potentially be. In this world if you have a 30% or higher chance of getting a disease, disorder or malfunction, you're sent away. This causes many complications and stipulations to occur. These two societies that govern and the possibility of a third that has been burned out of history. Follow a boy in greener pastures and a girl who is sleeping under metal coated roads.

100 years into the future, biology has given way to a new humanoid race, the Supernaturals. However, survival for them isn't easy in a world where they are criminalized and oppressed. It's survival of the fittest, or rather, the smartest and most successful. And with a criminal underworld full of illegal Supernatural activity, things are bound to spiral out eventually. (This series has had a rocky start. I've rewritten it hundreds of times over and have finally found something to roll with. I'm happy with how the Pilot turned out and am excited to finally introduce this series. GLR is still in progress, don't worry, this is just one of my side-hustles.)Complete

He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in.

She lost her parents, her sister, and the two boys she loves-left behind to an uncertain fate. Now, on a distant planet she never asked to call home, Ever reunites with the brother she thought was dead. But this new world is not the refuge it promised to be. Her sister's haunting last words echo in her mind: "Your friends may be your foes, and your foes may be your only chance for survival."

To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one.
