It came down to one thing; money.
The governments last resort as poverty reached its peak was to erase those who produced no benefits to society. 67% of the population living in poverty was destroyed in the Wipe. Those who survived, wished they didn't. Families sold their child to the wealthy. Some households committed mass suicides to escape the horrors they faced. The wealthy, of course, flourished off of the pain of the less fortunate.

Echoes Beneath The Ashes
The world is dying. The infection doesn't just take lives-it warps them, turning people into something unrecognizable. Something monstrous. Survivors hide, whispering of those lost to the sickness, but the infected are not the only danger. Amias refuses to believe all hope is gone. He clings to the idea that some can still be saved. Eclipse knows better. She has seen what mercy costs, and she won't make that mistake again. Survival is the only rule. Forced together in a land where the infected aren't the only predators, they must fight to stay ahead of the growing darkness. Something watches from the trees, waiting. Hunting. And in a world where humanity is slipping away, one truth remains: They never let go.
Endless

Maybe things could change. He'd rather die trying than leave a wasteland as his legacy.Complete
Marked By Shadows
Imagine if World War 2 had been a cover-up this whole time. Imagine if every country had no idea that a larger mysterious power was leading over everything and everyone. The United States got power hungry after World War 1, so they began to devise a plan to keep gaining more control, not cluing the President in. The government descended into oppression for centuries, putting more control on the people, arrests for no reason, and checkpoints, like a living prison. People have to hide who they truly are. Safety is not guaranteed. Then, out of the ashes, a little rebellion that has been forming for years arises, with an insane hope that they can stop this tyranny and oppression.Complete

An Inch Of Infinity (Short Version)
In the near future the entire world is conquered by a group of people known as Royalties, or the Royals for short. They declared war on the planet. If you were not with them, you were against them. by the end of the 21st century the world was utter chaos and anyone who did not follow the laws to the letter were taken away by the Keepers. Part ninja, part spy, part soldier, the Keepers were brainwashed citizens raised from 8 months old to be able to apprehend anyone. Only 87% made it through training. The population was cut into 6 groups, one for each block, each the size of a continent. Every other healthy child was marked at birth to become a Keeper. Children were often sent to other blocks to keep the population exactly even, but not always. Rebellions rose but were extinguished quickly, before they even really started. Eventually the only hope was a single underground rebellion until even that began to disappear. This is the same exact story as An Inch of Infinity except it has been broken into small chapters to be more easily read on mobile devices. I own the characters, the story, the cover art. Everything. Please don't steal them.Complete
