Jeremiah wants to choose his path, but in New Andover, gender decides every role until an otherworldly visitor arrives. Survivalist compounds dot the landscape of an Earth ravaged by nuclear winter. New Andover thrives on threats and conditioning, a way of life only challenged by the visitor.

Jeremiah wants to be an enforcer, like the other boys. Except, he is assigned the role of archiver. The arrival of the star-bound stranger forces him to reexamine everything he thought he knew...Naltag is a commissioned explorer, and finds signs of life on a once barren planet known as Earth.

Although Naltag tries to remain impartial, Jeremiah is soon in need of rescuing, if only to save his little sister from a slave-like existence in the compound.All Rights Reserved

Duly named Miff, said warrior has the mission of challenging Time itself and its rule over History. After a first merciful, failed attempt he must find another way to avoid the rise of a tyrant to lunacy. To avoid Mayhem. Two stubborn people on the run from governments and monsters, from the past that becomes the future, with the task of saving the universe twice-once each. If they don't drive each other crazy first. Focusing on the interactions between Ember and Miff and their conversations, this work's purpose is to explore how the burden of society's greed and expectations brings about the downfall of the individual and of itself.
