The day the sky fell is the day I learned freedom it not a right, it's a privilege. 2023. That was the year the earth was taken. Humans were weak against our alien invaders, weak against their technology. They claimed what was once ours and used our resources for their own benefit. We thought at first maybe everything would be fine, we can handle new neighbors can't we? Wrong. As soon as we got comfortable they started taking what they wanted. Land, food, even the children. Their experiments were harsh, inhumane. And anyone lucky enough to survive was sooner used as a weapon against their own people. The failed experiments roam the wastelands, feeding off unlucky travelers. The earth is in constant chaos. Between our alien overlords and the people fighting for their freedom. We will never be free with the way things are now. Someone can change it. Someone can give us our freedom. My name is Dawn, and this is my story, my awakening.

Heather has lived her entire life believing her mother is crazy. She doesn't believe the stories that were told to her as a child, the stories about men descending from the sky to take her. She rejects the false narratives and tries to help her mother the best she can even if that means constantly moving and preparing for the men to come back. She doesn't envision a life beyond this, never expected to leave her mother until she is forced to in the most unexpected way. When the men from the sky take her instead. *** It was a short debate but enough to push me over the edge. Pher was right. I was making this too difficult. I should just do it. I had been fighting myself on this for too long. I didn't care what he was, I wanted this. I stared at his lips as he spoke, my own tingling in response. "I could show you that if you wanted. Most of the other things you can do are outside of the esta-" I pushed up on my toes and crashed my mouth to his. My actions were unexpected and rushed. I could tell by his reaction. He reared back but not enough to separate us. His hand flashing to my arm to still us and then he froze. I thought for a second, based on his lack of response, I had picked the wrong time. Or maybe he had changed his mind from two days ago. I went to pull away, flushing lightly with embarrassment. I didn't get to disconnect our lips before he unfroze and reacted. His grip tightened, his other one going to my hair to hold my head in place as he kissed me back with more intent than I even had started with. My body flushed for a different reason now.
