Four hundred years after The Great Destruction, civilization began to reconstruct. The Inner Ring enacted the Safe Haven Act in order to protect the children of the future, but with the lawless streets under no control, they had to take the risks necessary for a prosperuous future. The cities were perilous, for powerful people took them under their control. The woods were dangerous, for ravenous, desperate men inhabited them. Everyman cared for his own life. People joined together to build their own cities; each under their despotic protocol. Eden became the first controlled city with independent living. The place where every free man wanted to be. Ivan desired Eden. He walked everyday to arrive. He killed every man to arrive. He survived everyday to arrive. Until Lily. Lily wasn't like everyman; her ambiguity surprised Ivan. Ivan learned to question everything even the reality of Eden.

The First
I was the first. I arrived in the Glade, and there was nothing and... no one. I remembered nothing about who I was, who my parents were, what happened. A few days I remembered my name, and that's it. That's all that ever came back. There were four walls surrounding me with only one exit. I wanted to go through, so I did, in hopes of finding my way out. What I found lurking on the other side was not an exit but something much worse. I found my way back, and I spent the next month fending for myself. Food, water, a temporary shelter. After a month, someone else arrived, and this person arrived with supplies. Every month a new person was sent up. Every arrival was the same as mine. They couldn't remember anything. I was the first one here, and that means that I call the shots, I make the rules, and I run the place.Complete
in about two weeks.
After a highly contagious disease caused the downfall of mankind as they know it, married couple Sophia and Tom were forced to leave their home and seek a way to survive in more than ever unforgiving conditions, scavenging for food, collecting rainwater, migrating to the south for the winter, and fending off both hostile survivors and dangerously aggressive Infected. Being nomads made for rather unpleasant interactions with settled communities and pushed them into complete isolation. Their relationship grew each day more bitter, binding them only through the sheer inability to let go of life, no matter how brutal or dreadful it got. Unexpected sudden encounters will make them question their past, feelings, and motivations, as they navigate the ruins of their sense of self and of their close-to-failing marriage. "[...] in any case, destiny, or whatever higher power acting upon them, had a splendid way of forcing self and mutual reflection for the umpteenth time in about two weeks."

Had I have known this ever-so-useful piece of information beforehand, I would never have opened the door. In actual fact, I would have made sure I was as far away from it as possible. Unfortunately I don't happen to possess mind-reading powers, so therefore, the knock on the door came. And the one person who would singlehandedly destroy my life and make me question everything I've ever known, appeared. Right in front of me. He was RIGHT there. And there was nothing I could do. _______ Mature themes & some coarse language.Complete
The After Effects
After it all happened, the Plague created what feels like a whole new world. Survivors created new lives for themselves and carried on with their lives. Me? I didn't get the chance to create a new life. Thanks to my absolutely wonderful father figure, I was forced to become an entirely different person. Thankfully I was able to escape his peachy influence and take some control of my new life. What I don't know is the Plague brought on after effects. Everything changed eleven years ago and only a few knew what actually happened after billions of people died. That all changes one-day though and I found my life completely flipped upside down.

Not as heavy as she thought it'd be. "It's a Glock 17, 9 mm gun. Very easy to use. Doesn't weigh much. You should be able to use it. It holds 17 rounds - " "Wait, you gave me a loaded gun?" Her eyes widened "Of course not. I don't want it going off or me getting shot by accident." He chuckled. "Here I'll show you how to use it." He placed his hands over hers, pointing the gun down for a moment. "So, for safety measures, you always keep the gun low. Most importantly when it is loaded." "Mmhm." Lily nodded as he continued giving her the gun lesson. She was shocked this is why he brought her in here. Maybe he was getting her ready for training. But her, no one else. "Alright, you take the magazine out. It has a magazine release button you must press first." He slid a black piece out of the gun, it was where the bullets were stashed. "Then, you load it up. I won't do that right now. But after that, you shove it back in. Then you cock the gun back, find a target and pull the trigger." "Oh, so it's that easy." She smirked. "Yeah, but how good is your aim?" He returned the smirk. His hands still clasped over hers holding the gun. "Well, do you think you can handle a gun now?" "I think so."

"Every time I meet someone, I compare them to you. Every fucking time I remind myself that you're an enemy, I want you even more" he said and I knew that this was one of the hardest thing for him to do.
