These are strange and perilous times. The Orange Moon looms over the earth, all hidden things emboldened by its numinous glow. Zee, a woman hardened by the harsh realities of such a world, and her daughter, Tully, bright-eyed and yet to lose hope, make their way across the treacherous land, searching for a place to rest - no more running, no more hiding. Their journey brings them to Hope Town, a place of colourful buildings and cobblestone streets. Encountering a kind sheriff who offers them a place to rest, Zee and Tully begin to wonder if this is all too good to be true. For as the wind blows through the empty streets, questions begin to rise of why so few people populate the large town. Where is everyone? What happened to this place? The wind continues to blow, the eerily quiet streets screaming their warning: Run.

We have been on the run for days now. The safety of my children is my priority. I was betrayed in the worst way, and I could not watch him hurt us any longer. I never saw my life going this way but here I am running for my life and my children's. This was the last bus stop, and I had a choice to make. I hope that I would not make the wrong one. He could find us at any moment and I imagine him dragging me all the way back by my hair. I didn't know who to trust but sometimes you just have to take a leap. Maybe, with a little luck, I will find the one thing I have been missing and be saved. One could dream, but for now, I'll keep running.
