Sybil has woken up from a few lifetimes of sleep, everyone still alive in the world has. Or so they were told.
In this short story form of the longer version (still in progress) the people now on Terra Firma were lied to. Lied to about what happened, lied to about how long ago it happened, and lied about who survived.

Under the Shadow of the Moon
Luna Vis woke up one morning, or rather one night, to the dim light of the moon. It was a day that started like any other, but turned out unlike any other, setting off the chain reaction that set her life ablaze for a second time. For six years she had lived a new normal after her life was uprooted, but now everything was on the cusp of changing again. Almost exactly six years prior, the world as it was had changed entirely for half of the world. And over a century prior to that, the world had burned. The world burned in silver and in gold, and out of the ashes rose a phoenix: a new dawn for civilization. New cities, new ideas. New weapons. New... insurance policies. Now Luna and her friends are learning first hand what being on the front lines of a war is like. Now they are finally learning what it was the government had kept so secret for six years. Now it is all up to them, but more specifically, up to Luna to stop The Eye and the White Sand from ruining everything. Only months away from her sixteenth birthday, she is handed a purpose that may just be worth a sacrifice. Soon the world will be normal... whatever she chooses that to be.Complete
The Only
I lost myself somewhere between space and time. I repeated my name over and over, refusing to leave myself behind. But the more I decintigrated, the more of myself I lost, until everything, my name, Timmy's smile, even my parents were forgotten. I found nothing but black space and white silence. The longer I stayed, however, the more vivid the colors became, and then they began to take shape. After what felt like hours, I was myself again, strapped to a chair with Jesse materializing in front of me. I'm Stasey. When the aliens attacked Earth, myself, my best friend Jesse, and my "friend" Timothy may have been the only people to survive. We're on a quest to find other survivors and potentially save our planet, but to do that we have to avoid being shot, eaten, or falling in love. But sometimes things work out differently than we expect, and we have to make the decision: sacrifice ourselves for the ones we love, or the ones we love for the ones we can save.Complete

Or did it? All Marcus Velasco knew was that he found himself in a weird reality with the last person he expected to see at the moment. What was more, there was a twenty-four-hour timer embedded at the back of his wrist with a quest to find his way back home within that span of time. It was either that, or his heart would stop if he didn't meet the requirements before the time was up. He was faced with two choices, and whichever one he made would cost him the other. Would Marcus make it back in time? Or risk losing his soul forever in a dream fatale. That in the first place, was if Marcus could realize what home truly meant before it was too late.
