dystopian sci-fi thriller

There's black and white, there's color and there's gray. Timothy lived in a world of gray. The sky, the streets and the tenement block in which he lived. From the leaves on the trees to the clothes on the people, to the color of their faces, everything was gray. Everything was gray except a magic box of light and color, the television. It told people what to say, what to do and what to think. It told them when to laugh and when to cry. It told them things were good and things used to be bad. It told Timothy what he was worth and what he should feel. It told him who he was and who he should be. It was followed, worshipped and never questioned. Until one day when everything changed.

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.
