Falling,
I am falling,
Whether I fall,
Up, or down,
I am incapable of telling.
*~*
Imagine waking up in a world, stripped of all good. A place where you are incapable of seeing true life; true people? Where the only life around you, are the dead bodies of others? Where the only thing left of your old world, is the bite of the desert, and the sun hot enough to boil you alive?
For "C", this is her reality.
After awakening to a ruined world, with barely a scrap of her old life, she is left lost. Only her beaten body, a stab to her abdomen, and swerving memories and emotions remain. She owns not a speck of anything; not even a name. Death seems to be her only escape out, so she may as well accept it.
However, after she is found and rescued by one of the few, decent survivors, life suddenly appears to be the right decision. She juggles with the struggle to figure out her past life, both who she was, and what had happened to her, all the while trying to stay alive from threats coming to her at all sides, and feelings for someone she would like to push aside.
More dangers lurk, though.
Betrayal comes from everyone, even those she will least expect. After all, the new life in their ruined world requires to be there for ones' self, and no one else. If "C" cannot figure this out, she might as well succumb to the fate destined for her.
