I have limitless power, it sounds good, doesn't it. It sounds like some kind of blessing. But it's a curse, not a blessing. What if I told you that this limitless power comes with unrelenting anger when it activates, that with this limitless power comes with being unable to stop yourself from killing the ones you love, that with this limitless power comes with enough pain to kill you but let's you live. Tell me, does it still sound like a blessing.
I'm cursed.
I should've died long ago, but it has no mercy, without it, many good people would still be alive, but it feeds off of it, because of it, I constantly fear for her, my love, for that she could lose her life from my own hand, and it will have influenced me to do so. It is no longer with me, but its curse will never leave me. It cursed me. Are you wondering what "it" is?
"It"...is a blade.
I am not blessed
I am cursed.
Let me tell you my story.
Kai Gilling, a transgender wanderer traversing the American West, has to trek hundreds of miles in his beat up Jeep, in order to reach an urban legend rumored to be the only settlement still thriving.
***********
It's a Wasteland, baby. In the uncomfortably not-so-distant future, the world has been ravaged by natural disasters, water shortages, and public apathy. People like Kai Gilling have flocked to the desert (once known as the American West) in hopes of finding a better life. After picking up a pair of siblings, the three come across a strange woman who claims to have a map to Arcadia, an urban legend rumored to be the only city thriving in the wreckage of the old world. Will they keep their hearts set on an oasis in the desert--even if it's just a mirage? Or will they be tempted by something else
