A girl alone in a world filled with Shadows. Dark Gods, the Followers and demons are all threats. A dark presence watches over her, lurking in the shadows.

The new Shadow world is all that Shelly knows, she can't remember the Before World. She's travelled everywhere she can, from the US to Canada to Mexico but she longs to go further. The new world has it's limitations just as much as it's freedoms. For example being able to drop out of school to travel, living in an apartment of your choice in New York, meeting new people. But she's lucky, the only human left that's not a Follower. The humans who doomed the rest of the world so they could live forever. She doesn't have to worry about the Dark Gods and demons and the Followers like the Shadows. 

She lives her life one day at a time, appreciating everything she has and trying to stay hopeful. She lives a sheltered life away from the horrors that the Shadows face. Until it arrives in her building. 

Now she can't live in ignorance. The darkness of the world has crept into her life. And she is not happy. The only thing she likes dark is her tea and the pop culture she absorbs.

This is the adventure she has been waiting for. The hunt for the beginning of the end. She'll do anything (if she doesn't runaway) to end the darkness of the world and drag everyone back to life. Even if it kills her.

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.

Nice to meet you after all these years. You've grown so well. You look like a lot like your your mother. I smiled, getting a little uncomfortable with the comparison to my mother. "I see. I'm glad to give you company". "Thank you dear. It has been 10 years since I got Alzheimer and your mother just left me here. You sound kinder than her". I choked on my coffee hearing what she said, "What do you mean my mother?", I asked shockingly, not caring about respect for that second. "Yes, she used to visit me everyday when you were born. Huh! Sweet old times! Unfortunately, it has been 2 years". She seemed serious, more like disappointed, the real disappointment that one could not fake. I was about to blame her fuzzy logic on her alzheimer but she startled me with just a photo on her phone. A mid aged lady wearing a red dress that revealed most of her neck with her smiling widely, both of them holding champagne, looking like they were about to pass out. I scrunched up my mind a little and tried remembering my mom's face . The last time I checked, my mother didn't have a twin. I kind of grabbed the phone from her and rechecked the photo to only notice that it was taken exactly 2 years ago. I was shocked and tried to put things together but failed miserably. "But my parent's death were 5 years ago. How can my mother still be alive?" A story where a 19 year old girl, Chasey goes on an "uncalled for" adventure to find the last puzzle piece she craved for, all her life. Is she desperate? Yes. Will people show the same interest as her in finding their own unique mystery, investing their time and money? No. Why did she chose to? especially when it's not do or die. Because it was a need for her not a want. Word count - approx 28000
