In the year 2038, the world had grown so much that humans were running out of land to live on. In a desperate lunge to survive, a willing and knowledgeable hero, Max Steele, stood in a last ditch attempt to save human kind from the brink of moral turmoil. He gathered all the countries together and, with all the countries' leaders, rose to become the greatest dictator... or leader, the world had ever known.
A computer was created to combat the growing communities by, every five months, sending out a mark in the shape of a small circle that would, at random, implant itself onto 600 people. Within minutes, they would be tracked and killed by elite specialists the world came to call, "Steelers".
Monica Grant is your typical teenage girl, living a... somewhat normal life. She had somehow survived 16 years without getting a Dot, and she was feeling good about it. Her mother worked practically inside Max Steele's building, and she was sure she had him to thank for her survival. On Dot day she didn't bother to check herself... it would be just like the others... right?
I originally found this idea, (about the dots, at least, I made up the rest), on a tiktok compilation video, so I'm not entirely sure who to credit, but I loved the idea, so here we are. Sorry I got kinda lazy on the description...
(Y/n)'s family was amongst the few people who had fled the city to find refuge in the forest far from society after the Infection had spread throughout the world like gunpowder.
Having never set foot outside of the Uninfected community, (Y/n)'s thirst for adventure had often led her to wonder what might await her outside the safety of her home. She knew what the Infection did to people, how it had corrupted every sense of moral and values in society. How it had corrupted the government and laws. She had heard of more tragic stories than she could count and knew she'd probably never have the courage to see the world for herself.
But when (Y/n)'s older sister, Grey, suddenly disappears after another one of her many explorations, (Y/n) finds herself taking a step out of the Uninfected community and into the troubled world of the infected city to find and save her sister.
Unfortunately for (Y/n), Grey isn't the only one in danger.
