ON HOLD TILL FURTHER NOTICE Book 1 in the Dream Elements series. Trapped in a cancerous dream. #ONC2021 Prompt 32:- 'All we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.' The universe is being wiped away by a plague of unknown origin and no matter how many tries are done, no one seems able to understand the 'why', the 'how', but more importantly, the 'what to do'. It takes one man with eyes wide enough to see beyond true science, one child with a mind wonderous enough to save an entire civilization, and one girl hardened enough to break down for something she never could have imagined possible, to help the planet; Nigale but it is going to take more than just the three of them to save it. ~.~.~.~ Naomi Vaynderin has been a loner for too long in her life. Having been born into a world of corruption and pain, she was forced to learn the hard way how to take care of herself. She didn't have the capacity to care for anyone else and the fact was made clear by the career path she chose. In a system where no one was guaranteed a life expectancy rate above 30, it was herself first and no one else. This all changes when her safe house is discovered by government officials and she is captured and held in a facility that reveals more to her than she could ever have known. 'A disappearing tower that possessed more energy than an entire nation, a cult group of scientists fighting against the corrupt governance and a planet whose science had yet to be understood', Naomi could tell already that she was in for the mission of a lifetime.
