I was left there to die in the smoke and rain and nobody came for the gunshots. The beauty of this city. Now I was sitting between two trash containers and day-old birdshit to bleed out. I had no illusions about my end and this setting was fitting to the last letter.

Breaking Point
I watch the blood drip down his body as I sat in the tube. With each breath my life flashed before my eyes and tears began to roll. Both of our breaths growing more shallow as time passed.

WRETCH
After The Break, the world didn't end - it simply began to rot. No one remembers what came before. Beings wake up in this place: alone, disoriented, afraid. They survive - but they don't know why. There's no salvation. No answers. No god. Only a slow, inevitable decay. They are the Wretches. And this is their world.

The Last Tree
Nearly seventy years ago, the nukes landed on London and the German Reich achieved victory in The Second Weltkrieg. The United States, strangled by sectarian violence and ideological struggle, watched from afar as the fascist eagle rose over the old world. A cold war froze the trade lanes of the Atlantic and the threat of mutually assured destruction kept the two titans from clashing, but now the war has begun to thaw. The Fuhrer of the Germans has taken his own life, and his empire is consumed by slave revolts and the liberal ideas of the new generation. For the first time in nearly a century, the path to freedom is open for the remnants of old Europe. In America, all pretense of unity has been abandoned. The nation has split into numerous successor states and micro-countries, all claiming legitimacy, and with some having the teeth to back it. Millions of refugees flee Europe as the old world burns in the greatest civil war in all of human history, and in the south of what was once the United States, a lone mercenary by the name of Carter takes a job that will change the fate of his home, a megacity called the Nash, forever.

A perpetual winter grips the globe, not with snow, but with a frigid silence that has rendered all but the strongest technology useless. Society, once a sprawling web of connection, has been reduced to millions of isolated lives, each confined within the glowing walls of their personal tech-pods. The world's collective heart has grown cold, and humanity has turned its back on itself. Now, as the great freeze threatens to sever the last digital threads connecting them, a low hum of panic pulses through the global network. With the last remnants of power failing, the isolated masses huddle in their pods, desperately clinging to the final, flickering embers of a world they've forgotten how to live in together.

The Nobody
I awaken in the middle of the night. Laying in my bed, I look around the attic. Dusty and dirty as usually, but now wet because of the storm. Drops of falling water were heard around the room. Other than the constant sound of thunder, and pouring rain.Complete
