We all knew the day would come, the day when our societies crumble into nothing - What we did not expect was that It would not be our own doing, but otherworldly beings. It was devastating when it happened, the masses of our population were eliminated - Some countries took a harder hit than others, not that it mattered in the end anyway. We did the only thing we could - we ran like prey, not caring about the stragglers left behind. It is funny when roles reverse like this. The once dominant and thriving species burnt to ashes, like we were never there. It was survival of the fittest, well that is we are told by our colony leader. After that day, we were forced into hiding. Below ground seemed to be the safest escape from our sky invaders. So below ground, small cities began to grow into what stands before me today - The Gorge... home. Our people run on a moneyless system - your work hours generally determined your worth. We are a colony that thrives on working tirelessly for our leader, our savior. We work as hard as we do because he keeps us safe in this enclosed sanctuary. We show our dedication to our leader by biding to the declaration of compulsory 5-year military service. Our leader encourages long work hours and to work hard in the military, all to improve our worth. He is a thoughtful man, always having our best interests in mind. He is here to protect us...right?

BOOK 2 After chaos destroyed, America fell into pandemonium and there was no communication with the U.S. After a pandemic crisis on the East coast, most civilization was abandoned near the Atlantic Ocean. After that, the world slowly began to fall to pieces and almost every country made a scramble to figure a way to make space travel easier so they could colonize a planet. But a new leader came out of the ashes and proclaimed they would consider the apocalypse a "rebirth" and proceeded (with his advanced engineering) to clear radioactivity from America and make it livable again. With the help of his crew, he builds a high security city and begins to build out past the east coast. Shortly after he rebuilds NY, he disappears and his advisor rises to power. He is a fair but cruel master (calling himself a Lord) and some people refuse to work for him. These people manage to escape the oppression of the Lord and live out on the wasteland that was once a great country. Some band together to make right communities and others rough it out by themselves, scavenging for a living.
