Kids of the Slope

A quarter into the second decade of the 21st century, the world withdrew. As an unseen entity roams the streets and plagues the air, people were forced to lock themselves in their homes. The world beyond our cramped walls became devoid of any of the usual life and sound. Or so we thought.

When the people hide, another breed reveal themselves. When the dominant species are driven to the brink of extinction, will a new one arise to take the spot or will a primal one reappear?

Seven, a fresh college graduate, recently moved to Mahikay for his own shot in life. Isolation, for him, is the best way to prepare for his upcoming entrance exams. But with the advent of the pandemic, when everything took a 180 degree turn, he would soon realize that life, itself, will be the one shooting him - the supernatural way.
