Reese has been practically on her own in the above since she was eight years old. Born in a bunker nearly six years after the sky rained a type of hell that should've killed everyone. And it almost did. The life that lasted through the first years of the new world was violent as resources were scarce and people became more and more desperate. The animals had mutated into monsters and it was difficult to find freshwater or maintain crops. People fell into small groups, and travelled as the malicious seasons changed and brought new dangers to each region. Running into other groups meant war. Battles for supplies, and trade were unavoidable, no one could stay hidden safely for long. Those who were fortunate enough, wealthy enough to prepare had bunkers. But eventually even they began to run out of resources and were forced to enter a harsh world they'd never known. Though many of the most wealthy still remain safe underground, it is common to meet people who formerly resided in bunkers. They missed the harshest times, but things are still unsafe and many didn't survive the new way. Nearly twenty two years since the day of reckoning, Reese travels with only two companions, Esther and Attis as they try to survive in the new world. Until one day they find a settlement left in ruins. It was all too familiar...

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
