Imagine if World War 2 had been a cover-up this whole time. Imagine if every country had no idea that a larger mysterious power was leading over everything and everyone. The United States got power hungry after World War 1, so they began to devise a plan to keep gaining more control, not cluing the President in. The government descended into oppression for centuries, putting more control on the people, arrests for no reason, and checkpoints, like a living prison. People have to hide who they truly are. Safety is not guaranteed. Then, out of the ashes, a little rebellion that has been forming for years arises, with an insane hope that they can stop this tyranny and oppression.

A World Once Lost
The world ended not with a whisper, but with fire. Now, in the ashes of a nation, one spark of rebellion could ignite everything. President Truman Jones promised freedom. What he delivered was surveillance, silence, and slaughter. From the safety of his underground bunker, he unleashed a storm of war that scorched the earth and shattered the old world. Now, the remnants of humanity live in fear-haunted by the masked enforcers of SILO, hunted for any act of defiance. In the rubble of a once-thriving town, a small group of survivors clings to each other, scraping together hope from broken dreams and rusted steel. But when a routine mission leads to tragedy-and a child goes missing-Missy Rees and her makeshift family are forced into a desperate chase for answers. Haunted by grief, driven by love, and pursued by monsters in uniform, they will risk everything to unravel the truth behind SILO... and confront the shadows of their pasts.

The Identity Crisis
I have forgotten what it feels like to be free. To have a voice. I can't say anything, or else they might catch me. My parents would never forgive me. I'll be arrested. Maybe even killed. Probably killed. We didn't open our eyes in time to see the train come barreling down the tracks. It crushed our freedom, burned our self-worth, and now we have to pay the price. All because we didn't see it coming. The American Constitution doesn't apply to us. All of the activists were silenced. And now it's all coming back to bite us. We'll just have to bite back harder.
