Prompt #3 Your greatest fear is monsters in the dark. The last thing you expected is to become the monster in the dark.
Teraphobia: The Fear of Monsters
Aislinn Raine is deathly afraid of monsters. A traumatic ordeal at the age of five steals her voice and makes her a prisoner of her own design. She watches as her fellow man reaches their breaking point plunging her world into a live-action purge. The planet is on the verge of self-destruction; droughts plague the earth, countries that were once under peace treaties are now going to war to dominate one another, and bioweapons are unleashed to bring the human race to the brink of extinction.
No one expected to have their saviors rise from the shadows.
No one expected their saving grace to become their new masters.
The monster has a name, Mother Eve, and humanity's only hope for salvation rests with the Virtuoso. A being spoken about in hushed whispers. A being capable of being humanity's salvation.
Will Aislinn be able to find them or will she become the thing she fears?
