The day the dome appeared felt like an eternity for the residents of the small town of Willow Creek, situated somewhere in the remote countryside. In the blink of an eye, five hundred square miles of land was enclosed in an impenetrable, mysterious force field that had risen from the ground, forming an invisible barrier that marked the edge of their new reality. The dome towered into the sky, its seamless surface reflecting the sun's harsh light. Not a single crack, crevice, or passage could be found within its walls. The world beyond the dome was no longer a part of their lives. Willow Creek, like many small towns caught inside, was forced to become self-sufficient. Every resource they needed to survive had to be obtained within the confined walls of the dome. This included food and water production, power generation, waste disposal, and even recycling materials.

It happened abruptly one crisp evening, five decades after the arrival of the dome. As dusk settled in, hundreds of figures descended from the dome's rooftop, gracefully landing in the middle of the town square. The townspeople, who were used to the quiet isolation of their small community, stood frozen in shock. The newcomers appeared bewildered and disoriented, claiming they had no idea how they ended up here. Except for one.
