In the year 2044, a group of janitors travel to a vacant backyard to clean. The catch is they'll be insect size and those insects are mutated. No thanks to a previous janitorial company's product beginning a pandemic, Cox Janitorial Co promises to fix the mistake twenty years ago. Amongst the group is an anxious young man. He doesn't want to go, but his superior forces him out of laziness (on his part). When the team arrives, the ship malfunctions and crashes into a koi fish pond. The man survives, but believes his crewmates are dead. He ventures into the backyard alone, while piecing together a conspiracy.All Rights Reserved

The Cave by OlehWolansky

Five co-workers and a guide struggle with a creature, a live relic from the past and from another dimensional plane. The creature is simultaneously lizard and birdlike, while also having anthropoidic characteristics. Once upon a time, this alien race made contact with a lost human Civilization in the region. The two races initially made an alliance, but the greed of some of the humans caused a war to erupt. The discovery and cursory inspection of the cave by one of the characters results in an impromptu, amateur tour. During the journey through the cave one of the co-workers, through a combination of stubbornness, curiosity and willfulness, becomes separated. He stumbles upon a cache of interesting artifacts inside of an oddly inhuman room with alien technology. It is in these confines where he unlocks the being whose last memories of human interaction are still freshly stinging its memory. The group grapples through the tenuous caves trying to escape the creature's vengeful wrath. The ensuing mad flight from the cave to relative safety results in a battle for survival.

They endured, and they thrived. They took up residence on this lovely blue-green planet long before the first human stood up on his two feet, and they will be here as ever-present witnesses to the workings of time as our cities are abandoned and reclaimed by the forces of nature. At the height of our power, we humans did all that could be done with our planet. We mapped, we charted, we analyzed, we conquered. We tamed and we eradicated. We silenced and we manipulated. Yet we could not seem to put a dent in the thick-skinned little class Insecta. Kill a roach, and there will always be another to take its place.

He is not alone, however, as reincarnated bounty hunter Leah believes that Liam holds the key to reversing the pandemic that created her race. Armed with their survivalist expertise and following traces of the past, the two must traverse the wastelands together and bring back life to an otherwise dead world, even as they are pursued by a tyrant who does not want this plague to end. ------- Top tags to date: #1 in Gritty 12/21/2022 - 1/11/2023 ------- New chapters will be posted on Mondays, 4:00-6:00PM EST.
