The wealthy fled the planet. The world kept dying. Griff didn't.
In the ruins of New New York, where acid rain falls from quiet skies and the sea swallows the streets. Griff walks what's left of the Earth with his robot companion, Gizmo. There are no rescue ships. No future colonies. Just poisoned air, collapsing cities, and the creeping strangeness of a planet that refuses to die quietly.
Griff isn't looking for hope. He's looking for whatever is left.
And something out there is watching him.

The Electric Archipelago (WIP)
This is the first draft of my new cyberpunk novel, The Electric Archipelago. In the future humanity is imprisoned by massive corporations. Computers are directly connected to their brains, creating a nightmarish state of absolute control, every action is monitored and harshly judged. Perhaps worst of all, the victim's perception of reality itself is controlled. A system of social credit hangs over everyone's heads. If you want to survive you will need to pick a company and stay loyal to that brand. But it goes beyond that, because each corporation has been infiltrated and taken over by forces that are interested in more than just profit. John is a Skinwalker, a free man, a man who is immune to these restrictions. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, moving from one augmented reality to the next, always looking for the next score.Complete![~•Flatlined•~ [Female V + Judy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/255672806-256-k606578.jpg)

REBIRTH [COMPLETE]
BOOK 2 After chaos destroyed, America fell into pandemonium and there was no communication with the U.S. After a pandemic crisis on the East coast, most civilization was abandoned near the Atlantic Ocean. After that, the world slowly began to fall to pieces and almost every country made a scramble to figure a way to make space travel easier so they could colonize a planet. But a new leader came out of the ashes and proclaimed they would consider the apocalypse a "rebirth" and proceeded (with his advanced engineering) to clear radioactivity from America and make it livable again. With the help of his crew, he builds a high security city and begins to build out past the east coast. Shortly after he rebuilds NY, he disappears and his advisor rises to power. He is a fair but cruel master (calling himself a Lord) and some people refuse to work for him. These people manage to escape the oppression of the Lord and live out on the wasteland that was once a great country. Some band together to make right communities and others rough it out by themselves, scavenging for a living.Complete

The Last Tree
Nearly seventy years ago, the nukes landed on London and the German Reich achieved victory in The Second Weltkrieg. The United States, strangled by sectarian violence and ideological struggle, watched from afar as the fascist eagle rose over the old world. A cold war froze the trade lanes of the Atlantic and the threat of mutually assured destruction kept the two titans from clashing, but now the war has begun to thaw. The Fuhrer of the Germans has taken his own life, and his empire is consumed by slave revolts and the liberal ideas of the new generation. For the first time in nearly a century, the path to freedom is open for the remnants of old Europe. In America, all pretense of unity has been abandoned. The nation has split into numerous successor states and micro-countries, all claiming legitimacy, and with some having the teeth to back it. Millions of refugees flee Europe as the old world burns in the greatest civil war in all of human history, and in the south of what was once the United States, a lone mercenary by the name of Carter takes a job that will change the fate of his home, a megacity called the Nash, forever.
