Reflect on Chaos

The world has ended, burned to the ground with the fears of the people. To some, it feels as if they are still on the brink of collapse. To others, their reality is a but a broken husk, a reminder of the lives that once went along as normal.

Beth was once a simple woman, just another face hidden among the crowd. She still is, one could say, but the basic days of her past have long since left her. She still blended in as with others, still hid, still was afraid of the future. Beth was normal.

But then, why would fate have brought her here if she was but another in the majority?

Thomas was oblivious to the world around him. He went throughout his daily chores as an onlooker to the city that never stopped churning. Thomas never watched the news, didn't even own a TV. Dismissing the frightened whispers that passed through his way from time to time as the tales of drunks and other of the unreliable sort, he had no clue as to why people thought the world was ending.

But then, destiny had him bound and gagged on his way to meet his savior, and he couldn't turn a blind eye even if he tried.

In a wager that may decide the future of two worlds, realities overlap and merge as contradicting forces in a catastrophic universe. Two people who would have never acknowledged each other before now find themselves depending on the other for survival, and yet they never even meet. The end is nigh, fellow citizen. What will you do about it?
