Cure for a Nation
In the wild lands of Aurora, from the frozen seas in the north to the dusty peaks in the south, a war was raged. The war was between two great powers. In the western forests rested the Steel Imperium that relied on the brute strength of its advanced mechanical engineering and weapon systems while the Warriors of Technology in the east fought with precise devices and guerrilla tactics. The Imperium wanted to unite the territories of Aurora under one leader while the Warriors wanted to keep to tradition and let the territories govern themselves. The war was a long and bloody one that lasted for seventy years until the Imperium broke through the Warrior's lines and razed their capitol. At the same time, however, the Warriors slipped by and decimated the Steel Imperium's factories and destroyed their own cities. The factions fought until the bitter end, leaving nothing but wastelands and empty cities on both sides. Now seven years have passed and a disease has arisen from the ruins of Aurora and threatens to decimate the remaining population. Out of the sick and ever shrinking population, there is but one woman who has the means to find the cure. This is the story of Claire and her search for answers. Commenting encouraged.

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published!
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.
