Trust No One

Three years ago, the world we knew fell apart. It all started with the weather; something that didn't seem significant at the time, but played a vital part of our downfall later. Then came about a disease with no cure. Most who got it died, but some fell into a comatose state. Not many woke up. The ones that did were changed. I am one of them. And let's just say I'm surprised at the outcome of our world.

Gangs run the world, and they are relentless in recruiting and in territory expansion. Drugs and liquor are being sold openly on every street. Girls are being bought and sold as slaves and prostitutes. Money isn't a problem because it doesn't account for anything anymore; that's what stealing is for. What's left of the government is being executed daily.

The world I knew is gone, replaced with one fiercer and harder than ever before. Yet not all hope is lost. I've heard a rumor about a place of sanctuary.

Paradise is so close within my reach, and I'll do whatever I have to so I can get there.

But it won't be easy, especially when girls are scarce and everyone is on the hunt for people like me. So I'll have to reinvent myself to fit into this new world, and become the girl I need to be in order to survive.

(All rights go to me.)
