Mystery
In the year 2478, war broke out and left the world terribly devastated. Nuclear weapon after nuclear weapon was fired, killing hundreds of millions of people and causing massive damage to the Earth itself. Many species went extinct, and if any survived, the radiation from the craters in the ground caused any animal to mutate in horrifying ways. Few people were left, most hidden in shelters far underground. Four hundred years later, after so long from being underground, many of the shelters are forced to vacate their safe facilities to face the Earth - or what's left of it. This story follows sixteen year old Sebastian Gray as he forgets everything he knows about the secluded underground to survive in the world he only heard stories of as a kid. (Warning: contains profanity and gore.)

It's been almost a hundred years since Earth's civilizations fell, leaving only ruins and memories. Long before the collapse, they began taking humans, but now, everyone knows who they are and they fear them. The few who manage to return from their captivity tell stories of how these creatures treat humans like animals or children, tending to them like pets or slaves. Most survivors live in hidden cities, avoiding the ancient ruined cities at all costs. But not Jace and his crew. As a group of Stray Humans, they've made the decaying cities their home, roaming the forgotten streets, never staying in one place for long, and bringing all their skills to the table. They are a family, working together to make sure those things, Aliens, never take another human as long as they are near. When the aliens of A.C.R. (Animal Care and Rescue) find a new group of humans wandering the ruins of a large city, they think it will be an easy capture. But they soon learn that these particular humans have more willpower than most. They dodge every trap, disappear around every bend, and even manage to take some of the already captured humans with them. The aliens pity these "little creatures"-they just don't want to leave their home, but Earth is falling apart at the seams, and they are determined to take the stubborn little humans to the safety of one of the mother planets. No matter the cost. Warning - This story may have -Self harm -Rape -Abuse -Suicidal thoughts and actions -Violence and gore -Uncomfortable scenes (If this isn't your first alien pet book, you know what I'm talking about)
