Most of us have been living in here our whole lives. We have no idea what lies beyond the walls nor what our books describe; separate buildings for different families, choosing jobs, earning money and exploring different 'countries'. Our knowledge is limited to our elders, books and 'the liberators'. The liberators are the only ones that the elders allow beyond the walls, they are the best of the best. Then there's the rest of us; the healers, the farmers, the teachers, the scouts and the protectors. I'm a protector but lately our job has been getting irregularly and inexplicably arduous. People are starting fights for no reason. The space we have within the walls is limited anyway, that normally forces people to get along. After all, who wants to start a problem with someone that you will have to see everyday. A sparse amount of people live here compared to the planets original population, well that's what our elders and the books say. Recently the liberators are going out on longer more regular 'raids' outside of the walls. They've started doing more intense training and bringing in more scouts to join their reconnaissance missions. Daniel, my paired, told me that, when he got sent to deliver a message from our commander to theirs, thar he over heard talk about a spread and prospected surge of the abominables. The abominables are the creatures that our elders say forced us to build the walls in the first place. It's written in some of the books that the abominables had swarmed the Earth before, thousands of years ago hitherto even the birth of our elders' elders. Now their back and we don't know how to stop them, the elders nor the liberators nor even the scouts are telling us what's happening but we're going to find out and we're going to stop them because they hunt us but we no longer want to be their food.... We are now the hunters. WARNINGS; Violence, gay characters, possible slow updates, ZOMBIES!

Static

{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16
