In a futuristic world, there is a city that is enclosed by a great wall. The society is very peaceful. They have unlimited resources and the idea of wars seems to be just a highlight of the lives of their ancestors. Living in such a society, it's very difficult to accept that every Utopia might face a bitter end. Paige, Blake and James Sanders discover that a Utopia can easily disintegrate into a playing field of fighting for survival. One day as the residents of this city were watching their Televisions, a terrorist appears, giving them terrifying news. He tells the residents that he was going to destroy the whole city, but those who would be spared were the few who could reach a gate just beyond the wall. Now people are murdering each other in an attempt to arrive at the gate first. The only mistake these people made was never questioning how many of them were given this privilege of survival.

Rogue. (IN REVISION)

Long ago, way before our time. A weary traveler left home to find new land for his family to thrive off of. Drought engulfed almost all of Elysium, called The Great Heat. The man traveled far and wide just to find a sign of life anywhere. It took him days and several hundred miles to find anything worth nourishment and care. He braved sand storms and blistering heat, his throat was dry and his feet could hardly carry him any farther. He collapsed onto the ground, his hands burning under the heat of the crackled ground. His vision blurred and mirages played with his suffering senses. His mind projected a tree into his line of vision, withering away but it's branches holding a single fruit. Besides his beliefs of it being a figment of his imagination, he crawled his way to it, bringing himself under the weak shade that it provided. He looked at the glistening purple fruit, what was it? He reached up to grab it, expecting it to fall through the image projected before him. His fingers wrapped around the fruit and he picked it from the branch. It was real! The fruit was real. He eagerly bit into the fruit and its juices trickled down his chin. He sat back and relaxed as the food nourished his body, he drank of its juices and picked out its many seeds, collecting them. He dug a deep hole until he felt moisture in the soil, planting the seeds into the ground. As it grew over time, the man used the old tree to build his home around the new one, tending to it religiously until it beared fruit. He brought his family and they lived there, planting trees and passing on the seeds for other places to spring life. Within five years the drought was over, Elysium was breathing again."
