Almost Home

In a world where women take up only fifteen percent of the world population, the chaos is unfathomable to an extent no man could have ever imagined. Women are fleeting, diminished by an illness with no cure, and leaving only those imune to dwell on the Earth. Men have reached the peak of their startvation, feuling a worldwide raid to ensue.

Zipporah had been a nanny in her small village for several years, and a series of unfortunate events has left the boy an orphan for her to keep. When her little town is raided by the local army, her freedom is cut short, and she finds herself being married off to a beast of a man with no question. Zipporah finds herself caged for the sake of a child that was not hers, but cannot bare to witness their slow deaths if she was to reject such a proposal.

The Corporal of the Eastern Army is a soulless man, with his face smeared with indifference and heart cold as stone; he chooses a girl out of obligation. With his superiors off his back, he hopes his life could resume back to its normalcy away from the threats of marriage.

Little did he know that the little village girl he took would throttle his exsistence.
