Life passes by, one second at a time. The world has a way of throwing us in at the deep end and watching as we struggle to find a hold. Each day provokes a set of new challenges, perhaps attempting to crush our very existence. But what if these problems were only in our minds, what if the things we knew to be true were instead demonstrably incorrect?

Life is not as it seems. Why is our home faced with so much violence and disruption? Is it because we are instinctively this way, or is it because we have been left here to fend for ourselves, to overcome one of the harshest environments known to life? What could we have possibly done to deserve this punishment, and are we victims of our own mortality?

Jack discovers the life he has been living for thirty years is nothing but a lie. He goes on a journey of discovery to find out what exactly happened to bring him to this awful place, and why he can't remember ever being away from it, and if there is more, why is it being hidden from the rest of humanity.

The place is called Earth and it's not the only planet with human residents.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
