YEAR 020, AGD.

The Great Destruction lived up to its name. Our world has been turned upside down, twisted beyond recognition, with only desolate hints of broken nature as a glimpse of what we had before, and lost.

We find sanctuary beneath the ruins, as Realists. Those who are known as Escapists linger beyond our safety and drown themselves in empty fantasies, the last traces of a new technology strapped to their faces in an immaterial world, their minds lost, blood laced with disease.

The late Survivalists' journey will not be for nothing. Their assumed deaths will not be laid to rest and forgotten, lost out in the open, lost with our hope of a second chance at restoring our planet, restoring ourselves. A division of the new generation has stepped forward, led by a girl who seems to see hope where we have lost sight of it, hidden amongst the decay, the delusional, the rabid creatures riddled with fatal bacteria.

These Survivalists will adopt the same mission as those before them. They will leave Aridwatch Sanctuary behind to track down the C.C.C., the base where its technologists promised us stability, but never delivered, assumed dead along with the rest. Find the base, set us free. Restore communication with the space station in the high, starry airs to protect us, using the last of humanity's efforts with what they call Cosmia.

The Realist's last hold of hope hangs as tight as we can bear to our Survivalists; Annika, Cohen, Harriet, Luke, Emilie, and Jasper. We have trained them well into young adulthood, and now we wait for deliverance, as we have waited for two decades.

Live now to live well. Good luck, Survivalists.

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.

It was not noticed exactly when people began to fall victim to the broken life of routine and monotony but by the time humanity realized that witnessing strong emotion triggered violence in the infected, it was too late... In a world, where showing emotion is a dangerous weakness, love becomes the only beacon of hope. Evelyn Li is not a fan of risk. Confined to the safety of an underground bunker for the past two years, when Evie stumbles upon a radio broadcast hosted by a mysterious boy with a sharp tongue and an impressive record collection, she's inspired to embark on a mission fuelled by the belief that her family might still be out there (and definitely not because she's desperate to finally meet the boy whose voice has been her sole companion since the darkness descended). Jonathan Johnson is not an optimist and definitely not a romantic. He wasn't at all surprised when the world ended or even when the Soulless took over the streets. With the weight of rising tensions in the colonies, an absentee father, and heart-breaking tragedy resting on his shoulders, Jonathan would much rather escape into his record collection and secret radio broadcast than deal with the general bleakness of life in the apocalypse. As he is reluctantly roped into Evie's search for links to her past, Jonathan begins to wonder if he can ever truly escape his. Together, the unlikely pair must navigate the treacherous landscapes of both the unforgiving world around them and the complicated emotions within. Will their connection withstand the trials of a world consumed by darkness, or will it become just another casualty of the apocalypse? **Featured on Wattpad @ScienceFiction "Ambassadors' Picks," July 2024; "18 SciFi Romance Stories We're Obsessed With," November 2024; #4 Dystopian
