An upcoming short series, "Playing God" teaser

Smoke has concealed the skies in the year 2022, causing a lawless society to act out in a violent struggle for survival and domination.

Living a life of fear, is not really living at all. Aurora, Illinois in the year of 2022 has become a s**t blemish on the map of the United States. After The Absolve, robbery, grand theft, sexual assaults, and murder have jumped through the roof. Towering the mimicking known cities such as Camden and St. Louis. You can't walk down the block and take a left without having to spread your legs, and empty your pockets to spare a quick stab to the stomach. Gangs flock to the deserted areas to claim ownership to the desolate, that's how it works now. We fight for survival, for territory, for satisfaction and for sport. The Absolve, a government funded extermination that has purged more than forty-two states current calling the new age “Noah's Arc”. To them we were the filthy that needed cleansing, rats now sniffing out the lab coats in an experimental viral disease that ended in havoc.

Aurora is claimed by the FAK, spelling that backwards would read out “Kill All Faith”. A band of individuals that eliminates the remaining vows of Christianity. That is just one of many group that rebels. As for me, I am apart of New World Union. One of the original groups formed by Garret Benjamin, to come together as a new society and help one another. Not destroy each other. We are here to take back Aurora, to take back Illinois, to take back our lives. A battle for control. We are ready, are they?

My name is Bailey Andrews, and I am for New World Union. What do you stand for?

Author's Note

My first story that isn't horror, and I am quite proud of the idea. I classified it as Historical Fiction, but if there is any other genre that best fits it then please don't hesitate to correct me. I hope you enjoy reading the series as much as I will enjoy writing it. I will see you all next Tuesday.

I'm honored you believe my work to be creative enough, thank you so much. I used to write for HorrorKings back in the day, and I loved every minute of it. I will check out the blog, though shoot me a message and let's extract some details. I'm eager.

[Tristesse]

Dominique,

Thanks for the feedback! I look forward to seeing you Tuesday then. The Chapter is now complete and just processing some grammar errors that I encounter. Each chapter will be about 2500 words, with 12 chapters. Since this is a short series, 30,000 words is not only easy to obtain but a great start for a new genre I am dipping into. I am very excited to show you guys.

Best regards,
Tristesse

[The Lazy Layman]

Interesting! I like your writing style of crisp sentences that aren't unnecessarily verbose; it's refreshing. I'm curious to read more.

[Tristesse]

Mikaila,

Thank you for your review, I am a returning writer awaiting to release more content for readers to enjoy. I was a bit iffy on this idea, since it's not usually something I would write. However, I have come to love the idea and cannot wait to release more every Tuesday. I look forward to your feedback on future content of the story.

Thanks,
Tristesse.
