1969. It was the year of Manson's helter-skelter, the year we put a man on the moon, and the year two strangers watched the world end in a mushroom cloud of nuclear war.1966. This was a much better year. Well, for everyone except twenty-two-year-old Annie Edwards. Because it was the year she first saw the blonde-haired boy in her dreams. And although she believed in science, her gut told her these visions might somehow be connected to bizarre experiments happening on campus.As Annie and the mystery man known as Dimitri watch the world erupt in their dreams, they realize that the only way to save their countries, and the world, from nuclear destruction is to work together. They'll uncover the powers of dreams and nightmares, delve into hallucinogenics and insanity, and blur the line between the waking world and their subconscious.A race to space, a delusion of mind control, and the end of the world. Welcome to an experiment in dreams, drugs and war.-.. .-. . .- -- ... / -.. .-. ..- --. ... / .-- .- .-.inspired by prompts:"𝚆𝚑𝚎𝚗 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚒𝚌 𝚋𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚜 𝚊 𝚠𝚊𝚢 𝚝𝚘 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚖𝚞𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝚗𝚘 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚜 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚎." - #𝟼𝟿"𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚠𝚎 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚘𝚛 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚖 𝚒𝚜 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚊 𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗 𝚊 𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖." - 𝙴𝚍𝚐𝚊𝚛 𝙰𝚕𝚕𝚊𝚗 𝙿𝚘𝚎 - #𝟹𝟸-.. .-. . .- -- ... / -.. .-. ..- --. ... / .-- .- .-.published: 24/02/2021highest ranking: ---…

For 11 years, Lydie Abbott has been followed by snakes. She's also been framed for murder by a pantheon of storied gods, chased by mobs crying witchcraft in the streets, and stalked by monstrosities made of stardust. And yet it always comes back to snakes. She never considered that that is what would be the biggest drawback of making a dark deal with a fallen god. Twelve lives in twelve years. That was the agreement she made with the Medicine Man the night she fled from the constellations. The night the Ecliptic known as the Wishgranter was murdered and Lydie was the one holding the poison goblet. The night she lost all hope in the gods that raised her and the mortals that refused to accept her. She doesn't know what she gave to the Medicine Man in exchange for revenge against the Ecliptic, but she knows that without meeting the love of her life she wouldn't have stopped killing when she did. And without the death of her wife she wouldn't have left it all behind. Now all Lydie wants is to retire and redeem herself for the life of darkness she lived before. That was what Gastown was supposed to be; a haven for demi-humans and mythical creatures lost between worlds. But trouble just seems to follow her like a slithering serpent, as the land she's built for herself is taken from underneath her feet by a devout and jaded man willing to do anything to uphold his beliefs. Trapped from all sides, a kind-hearted girl named Mae convinces Lydie to stop running and face her past. To clear her name once and for all and uncover who truly killed the Wishgranter all those years ago. Of course, neither one of them knew this would mean summoning an Ecliptic to earth; a haunting and unearthly creature known as Moonchild.✧ ♒︎ ✧ † ✧ ☾ ✧The murder of a god gone unsolved, a pact made with a harbinger of the apocalypse, and a town built on superstition on the verge of collapsing. Welcome mortals, to Moonchild.…

It only takes 2.4 seconds for a radio wave to reach the moon.After 4.5 hours, the wave reaches Pluto; by then we'd already lost Seattle.In 4 years the signal can make it to our nearest star, Proxima Centauri; by then the dead had taken over the United States of America.︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵My name is Fernie, and I've never seen a zombie. Not alive anyway. I've seen the destruction they leave behind, the families they break apart, and the world they left us.

A one-man-cleanup crew destined to save the world-or the fifty-mile radius of the world I grew up in.Apart we survive, but together we thrive. That's what The Wave has taught me.

The Wave will help me find others, there has to be others.My name is Fernie, and I've never seen a zombie. I don't know about the world my great-grandparents grew up in, but I sure know it was bigger than fifty-miles.It's been nearly a hundred years since the world ended, how far do you think the wave is now?︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵How do you outrun the living dead? For three brave teenagers, the answer lies in their homes. One off the coast of what was once Alaska, one high in the mountains of South America, and another separated from them both by an endless sea. Alone they only have fragments of the history of their planet, but together they can discover where they came from. Join Fernie, Naira, and Kupe on their crusade to rebuild the world.
