Crescent Truth - Extract 001

The city glowed in the haze of the evening. The dusk approached from the East, but the darkness never came. Neon lights pulsed through the narrow streets, a cacophony of colors danced, enthralling those who gazed too long. The rhythmic drums boomed interminably in the depths of Formica, right at the heart of Sapphire City. A whole district alive with clamor and vice, each soul floating on fleeting highs. Every night told the same story yet those who experienced it kept coming back for more.  

Camina strolled through the dense crowds, it had been a while since she had been to this part of town but despite this, she was oblivious to the intoxication and allure of her surroundings. There was a job to do and there was no time for escape, not tonight. She was heading to a dark place, and she was afraid of the darkness. She knew she must face any fears that arose head on, her first task was to walk straight towards the streets of the damned.

Tales from a Dystopian City

Our Lonely Road 

'I miss the days of strife, the dark decade, at least then we had a purpose, something to fight for, someone to follow. Comfort and routine have returned to our lives but along with it, aimlessness. The Guilds have won, they have taken the fight out of me. No one can stand up to them, they are too dominant. An all-powerful entity that controls not through fear or censorship but through an idea. This idea has infected the minds of our people, the seed implanted when we were most vulnerable, after years of turmoil our guard's dropped. That seed has grown to sap any thoughts of discontent. People want order, they want comfort. Ten years of hell reminded us how good we had it before, and we crave a return to the solace of structure. There is one who could stand up to them, but do we really want him to? Are we ready for another fight?'

Tales from a Dystopian City

Aura News. Opinion Piece - Broken Promises. 

'It is tough to observe our reality with the knowledge of what we were promised at the turn of the century. A utopia of a clean planet, equality for all, economic harmony & rapid technological advancement was sold to us by politicians and global business leaders. We bought into these ideas and sat back to watch our species prosper. Unfortunately, these goals were so at odds with our human nature and our lethargic tendencies that as the years progressed with little actual change all we could manage was a collective shrug. As old conflicts re-emerged and new threats surfaced to challenge our comfortable existence, we turned our back on progress to just keep our old way of life. It seems that as a society, when our back is against the wall, we tend to turn away from progress and focus our energy on survival.'
