Dark. Black. Empty.

The 3 words Elliot used to describe the life he was living...The life everybody was living.

Once upon a time, light poured into the streets of places like New York City. Wherever you looked, there were people. The young ones stood, grasping the wonders of the new world. And it was not just them who were mystified by the beauty. For everyone, a new experience lay ahead. An experience just for them.

It wasn't just big cities like New York that were damaged... It was the whole continent of North America. The entire earth being damaged was a large possibility. To the ones who lived in America, every source of news had been cut off, leaving no way to know. As far as Elliot knew, there was no phones, computers, TV's, or anything like that. Maybe the lucky ones had them. But luck didn't exactly exist in this world... Not anymore.

Now the world was nothing but a lost and lonely place, full of chaos and crime. You could call it a purge...One that lasted forever.

No justice, No mercy, No honesty. Trust nobody but yourself. In this world, this horrifying life that we had created ourselves... The weak didn't survive. Kill or be killed. If you hid, they would find you eventually.

Elliot himself didn't know how he made it this far... He thought he should've been dead by now... It would probably be easier to be dead than to live in this hell of an earth. Yet, he couldn't die. He knew he had a purpose in this world.

To find Iris.

Iris was Elliot's soulmate. She was beautiful, kind, funny. Just plain amazing. There was a haven... but only one could make it there. That one person was Iris... Now Elliot was on a journey. He would walk the world, swim across oceans, make it through this apocalypse. And he would find her.
