She was sitting in a cafe, soothing music and warm tea coming in contact with her slightly pink chapped lips. Her hair in a tight french braid and her eyes were intense, her pupils dilated as the headlights from cars passed by her view of the final frontier. A theater in front of her. She had been there many times, space. Cars weren't fast, in face they could only go 40 miles per hour. And couldn't last for a day, now that gasoline and oil were squeezed out of the country. Because of their ruler, they had no contact to the rest of the world, this world was like a frontier of itself, most residences called it. "in primo finium" Latin for the first frontier.

The woman sat up from her seat, the tea now cold from the temperature around her. These were the few places that felt 'present day' since most of the population fleed if they had time. Many who populate the area also call this the "young era". The reasoning is this, about a decade ago people pointed out sighs for 'the end of the world'. First, there were noises in the sky like train and boat horns, filling any sound with its own. Next, some of the sky became a bright red, dancing and flooding the clouds with red. And the air, the air produced toxins that could make your respiratory system feel like it was engulfed in flames. Did people die? Yes. Although the few who survived had to fight in this new world. All around a young age. Those of age did die, because they couldn't handle the intensity, but anyone of age could die from it. The air would forever be that way, separating the strong from the weak. Although there were still people with other religions, they all believe that this is a sign of God's judgement on the world, even if it was only here, surely he would do it to the rest of the world. Hopefully, if there even is a god. The way life was going, no one knew. They mostly prayed, hoping god would listen. But, he never answered.

Our story comes back to the woman we talked about in the beginning. Hannah, she was an average height of 5"4 and would have been a junior in high school. There were no schools around though, not that anyone knew. Except for one, Eden. Like in the bible, the garden of Eden. Where Eve took the apple and ate it, creating the first sin on earth. It's sanctuary where everyone wants to go, the only place where this dead like population can go. Where people can learn. In the beginning, we also said she had been to space. In her dreams, yes. Real life? No. Since this place was like a birdcage, she could escape in her dreams. Like a parakeet stuck in a cage where it is neglected, and yearned to be loose and live in the world it sees through the greasy window.
