Why? Because we'd like to see how many different kinds of stories we can create through this one small foundation. You can post in this thread or in the YWS lit section and link here. Anything and everything is possible and allowed (remember to rate everything you write if it's over pg!).
The Premise:
It is the year 2486 and Earth is not how you remember it. You are all that is left of a failed mission to cultivate the planet Mars and now you’re returning home. You’ve been gone for twenty years. The youngest of you were babes in arms before you left and the oldest are feeling their age. They’re looking forward to a quiet retirement back on solid ground.
But as I said, nothing is as you left it. Eight years ago you lost all communication with Earth but the spaceship only had enough fuel to make one return journey. The project was still in its youth and looking promising so you stayed and lived an isolated existence. But it got harder. The red planet’s soil was difficult to dig through and plants were too slow and not nourishing enough. Your supplies ran low. Then a year ago a foreign illness attacked your crew and you were forced to save those who weren’t infected and retreat.
You made it back to planet Earth feeling disappointed and worried over the possibility that you might have brought the disease with you. But when you arrive, there are no people. You land in America and find everywhere abandoned. You try the radio and all you get is static. You turn on the television but nothing.
What has happened since you left and are you truly the only humans left? Let’s find out.
The Characters: (Warning! Some profiles involve some over 18 suggestive material. Read at risk!)
Spoiler! :
Eventually this WILL be a storybook. If you want to join then, it's rad! But you won't be able to use any of these characters so feel free to create some of your own along the way.
Have fun!
