12 Islands: Episode One: Get the Girl

They were just rumors, but they might be true. No one really knew how to solve the freshwater problem. One rumor was the U.S. Government contracted with a company to harvest water from near earth objects, but it was just a rumor. And, even if it was true,it was too little, too late.

The erosion of trust in the U.S. Government was only the beginning. But it was the beginning of the end.

In the near future, the only thing worse than the brutality is the loneliness. Mankind's greatest achievement: the rule of law, no longer exists. Those who survive must kill or steal for water.

The last of the major governments advised those who are too weak to fight to consider suicide or risk prolonged suffering.

Episode One: Get the Girl...
When Allison lost her family, she lost her protection, support, and more importantly; her will to live. She decides her suicide should be at sea where her family was murdered. She attempts to bleed herself out on the deck of her sailboat.

Yet, she is robbed of death. She awakens alone in the middle of the ocean with her arm stitched up and a note pinned to her shirt that reads: "not yet."

But what's more troubling than being robbed of death is Allison cannot account for the last twenty-years. And although the world seems to have calmed, all that's left of it are a handful of islands. And soon, all that will be left is water.

That is unless she can find the person who saved her before those who killed her family manage to find her first.
