Meanwhile…

No one saw this coming. You don’t think it could happen to you. Living in Fear. That is the first sign. Living with constant worry? It started with COVID. No one saw the Parallels. No one studied History. I did.

COVID played out the exact same way that Atlantis played out. Both were a “test” to see how strong the Enemy was. You want to know how your Enemy. will move? You want to learn how your Opponent thinks? Play Poker with them. Play Chess with them. Take their Queen out. You’ll see just how they move.

They never once thought “The Enemy” would be the Citizens.

I thought about writing the next Zombies From SPACE… And Vampires! And that’s when I realized… I am. Only the characters are different. The Players are different. And this time, it’s real life.

I am Mara Lane. The real Aria Danes.

Zombies from Space? Vampires? I wish.

What we got was so much worse.
