The first installment of one of my long term projects...

The reign of the human race over the Earth is drawing to a close. The pitiful remnants of this once proud species are scattered over the land and their numbers are dwindling fast. They are a weak and sick bunch, these humans, few healthy children are born anymore and lifespans are short. They know the end of their kind is close and they will go quietly, nearly forgotten in the shadow of the Others that have sprung up to take the place of the humans as masters over the Earth.

One man knows his end is coming soon. He has left his home and begun a journey that will take him to places where his kind hasn't been seen in over a century. He wants to see what his species once was and remember the heights to which they rose. He wants to know that there is more out there than the sickness, death and depression that are so commonplace in his home.

His journey does not go well. The Others aren't friendly towards humans. Fear and gossip have distorted old truths and the human finds trouble when he enters a city of the Others...
