the eden protocol

Set in a possible future.

The quiet after the explosion was as loud as the blast that leveled Eden, the last human city to survive the Conflagration. When Eve came to, her ears were still ringing with the echoes of the destruction. She stumbled around in the semi gloom, disoriented by the impact and smoke. She tripped and fell, scraping hands and knees on shrapnel. Too dizzy to get up, Eve crawled around in a daze, eyes watering.

Something felt warm and solid under her exploring hand. A human leg. The leg twitched and she gasped. She gingerly ran her hands up the leg, up the torso and the chest that rose and fell with difficulty. Her fingers brushed against something jagged and she paused. Taking a shaky breath, she carefully felt around the sharp spike that did not belong there, and her insides deflated. She quickly wiped her sticky palms on her pants, leaving bloody handprints, then touched the face: it was Jax.
