Helen is a lawyer who lives in one of those cities. Her life is almost
perfect, but very soon she is going to find out that it was all just
an illusion as her dreams scatter like leaves in the wind and the
only thing left for her to return to will be her hometown.

questions and very few answers.
The number 1 question being - is it really true what the government told
her and the surviving population that no one ever survived down on
Earth? Well, what if the truth was the complete opposite? What if
there really were survivors?

Helen switched off the video phone and watched its dark surface for a long time. She glared at the apartment where believed she had found happiness. It had been a fake and now it was crumbling into dust. These items they gathered over the years: books, paintings, banal things—everything was still in place. His clothes were still arranged in the closets. She grabbed one of Leon’s favourite electronic books, leafed through it for a moment, and then threw it on the bed. Soon, every book and other small items he owned laid in a pile. After that, it was time for the large wardrobe with its clothes and shoes. When that was over, the bed contained a large mound of his things and her sweaty face lit up with a satisfied smile. She held up the four corners of the silk sheets and tightly tied them up. Helen stood across from the pile, placed her hands on her hips, and said, “Now you’ll see who the rich fool is! Jenny!”
Hovering in the air, Jenny appeared opposite her and asked quietly, “You called me?”
“Start recycling program.”

At a very young age, he started reading and loved it because, through
books, he traveled to places he could never visit in person. As a
child, he loved fairy tales and adventure but later discovered other
genres. When he found a Jules Verne book in the library, he became
fascinated by science fiction. He has been writing poetry for fifteen
years and has started writing science fiction. Lately, he has also
written children's fairy tales and fables.
