‘I take in all of their faces, a crew of injured, scared people. “People are trying to kill us and we’ve been forced to retaliate. At some point the fight will come to us and now we have to make a stand. Hate it or not, surviving no longer means letting just anyone live over us, however innocent they may be. We’ve risked too much to turn on one another or give up now, and we’ve fought too hard to let others stand in our way. So we fight anyone who wants us dead. It’s our lives or theirs.” As speeches go it might not be the most rousing but it’s enough to convince them of what we need to do to survive: kill or be killed, only this time it’s on a bigger scale.’

A year has passed since the events of the Great Cull and, whilst the survivors from the Middlelands continue to adjust to their new lives beyond the Fence, they are still burdened by the ghosts of the people they left behind.

But the ever-rising flood threatens any sense of safety they have and, today, the Upperlanders will make a second announcement: a solution that will save civilisation but make what happened last year pale in comparison.

It was a drop in the ocean. Now it’s a flood.
