You know your day is gonna be shitty… shittier than usual, when, first thing in the morning, you wake up and the world is ending. Why do I say shittier? Well, for starters, the world had been ending since 2022, so for the last thirty years and then something. Sure, we were keeping up, making sure the aliens – because yes, aliens were real, there were, apparently, a lot of them, and a specific type had beef with us… and everything else – didn’t manage to destroy us, but really, sometimes it seemed that they weren’t even the main threat to our continued existence. No, humanity itself was doing a pretty good job of that all by itself. Between climate change turning the North Pole into a slushie and Antarctica into Iceland 2.0 – that joke would’ve been funnier if Greenland hadn’t been a cold wasteland – causing the levels of the oceans to rise high enough to change the geographical maps, the corporations turning life into a capitalistic, bureaucratic, mess where everything was for sale but, in the end, you owned nothing, well, let’s just say that things could’ve been going a lot better. Of course I’m saying all this in retrospect. At the time my story began, I had other things to worry about. And I’m sure yall are not here to hear me ramble about all the shit in the world. You’re here for the daring charges, the idiocy of youth, maybe some aggressive snogging – who am I kidding, you’re definitely here for that – and a good cuppa chaos. So come along, I’ll try not to disappoint! Follow Alice as, like an itty bitty spider, she creates her web of people to help her make a better life for herself and those around her, all while turning aliens into swiss cheese!
