LOST GARDENS (2022)

Set in a world that indulges in a false luxury brought to you by the Etheon Corporation, a meek employee of the Ministry of Parts, Shawn Myers' life will be turned upside down by a defect in his technology implants which will send him spiraling downward by the economic forces to be. How will he escape while the life he built around him crumbles?

"He thought he was on the way to Cogswell, running from the crumbling life around him, but Shawn Myers wound up here in this dark unknown place. Why is he, of all people, here? There is a truth to darkness, an unsettling one, and it lies waiting deep below the Last Stop."

"Previously, Shawn wound up in a cave system under the Last Stop and discovered a hidden secret in the dark depths. A creature who calls itself Fear forced Shawn to relive some of the most painful moments in his life. All he wanted was something real. Did he get more than he bargained for? Helpless and vulnerable, Shawn, is found in an incoherent state by Elle and Benny who are on a mission of their own. Who are these people and what do they want? More importantly, what will they do having discovered a gravely injured Shawn?"

"After stumbling upon Shawn unconscious, Elle and Benny decide to take him back to Charlotte, but without the support of Michael of the One who vehemently argued against it. Shawn has awoken one week later since his nightmare in the tunnel system underneath The Last Stop. Afraid and alone in this new community. Shawn must navigate the perilous waters of being the first outsider in many years to ever set foot in Charlotte. Will he be welcomed or will he be sent back into the Boglands?"

"Previously, Shawn's battle with his inner self came at a critical moment. He must tell the people of Charlotte the truth of where he is from or keep it hidden, and he chose the latter. Introducing the leaders and prominent characters of this community, Shawn found himself in a world he doesn't understand, and must now adapt to survive. Shawn is still haunted by the events of his past, and will find himself in great danger unless he is able to persevere and rise above the challenges set forth for him."

"Previously, Shawn was tested by the Town of Charlotte. His lack of skills pushed to the very limits. Now, Shawn has been sent on a mission with the scouting party looking to uncover the next clue Michael is hunting for."
