Summary
Eric was too young to remember the war, the plague, the way they lived before hubris and hatred crashed the population, killing off nearly every woman and, with them, any hope for a future.
Eric was too young to remember his mother, or anyone's mother; he was an Endgame Child, born in the final hours of the old world. He was part of the final generation. At least, until the genetic apocalypse began to mutate, creating within a few men the ability to carry a child. What should be seen as holy salvation was, instead, a commodity for a desperate world, and to most, Changing was synonymous with Death.
Eric was too young to remember any of this, but at 17, he wasn't too young to change.
