Between the Walls

By: Alex Benay

Their families were deported beyond the Wall once the Great Decline started spreading to every country around the globe, and they have been fighting for their lives ever since. Disease and slow economic collapse forced most countries to put in place dramatic measures to manage the growing number of poor citizens. Deporting these people beyond the Wall was supposed to be a temporary solution that would buy nations time to get back to normal. Except no one understood there would never again be a return to normal. Gangs rule the streets of the new cities beyond the Wall. Starlight Foundation, a corporation hired by the US government to manage the operations in this new territory, is trying to manage the chaos. But lost in the middle of all this turmoil are the day-to-day lives of its citizens. A former paramedic and his daughters, a naive Starlight intern, children of the streets, and a gang leader's lives all intertwine in this portrayal of what life between the Wall is really like. They cannot all make it out alive, and the good people do not always win. What would you do to survive? How far would you go? Find out how the residents beyond the Wall cope with everyday life-or-death decisions as they try and escape the slow decay of New Pittsburgh. 2
