The Dream of the Forest

Stjepan Varesevac Cobets

More than one hundred years have passed since the natural cataclysm on the Earth's surface. The year is 2197. The Earth's surviving inhabitants now live in Heavenly Cities above the clouds. They did not want to descend back to the unstable surface of the Earth.

Helen was a lawyer who lived in one of the cities. Her life was perfect, but soon she was to discover that all this was an illusion, for her dreams scattered like the leaves in the wind, and the only thing left for her to return to would be her hometown.

On her way home, a car accident on the heavenly highway turned her utterly different direction. Helen suddenly fell with the car down to the Earth's surface and into a forest world utterly foreign to her.

Was it true what they told her that no one had survived on the surface of the Earth? What if the truth was entirely different? What if on Earth there were survivors?
