They say I'm caught up in a dream
A city, much like the busy and never sleeping city of New York, sits peacefully inside an immense geodome. It's well taken care of, clean, and even has its own man-made atmosphere with controllable weather. The city inside is entirely self sustainable for the population of around 6.5 million - the entire population of humans left on the once blue, vibrant planet. Outside the dome is a world unspoken of. A thick blanket of clouds and ash block the sunlight away from the surface of the planet, leaving very few types of plants and animals able to survive. What did survive, mutated and adapted thanks to centuries of an almost uninhabitable atmosphere.
War between species'; nuclear weaponry used by the human government to wipe out the growing supernatural threat that had boomed in colonies all over the planet, ultimately destroyed it. That was just after the dome was created. The government moved their elite and valuable, and humans with a needed trade into the dome, and left the rest to the shadows. But that didn't stop the blood thirst and the need for revenge...

Annabelle Marie Addington
Ann stepped off the city tram and brushed her bangs to the side. She adjusted her over the shoulder book-bag and straightened her uniform with a heavy sigh. She glanced to her right, in the direction of her new home; three whole levels of a skyrise condo complete with maids, servants, chefs and her new soon-to-be step siblings. Ann was like Cinderella in that hell of a new life. She didn't have to do any cleaning or serving of course, but she was definitely the unwanted, lowly step child, unwelcome in her new sibling's home.
She turned and began to walk in the opposite direction, towards the outskirts of the city where the dome began, or ended. One would almost believe that the UV lights built into the frame of the dome were real sunshine. In fact, many people chose to believe just that. But outside the dome, beings with a thirst for revenge were working towards bringing the utopia down, and today was their day. Their day to finally satiate their bloodlust.
Between the loud explosions and power outages and the chaos that ensued, Ann couldn't even recall exactly how she got to where she was in between two buildings near the edge of the city. People were screaming and running this way and that. Pieces of the dome and UV lights were crashing to the ground, shattering and making deafening sounds. Her heart was racing and she was covering her ears, afraid to leave the sanctuary of the buildings. Deep mysterious eyes watched what little glimpses she could in the flickering light, horrified at army of creatures that were crawling, leaping, running, and attacking their way through the city.
