Call the Dawn

Chronicles of Blue, Book 1

Despite being trapped in the limbo of this place, there had been a life she had lived before coming here, and there was a life she would live after she left.

It was just a matter of surviving until that day came.

About the Book

Sometimes survival isn’t what we think it is.

Survival doesn’t need to mean climbing tall mountains in freezing temperatures or making it back from a plane crash without succumbing to injury or disease.

Sometimes survival is quieter, less obvious. Sometimes it is made up of thousands of little fragments of perseverance that are difficult to

see.

Sometimes survival is radical acts. Persistence is what gives that resistance fuel.

We all carry the capacity within us to make it through, to keep lifting our chins and telling ourselves that there is no one coming to save us, so we best get on with the business of saving ourselves.

We don’t always remember that, but whether we remember it or not isn’t the salient point - the fact that we are inherently capable is.

Sometimes survival is about refusing to be erased.

About the Author

Dana Fleetham

Devastation Born Writing Collective grew from a group of friends who played around with turn-based and freeform roleplay for about a decade. At some point, we realized that not only had we made some compelling characters and storylines, but that we had built an entire metaverse around them.  

Not wanting to let these stories just fade into a series of evaporated game sessions, we set out to turn these stories into something that people could actually read. We started making stories in tiny little chunks called Storylets, basically tiny pieces of a broader interconnected narrative. Bringing together the best of zine culture and penny dreadfuls, most Storylets are between 5000-10000 words.

Along the way, our writer-members began producing other works, releasing a two-act stage play, Amrita, and a soon-to-be-released novella, Call the Dawn.
