A story about a unfortunate 27-year old man named Richard (or Richie for short) living on the streets in a isolated dystopian and futuristic version of Chicago. The city is ran by a unequalized government where social economic status is everything in the late 2000's. One day a mysterious large concrete wall that was said to protect the people of Chicago appeared without warning, although no one knows how it got there. The city continued to grow as time moved on, but Richard discovered a secret passage to the other side. When he discovers ancient secrets that make him a city wide target, and his traumatic childhood comes back to haunt him. How and what will Richard do when the Apex predators and authorities finally close in on Richard and his friends. Find out in my very first public novel, Trash Animals (Part 1)
