Read the Science Fiction Thriller

From the founder of Storymind

Man Made follows a mysterious force as it sweeps around the globe erasing anything man made - from buildings, vehicles, and technology to medicines, clothing, and dental work.

Governments stagger under the panic, religions are at a loss for an explanation, scientists strive for any means to stop or divert the phenomenon, and the world’s population from families to individuals struggle to prepare for The Event, which will drive humanity back beyond the stone age.

The Event is coming.

Are you prepared?

Plot - Act One Ending


By the end of act one everyone and everything should be ready to embark on the quest.  All preparation, all acceptance is completed.  Just as when you are going on vacation you turn off all the lights, pet the pets, lock the doors, put the suitcases in the car, get in the car, put on your seatbelt, start the car and drive off out of sight... all this must be completed by the end of the first act.  The second act begins with the car on the road.


Referring the material you selected for the first act, describe the remaining exposition that has not yet been revealed, which will bring your first act to a close.


Be sure all of the material you listed in act one has now been distributed into sections one, two or three.
