Any post-apocalyptic story needs to be after a disaster. Mine is set after a global environmental upheaval that occurs at the changing of the Mayan calendar. The Mayans had a lot of things worked out and some alternate historians surmise that the Mayan civilisation was coming to the collapse of a highly advanced society. A point where knowledge was being lost instead of increased.
Whichever theory you subscribe to, it is undeniable that their building, architecture, writing, astrology and astronomy were quite advanced. The Mayans measured time in not only days, months, and years; but also in Worlds. If the theory is correct then the world ends in 2012.
Then the New World begins. A new world that in my story heralds a shift in the permutative forces that make up our reality, allowing for esoteric energies to become as recognisable as scientific laws. By 2071 these energies are beginning to coalesce and focus. Opening this little science-fiction saga into other future pathways.
