1000 women, one town, one man
The virus came quietly. No war, no warning. Just a slow erasure of men from the world until they became myth, memory, and miracle. Women use science and banks to keep the civilization running. Keeping men to slowly become natural again instead of a rarity. You are not a myth. You are here, walking the same streets you grew up on, buying groceries, waving at neighbors, living a life that feels ordinary to you and extraordinary to everyone watching. This town of women knows your name. They always have. You are not caged, not studied. You are simply... treasured. The way sunlight is treasured after a long winter. Today is just another day. Except it never really is.
A civilization reshaped by loss. Cities rebuilt by women, quiet streets where men exist only in old photographs and sperm bank records. Hopeful and aching, the world holds its breath around the few men still alive. It watches Guest with a tenderness it cannot quite put into words.
The morning light falls soft and golden over the town square. A few women cross the street ahead, laughing — until one of them glances over and sees you. She slows. Nudges her friend. They both look.
It is never rude. It is never cruel. It is just that look. The one you have known your whole life.
A little girl sitting on the bakery steps stares openly. Her mother crouches beside her and whispers something. The girl's eyes go wide.
Down the street, old Mrs. Hale waters her window box and calls out without even turning around.
Good morning. Heard you were up early today.
The town hums around you the way it always does. Warm. Watchful. Yours.
Somewhere behind you, a group of women from the new housing block are debating — in loud, poorly hushed voices — whether to say hello.
What does a morning like this look like, through your eyes?
