For @ScienceFiction 's Anniversary Challenge, we had to produce a 10K story.
PROMPT: 'Inhabitants of Earth must take to the stars in order for the human race to survive. To remain would involve certain extinction. Where they go, what they encounter...
In this alternate reality, World War II is over, and the Allied Forces are no more. The Axis Powers obliterated them and now occupy North America. Specifically, the Japanese rule the west coast states while the Germans control the eastern ones. Between them there's economic and cultural tolerance as they strive to establish an Aryan Colony in the Haven Zone - a central divide spanning from Montana to New Mexico. However, The Führer is forced to alter his plans when Allied Insurgents acquire an old Nazi Weapon of Mass Destruction, and threaten human life as the Great Reich know it...
Inspired by 'The Man in the High Castle' by Phillip K. Dick.
