The Roo Collective — Chris Hechtl

The Roo lived underground and did their best to get by. They lived in a cruel dangerous world but stubbornly held on to their ideals. Some of their people were doing their best to improve their lives steadily by introducing inventions. Others fought, bled and in a few cases died to protect their growing society from the beasts in the forests above. But then strange beings in a giant silver craft landed in a clearing nearby and began to wreak havoc. The Roo must learn to defend themselves like never before.The Roo collective is a collection of 4 short stories combined to tell their story.
