The blue joy is calling... but can Fresco survive it?

"Do you know what happened to you?" Joey's voice broke a little. Fresco shook his head. The kid nodded, like it was no big surprise." Yeah, me either. No one seems to. We just have normal lives, you know? Then suddenly you wake up with this thing eating into you," he swallowed hard, "and that's it. The rest is Wasteland."

Seventeen-year-old Fresco Conte is an ordinary All-American kid from an upper middle-class family. He plays football. His girlfriend is a cheerleader. Life is good. Until unexplained things, scary things, start to take him over. Like surviving an accident that should have killed him. Or hearing the thoughts of the people around him whether he wants to or not.
 
When the men in the dark blue coveralls come for him, Fresco is forced into addiction to the blue joy known as Wasteland and set free on the street, with no answers and only his hunger to keep him company.

Diamond City Trilogy

As soon as Fresco's feet touched the top step, two things happened.

Fresco paused, gasping for air, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. He snapped out of his spiraling despair with a power filled slap in the face, but it hadn't come from someone. but from something. And that thing was the flight of dark and dirty stairs.


He reached for the awareness of it and received another jolt. When he did, he finally understood where he was. Superimposed over the subway entry was the image of the shining staircase leading down to the Diamond City.
