The world is under more and more pressure, more wars, more destruction more death; some of the worlds brightest scientists and doctors come together to create a way for everyone to communicate with each other this is called the 'glass cage' project.
They have a catalyst in the form of a young girl, and manage to get the experiment to work, everyone goes to sleep that night with hope in their hearts for a new world as they can now hear everyone's thoughts the need for words is over
Unfortunately; the experiment was a failure, those who fell asleep never woke up and it was assumed that all humans and immortals who slept had died. This however was not the case, due to some flaws, imperfections in DNA and pure lucky a small percentage of humans and immortals managed to survive the few handfuls of people scattered all over the world.
Items of particular value to people before they died have the ability to retain their last thoughts and memories, there are also ghosts who survive as well. One of those ghosts is the catalyst of the entire experiment that 'doomed' the world, and another is the man who put it all into motion. The first experiment ever done with thoughts was on himself, forever after he heard the negatives of peoples thoughts around him and became disheartened. After they all died due to the failure of the experiment he was lucky enough to come back as a ghost and began searching for a new catalyst to become the final nail in humanity's coffin.
Its been roughly twenty years or so, and nature has started to take back the cities and towns with surprising speed, animals have flourished and plenty roam the green covered cities and towns as if they were their natural habitat. The first catalyst was in love witht he man who put glass cage together - so a possible way to prevent him from destroying the world again is to reunite the two ghosts. Monsters named thought entities and phantom dogs roam the land, the moon is 4x fuller than it was before hand and is full 80% of the time.
