Siren Song, Part 1 — Home By The Sea by Paul Gerard (a pen name) Four parts, an epilogue and a bonus story. At least that's the plan. No promises, though. Also, it's a slow start.

ADULT CONTENT. You must be 18+ to read. Introduction. This will be my only response to the humanitarian award for restoring the population. With all due respect to the Global Commission on Preserving the Human Genome, they don't speak for the depopulation agenda. The GCPHG can't pin this baby boom on me. I won't accept this award.
