A post-apocalyptic story. Though it is about an illness the message remains true, and that is when there seems to be no light hold on to hope. It is about never giving up when it appears there is nothing left to fight for. It is about not taking anything for granted from the simplicity of tasks, to the little noises, all the way up to the people we cherish, and that sometimes the strangers we meet along the way, even if we don't see it, are the ones that give us that strength. This story follows the main character Holly, who has her whole life planned out. First, to go to college, and then to marry the love of her life, Tony, when the world she knows turns upside down. As the virus spread, the death toll rose, and chaos sprung all over the globe. Forced to flee their home, Holly and her family took to the road in search of safety. One night as the Deranged charged their camp Holly was separated from Tony and her family. In her search for the love of her life and her family, she stumbles upon a small community. By the light of a flickering candle, from a typewriter, Holly tells us about the illness and her new life. She shares her new philosophies on life, all that we take for granted, and human vulnerability as she reminisces the past, and her dreams of one day being reunited with the love of her life and her family.
