From a wasted world, a survivor recalls the events that led to the global fires
A sci-fi/literary novel chronicling the intrigue, scandal, lust and vengeance that preceded the apocalypse of 2032.
Excerpt
F
ifty years ago fire tore through the cities of the world – first one, then another, until the night sky glowed ghastly and the day came half-dead across a scorched globe. All that Civilization had wrought in the span of eons was consumed in a day and the quarter of us who survived, hidden away from the cities in the wide world where the fire did not come, resumed our lives desperately, man against man, with fiendish urgency, scratching at the parched earth to purchase another day.
Today there are children and parents and grandparents who never knew the world before the fires. Among the people of the world today I am a curiosity, a relic, a mythical being whose mind contains the last real impressions of a world undreamed by the new rank of men.
It’s another morning and I’m awake.
