As Neal navigates his anger and grief stemming from the loss of his only friend, his family must pull together to gather enough supplies to survive the deathly cold winter as the volcanic ash storms intensify. However, when a family appears on their doorsteps and offers engineering and medical expertise in exchange for food and shelter, Neal and his family's isolationist stance is challenged as they face a reckoning on how they will adapt to life in this changed world.In this follow-up to "What Comes After," Neal's daily journal entries reveal his struggle to maintain hope and trust in others, as the world becomes bleaker and more desolate. With the government toppled, looters and bandits armed with weapons roam the landscape unchallenged, but rumors of sanctuaries keep hopes of rebuilding society high. Neal and his family must navigate the balance between the security of isolation and the possibility of trust. With no one left to save them, they must choose how they'll live with what remains here. ***No fandom knowledge needed. All characters, settings, and conflicts are original.***Posted on RoyalRoad…

KingEmpo

I'm an average guy. Average grades (for my area). (Less than) average looks. Average future. Well that all turned upside down when the zombie apocalypse hit, and now I'm a zombie-slaying superhero - in my dreams.But actually, the zombie apocalypse sucks. With the power gone out and the water cut off and my family being away, I've got no one to talk to except for you, diary. Even though the sun is shining and the birds are singing, the world only seems to get worse and worse, and I can only hope that I won't die from starvation or dehydration or being cannibalized by zombie (Is that even cannibalization, though?). I should probably stop rambling now and get back to work. Society needs to be rebuilt after all.***| #TheBookerAwards |…
