Description
"First Response"
8 p.m.
Late again.
It takes everything in Blaire to focus on the deadlines in front of her and to not worry for her husband as she tries to help their daughter, Eden, do her homework. The news in the next room blasts yet another story of a wolf attack in the country, but it is interrupted by a telephone call.
Maybe it's David.
But what's that noise behind the voice on the line?
"Black Rain"
Three loud knocks and he's on his feet.
Two men. Soldiers? Their rations don’t get delivered for another nine days.
The black rain can kill someone with radiation sickness in minutes if they’re exposed long enough. Survivors hide sealed away inside their homes as part of the last order from the government before the radio silence.
Another round of knocks.
Parker's little girl stirs on their makeshift cot in front of the fireplace. With his semi-automatic rifle grasped in his hands, what is he willing to do to keep his daughter safe from the surprise visitors outside?
"Fractured Trust"
Weathered cracks branch out across the forgotten highway, and years of overgrowth spread through and fill the gaps. Their car drives closer to the man up ahead of them as he waves his hands in the air.
James tries his best to avoid a trek through the broken cities littered with gangs and militias ever since the fallout. His three daughters became the only thing he can trust.
The two youngest want to help this stranger. Is he willing to put his daughter's lives in danger just for a morality lesson?
"The Last Visit"
The telephone rang.
Conversation between Sarah and Markus already felt tense, but it fell awkward and silent in the blink of an eye. His threats of divorce and kicking her out of their house all over a social status was just the start of her hatred towards the man she used to love.
There's only one way to get the revenge she desires, but how far is she willing to go?
