Astronaut Aldyn Mackie is on his
return trip home after serving his stint on a small space station.
During that time he and NASA have been following a nebula through
space that’s on track to bypass Earth…or it was. Now it’s heading
straight for the planet. Set to re-enter the atmosphere in the
next hour, NASA gives Aldyn the go ahead, informing him that he
should be safe as the nebula will be gone by the time he lands.
After all, it’s just a cloud of ions, gases, and dust, right? What
could go wrong?
When Aldyn lands it doesn’t take long to realize
that something DID happen when the cloud enveloped the Earth. Something
bad. The world has been wiped clean of every living thing.
Gone,
as if they’d just disappeared. And he soon discovers it’s terrifying being
the last man alive.
Trying to plan for a future is nearly
impossible with no other humans, no animals for food or companionship, no
birds or plants, or even insects. Aldyn knows he will die eventually, if
he doesn’t go mad first. But when he catches a few glimpses of a woman in
reflections, he begins to question his sanity. Is she real? If she is, who
is she, and what is she doing here? He is desperate for human interaction,
but if she doesn’t actually exist, his reality, and what’s left of his
life, will be miserable at best.
Warning! Contains Chinese food, absolute silence, explosions, the good stuff, desperation, poisoning, desolation, and one man doubting his sanity when presented with a future of love.
