"I hate you" I said finally. "Care to explain why". He replied cocking his head to the side , amused. "Yeah, you're arrogant and nasty and you hurt people's feelings on purpose, not because its entertaining to you . But because you know that if you dont bite off as many heads as there are people trying to get to know you, one of them will somehow figure you out. And that scares you" I rattled off , suddenly very irritated at his smile. Like it mocked me . "Is that all?" he chortled . "No, actually you also have this habit of pointing out flaws in me that I've been trying for years to avoid and have been doing so , successfully might I add . Thanks to social etiquette. And you just bring them up ,completely uncaring of how rude that makes you look to other people and how embarrassed it makes me" I huff out annoyed .

Enter a world of desolation and chaos, where the very land beneath your feet is at war. In this new reality, continents shift and the climate changes without warning. Our story begins in the ruins of what was once Darwin, now controlled by barbaric factions ruled by a single 'Prophet.' Amidst this bleak world, we meet our protagonist: a Bacca, a soldier for hire who fights when he's told to and drinks to forget. He may be a hero or an anti-hero, but that's for you to decide. Haunted by his past and the atrocities he's committed, our Bacca wanders the wasteland of old Australia in search of redemption. But as the Prophet's rule grows more tyrannical and the factions' battles intensify, he must choose a side in a conflict that threatens to consume everything and everyone he holds dear. Join us on a thrilling adventure through a world gone mad, where survival is never guaranteed and every decision could mean the difference between life and death.

Also, the image in the cover was taken by me and is of the real Road to Ghost Town. Language: I don't use any bad words in this story. Age appropriate: No adult-only content is included. I write this for everyone to enjoy!
