CircoloBaruffa
In a world where milk disappeared first, then meat, and finally everything else, only artificial cheese remains.
Chad Spencer is a hunter, one of those who roam abandoned supermarkets searching for food that is still clean. Day after day, he drives west, collecting the same smelly, worthless cheeses, following a routine that has long lost its purpose.
Rejected by every collection center, surrounded by dust, ruined farms, and empty roads, Chad slowly realizes that no one needs what he carries anymore.
Yet he keeps going.
Because sometimes movement itself becomes the only reason to live.
A bleak, absurd, and existential short story about routine, false purpose, and the quiet madness of moving forward when nothing is left.
