"Home, a place I needed to see with my own eyes because maybe then I would be reminded of why I wander."
A courier travels one final road home in a post-nuclear devastated America. 1500 words.
“It is our mission to traverse the perilous roads of the west if we are to revive the last hope humanity has left. We will construct a new civilization through the messages we deliver. The only way this will be possible is by walking the long 5 and all of the roads that lead to it. For people aren't always known by the words they speak or the deeds they do, sometimes it’s by the paths they walk.” – California Express Motto

Interrupted Journey
One simple rule: anyone trying to cross the bridge must die. A simple journey interrupted by the sudden failure of all electronics; stuck miles from the rest of the family; we struggled to even return home as society started to crumble around us. As it became clear that this more than a local problem and that no help was coming from outside, we retreated to the remote family farmhouse with relatives and trusted friends here we desperately tried to gather the food that we would need for the coming year. But as the world collapsed into starvation, anarchy and cannibalism, we began to understand the true price to be paid to ensure we were to be part of the five percent that might survive this apocalypse. That price might just be our own humanity.Complete
