in about two weeks. by anonreader05

After a highly contagious disease caused the downfall of mankind as they know it, married couple Sophia and Tom were forced to leave their home and seek a way to survive in more than ever unforgiving conditions, scavenging for food, collecting rainwater, migrating to the south for the winter, and fending off both hostile survivors and dangerously aggressive Infected. Being nomads made for rather unpleasant interactions with settled communities and pushed them into complete isolation. Their relationship grew each day more bitter, binding them only through the sheer inability to let go of life, no matter how brutal or dreadful it got. Unexpected sudden encounters will make them question their past, feelings, and motivations, as they navigate the ruins of their sense of self and of their close-to-failing marriage. "[...] in any case, destiny, or whatever higher power acting upon them, had a splendid way of forcing self and mutual reflection for the umpteenth time in about two weeks."
