A story about the Australian 2020 Megafires. Envisioned through a male character, the reader witnesses and understands the true fears that Australian's felt during this time; just how merciless these flames were; and the masculine pressures to appear brave and placid. On a more personal note, this short story is a reflection of climate anxiety, and how I fear for this summer, next summer, and the summers to come. As this is a nation-wide experience, I feel silly expressing distress when others had it worse. This is that story.

In the afternoon sunlight, the younger man's hazel irises brightened into a beautiful, golden honey-brown. Jasper was speechless for a few split seconds, until he managed to make his mind work out what to say next. "We're a team. That means no man gets left behind. I'll come back for you, I promise." ________________________ Killian-Grey has survived on his own for five months since the world was taken over by the dead. Desperation drives him to accidentally stealing somebody's food. A plea for help after being stabbed is answered by Jasper Adachi, an ex-military soldier determined to save the innocent and bring Killian back to the safety of his group. The two make an unlikely pair, but soon realize their survival may depend on one another more than they had initially thought. When the time comes, will Killian join Jasper's group, or wander out on his own once again? The dead are dangerous, but the living are cruel. If the two are to survive, they'll need to learn to get along and stick together. Will they work as a team, or become one of the dead?
