"Clara; clear, bright"


"This is not the way my third shift is suppose to go."


Travel along with Clara Price, a twenty-four year old mother on a journey in a post-apocalyptic world to find her five year old son after a virus ripples through the country; killing millions. Relying on hope that her son is alive with her parents, and Jasper; the only other person who was alive with her while others began to drop around them. 

With miles between mother and son, Clara and Jasper make the journey to her parents farm. Through the ruins of cars and bodies on the streets of their town, and the dangers of the cities they must get through, they will face others who survived the 'death wave', a plaque. Clara will fight against time, trust, and maybe even the dead to get to her child

Where It Lies

The ride is silent majority of the way. Jasper only sighing every few minutes to display his dissatisfaction with me and what I had done. Even though he didn't know the extent of it. The silence was the loudest thing there is. It allowed the other noises to become clear. The roaring of the engine, the wheels against the concrete highway. 


It was almost too much as we drove closer and closer to Lucas and my parents. With the things I've done surfacing in my head every few minutes, I would push them back out again with the little strength I did have left. Checking my phone now as I see it is seven o'clock. Knowing it has been twenty four hours since I've seen my son, and darkness would be approaching soon as the sun begins to set above the trees. 


I knew what I had done. It keep replaying in my head as I sit in the passenger seat looking from the abandon cars, to my hands in my lap, to the orange sun descending from the sky.
