Lyncoln Ryland always saw himself as an ordinary man with an ordinary job, working maintenance in an ordinary mall. The only thing about him that isn’t ordinary are his feelings for the man who’s renovating the mall, but any kind of relationship with such a sophisticated man is highly unlikely.<br><br>Adam James is the wealthy man who owns the mall. He’s secretly been yearning for Lyncoln, a man he doesn’t see as ordinary in the least. But Adam’s family has plans for him, and they don’t include a relationship with a blue-collar worker.<br><br>All this is about to change when the sirens go off, signaling the possible end of the world. When the two men realize this isn’t a drill, they take shelter in the mall that isn’t quite as ordinary as everyone believes. What will the outcome be when two such disparate men must survive the apocalypse together?

Surviving the Apocalypse

“What the actual fuck? Okay, Ryland. Get a grip.” He ran to the electrical closet, threw the switch that reset the fuses, and blew out a relieved breath when the muted lights of the mall at night came back on.


He walked out into the center of the mall just as the security gates gently touched the ground. He made sure they were locked up tight and the doors secured as well.


With that done, he made his way back into the movie house and took the stairs down to the basement. Before he could lift the hatch, something caught his attention from the corner of his eye. He turned his head and stared at the corner where all the shopping carts had been lying on their sides. He and Adam had planned to bring them back to Uncle Frankie’s but they hadn’t gotten around to it.
