More post-apocalypse stories should make use of humanity’s inherent desire for community, and the fact that most people really just want to live in peace

Like, give me more quaint, quiet, neutral zones where fighting is forbidden. More 24/7 volunteer kitchens that exist to feed the throngs of hungry created by the end of the world. More libraries kept updated by librarians who want to help preserve what little they can from whatever books they managed to scavenge.

Contrary to popular belief, most people don’t subscribe to an “every man for himself” belief system. Humans are social animals, and we crave community over all

Zombie setting where the undead are drawn towards unhygienic scents, so survivors constantly bathe to avoid being eaten.

Zombies are docile when adorned with flowers.

Settlements overgrown with herbs and flora.

Barely any banditry; everyone is focused on farming and gathering.

Different human factions and towns named after flowers like Lilies, Orchids, Roses, etc.

Instead of immediately killing an infected survivor, they're given special funeral rites - the zombie is covered with flowers to keep them calm, and  allowed to walk out from the settlement to join the hordes.

The Last Ones Out - a novel dripping with surrealism, horror, liminal spaces, existentialism, nostalgiacore and more.

A book that dares to ask the deeper question: who are we when the world we grew up in no longer exists?

Backrooms meets Squid Game meets Vivarium meets I Saw The TV Glow.

Work in progress. Follow along for updates.
