Once upon a time, there was the world as we knew it. A world with pets and homes, grocery stores and hospitals, jobs and weekends. And then everything changed. The people died and then returned, neither living nor dead, the love they felt for anyone or anything erased from memory, replaced by a hunger that could never be satisfied. Everything we had counted on, our advances in technology, our feats of engineering, could not save us. Roads crumbled and cities fell into heaps of rubble. And for those of us born right before? The end of the world was our beginning.
