Synopsis

"I didn't realize how much I would miss grocery shopping until it was gone."

Life was pretty good. The love of Alice's life had proposed, they were proud new homeowners, and she'd just landed a great promotion at work. Things were going to plan.

Billions dead in a matter of weeks. The survivors are few and far between. No one is safe. Life will never be the same again.
