Life isn’t fair. Mark knew this growing up, but, as he sat in the driver seat of his car dying, having been on the way to live his dream life… yeah, he felt it to be all the more true. Maybe the next life would be different… — Inspirations and themes: This story came from my deep desire to find comfort in the horror of the worlds in which I would read and play in games. I always found it deeply comforting when characters would try and provide some semblance of normalcy and comfort in a world of unimaginable horrors. I.e. the safe rooms in the video game “left 4 dead” or the ranch and house in “A quiet place.” Please do tell me your thoughts. Also please comment if I left any editing errors in or storyboarding. I will post chapters as I write them. Please have patience. Thank you and enjoy!
