This short story is offered for free on Fictionpress.

Blurb: A plague is destroying humanity and in the aftermath, two desperate men try to survive.

After reading this story, I promptly went and looked up the definition for "autophobia." I found that it could mean both a fear of isolation, and a fear of self. Which is kind of cool and relevant in this case, however you want to apply it.

Bittersweet, scary, and powerful. Full of bleakness and desperation and realism and creeping, shambling horror. I wish this was so much longer!

The ending is a *leetle* vague for my taste, but overall I am totally picking up what this story threw down.
