This is a brief look into the lives of a family who are trying to survive an ecocatastrophe.
The story unfolds when one of the survivors stumbles upon a journal of an evacuated man and begins to read it.
I felt the book was well written. I was able to understand the characters, their motivations and the world of the story but... this story was simply too short for me.
It seemed that just as I made sense of the world, the tale was over. There was no real 'plot' or no resolution for the short story. It just stops.
Yet having said that, I feel that readers of flash-fiction, and post apocalyptic fiction may enjoy this story.
