Desolation #3
Shoreline
Nothing ever changes.
A vacation from the final era of these human times, if only for the weekend. A trip to escape the one true fact of life: that it ends. The doors to the afterlife have been thrown open, and an invitation has been extended. What reason could be found to not embrace inevitability, to not run screaming into the gaping maw of a future that is finally assured?
Except work still needs him around. And the bills won't pay themselves. The car needs gas, and the fridge needs stocking. Tal can think of innumerable reasons to hang around, but they all boil down to the other side of life's true fact: it may end, but it keeps going until it does. The sand may try to bury him, and the ocean may try to hold him under, but he will struggle. He will swim. He will kick against the current and drag his body back to the shore.
Because tomorrow might have something new to offer.
And she might just have something to offer too.
Shoreline, by Giles A Anderson--a tale of life before the end arrives.
