Sun Catcher
An orphaned teen, a sunny apocalypse, a gorgeous yet terrifying change; a journey of hope, faith, and love, to find a way to survive.
Join fiercely independent Beatrice, as she walks across the Wilds searching for answers, discovering the grim truth of fallen humanity, struggling against the devastating loneliness forced upon her by her new stunning Gold reality.
In a world of post-apocalyptic darkness, the Sun Catcher brings light for the future.
Faith
***
Three years ago, the Sun Wave was a social media joke.
We were told to expect minor inconveniences, a day without pay, a day off from school, a day without public transportation. We were told to celebrate the opportunity to relax away from the stress of the modern world.
That was the only truth they shared.
The Sun Wave melted away the modern world, instantly killing millions as anything electric turned to melt and ash, and we were left with only sunlight to guide us as the world underwent a cataclysmic plummet into the dark ages.
Now, I walk, experiencing post-apocalyptic trials I'd once considered fictional entertainment, fighting to keep my faith that my youth spent learning to 'be cautious, be prepared,' may be enough to keep me alive.
Hope
***
A year before the Sun Wave I was left with only the hope of a new beginning to keep me going.
My sunny optimism pushed me to my island home, to college, preparing for a future where I would feed the hungry, and cherish the wonders of the world.
That day in May, I saw a brief clip of the Sun Wave, swirling iridescent gold, flash-burning a city; I never expected to survive that, my only hope was for a quick death.
I survived, changed into a creature of apocalyptic horror, covered in the Gold that left behind death and destruction.
Now, I walk through the dark and dystopian Wilds, determined to find an answer to what I have become, and what might become of me.
Love
***
Seven years before the Sun Wave I lost the first love of my life, my father. A year before the Sun Wave, I lost my mother. I hadn’t understood love, despite my constantly growing pile of books and poems, until I’d lost the last of my family.
I lost the peaceful surety of knowing you are loved unconditionally.
I had never understood how deeply I loved the world, and my life, until I became a symbol of Judgment and Death, a Valkyrie waiting, an image of dread to all those that looked upon me.
I left my island and the few who in their faith tolerated my monstrous presence.
Now, I walk north, searching for answers, others like me, something more than a life catching the sun; a life worth loving.
