Aftermath: A World Without Hope
Winston Sawyer was a mechanic; he was also a bow hunter, fisherman, and farmer. That was before the EMP over a year ago. Now he’s a full-time farmer, hunter, and fisherman.
Married, Winston lives on a ten-acre plot of high ground in the Everglades near the small community of Hartley. He lives in his two-bedroom shack with his wife and two children and owns a shed and a smoker grill, a push plow and an old tractor that runs like a top. He grows all the crops he needs, and his wife cans the rest.
Desperate men from the cities eventually travel to outlying towns looking to take anything they can. Winston doesn’t understand that.
Winston is mostly Seminole Indian and can trap game and set up trotlines for catfish and small gator. As a bow hunter, he moves silently through the forest and bulrushes hunting deer and hog only seldom using any of the many firearms he owns. By today’s standards, he is a wealthy man.
Until the day he came home from a three-day journey to find his wife and daughter missing. He sets out to bring them home, and with him, he takes his son, and Rustler, a three-year-old Rottweiler whose favorite bone is inside your leg.

One of the better dystopian short stories out there. Looking forward to part 2. Highly recommend.

Winston and Family
This short story has the making of a great 👍 series. When the world is suddenly turned on its heels, situations, people, and events can change quickly and in a hurry. Winston, Mary, Joseph, and Darby are a small family trying to survive in the new world 🌎. When bad things happen to good people, the response can be amazing. What happens next, wait and see.

Incomplete story
When you get to the end, the author says he doesn’t know if he’s going to make this a series or not. Also, many typos and very poor grammar. There is the bare-bones of a good story. Unfortunately, every story needs an ending or at least the hope of another book. Sigh!

Good read
I enjoyed the characters and the storyline and would like for it to be continued. The only thing I disliked was that it was so short. I would recommend it
