Days Since...: Tyler: Day 378
A virus… Chaos… Devastation…
Once the Almawt virus hit, human populations were decimated—very few were immune to its touch. Modern societies collapsed and survivors scrambled to sort through the violence and disorder.
Tyler was abandoned during the outbreak—left by his brother who fled the city like so many others. And although his brother made a case for bringing him along, that bridge had already been burned—Tyler’s mental illness deemed too much of a liability by his brother’s wife.
A little over a year later, Tyler finds himself living under a highway overpass, unmedicated and drowning in delusions, believing he is the last, healthy survivor. The voice in his head has convinced him the last remnants of the U.S. Government are out to get him.
As Tyler continues to elude them, they go for the next best thing, his most prized possession. Tyler decides it’s a step too far and takes the fight to their front door.
Days Since… Tyler: Day 378 is a post-apocalyptic short story of the Almawt Virus Series and contains a FREE preview of Days Since… Thomas: Day 758, book one in the series.

About the author
Robert Wilson
6 books27 followersI know you're supposed to do third person here, but that seems rather impersonal.
I enjoy post-apocalyptic and dystopian books and have since I was probably 12 years old. My English teacher read us a story called “The Girl Who Owned a City” by OT Nelson. The idea of a virus wiping out all the adults, well everyone above the age of 13 (if I'm remembering correctly), was extremely intriguing.
At the time, I was spending a good majority of my younger days exploring the woods that wound their way through my neighborhood. (I wouldn’t be surprised if some of my forts were still nailed up in a few trees somewhere back there.) Building something from nothing has always had a place in my heart, and I’ve always kind of found that tucked into most books in the post-apocalyptic genre.
I love my country--the good and the bad. All things come with both sides. I served 14 years in the Air National Guard and deployed to Iraq in 2010. I work full-time as a police officer for the City of Cincinnati. I believe in service before self. I believe in helping those who don’t have the means to help themselves.
A little about my work:
I published my first work in 2017 - a crime/suspense novella. Definitely out of genre, but I had a story that needed writing. Once I got that out of my system, I buckled down and got to work on a... Children's book? Yeah, I know. Something else I needed to get out of my system, right? But seriously, now, I'm focused on post-apocalyptic books oftentimes teetering on dystopian.
My first series is the Almawt Virus Series. The novels are titled Days Since... and each book follows a different character. The overall plot of the series continues forward through each installment, but through different vantage points.
In the Almawt Virus Series, a virus destroys life as we know it. Who's going to bring society back together? Post-apocalyptic life can seem impossible, but humans will persevere despite setbacks. Not all will live. Those in power will choose. It's a battle between the good and evil of the characters. Who's good? That's for you to decide.

A virus devastated the world and humanity lies in ruin.
Tyler was abandoned during the outbreak - his mental illness deemed a liability by his only surviving relatives.
A year later, Tyler lives under a highway overpass, unmedicated and drowning in delusions. He’s convinced he’s the last healthy survivor. Everyone else? The remnants of the U.S. Government out to get him.
All he wants is to be left alone, but their attempts to capture him grow by the day.
He’s fed up.
It’s time to fight back.
But if it's all a delusion, who sits in his crosshairs?
This was a really good short read.
Enjoyed the dialogue that was done and it was done vividly.
Great world building in this for the apocolyptic time.
Great characters and really enjoying the series so far.
Can't wait for more to come.
Recommend reading.
I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.

A rather disturbing short story by Robert Wilson. I hope the rest of the series is a little less sad! Something for all who love end of the world scenarios, without the happily ever after!

This book was very short and confusing. I did not find myself really caring at all about the main character. There was very little about what actually happened to cause the world to fall apart.
I received this free and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Another end of the world short story discovering the complexity of the main character, Tyler. Parts of the story were confusing but it got much more intriguing at the end. Quick read.

Not brilliant, main character seems to be losing his Touch with reality, so everything its kind of weird, the two chapters of Next book seems like its a good One

Despite knowing it wouldn't happen, I really wanted a happier ending for Tyler. *sigh* I mean, he is all about the cat and that is just my kind of people...crazy is also my kind of people, so he had it all.
