The end has already come. This is what followed. Within just two years, more than five billion people disappeared, leaving no trace. For those left behind, it was a matter of survival. Some opted out, unable to find a place for themselves in this new world. Others struggled on, trying their best to reclaim the lives they once had. And some people thrived. This is a collection of their stories. The survivers, the deserted. Those still clinging to hope, and those who have abandoned it.
