I loved the creativity of this story. It didn’t focus on the traditional version of an apocalypse. This jump forward in time and lingering dread on the past made the story easy to get lost in. I particularly enjoyed when the author talked about things like “7 days later she would die of the flu” letting the audience know how unexpected it was. It also gave humanity weight, but didn’t feel like a heavy read.
