The Remedy Files: United

When the world ends, how do you start over? The woman only needed her family, hope, and the man she's been in love with since she was five years old.

When the man was five, he made a promise to protect the woman at all costs. He didn't expect that to be threatened by the Apocalypse.

Now at eighteen, they've witnessed the slow unraveling of their dreams as nature and men compete to wipe out humanity and annihilate the earth they once adored. The lands have shrunk, loved ones murdered, and every minute of life is a fight for survival.

The Before is marked as a time of abundance and love ruined by destruction and hate. The After is a period of order and numbness constructed by survivors.

What exactly needs to happen to turn the world so calloused that they banish feelings from their people?

It's not the world the woman and man set out to influence when they were young and innocent. But a lot changes when survival is at stake.

This 9,000-word novelette is the prequel to The Remedy Files Trilogy and includes the first 5 chapters of The Remedy Files: Illusion. It may be read before or after any book in the series.
