The Earth Exhaled

De: Joseph D Nirmaier

They said a rapid pole shift couldn’t happen. They were wrong.

The Earth slipped—a shift barely more than a degree on paper, but enough to fracture fault lines, drown cities, and rip the jet stream into shreds. The skies burned with auroras. Rivers swelled and reversed course, turning tall hills into islands. Satellites went silent. And within days, society collapsed.

Nate Conner, an Army veteran who never quite fit in after his tour, heads to the woods—one step ahead of the chaos, guided by instinct and a gut feeling that this time, the warnings were real. Casey Wren wasn’t part of the plan. She has her reasons for running—and just enough grit, if not more, to match Nate’s. A chance encounter brings them together, and what begins as an uneasy partnership gradually deepens into something neither expected: unshakable trust.

Together, they face a world buckling under pressure from storms, tremors, and something darker watching from above. A fawn they rescue early on becomes a symbol of what they’re fighting to hold onto: decency, purpose, and the faint hope that not all is lost.

In a land reshaped by disaster, survival means more than staying alive. It means staying human.

A totally different, first person account on survival of an earth shattering event

Joseph Nirmaier authors a refreshing, not your run of the mill, apocalypse story. His descriptive writing puts you right by his side throughout the, never a dull moment story. it's amazing how he also weaves a love story into the mix without you even realizing it . I loved every minute of the story was only disappointed when it ended too soon. This authors three other published works are next on my list. Highly recommended.
