People slowly got back to normal in the aftermath of the 2019 Pandemic. They started out caring more about others and the environment. However, soon people went back to their "ME" lives and forgot the pandemic's lessons. Then another one hit, then another and another, and the last one that was worse than all of the ones before. What happened next was unforeseen and unbelievable. Most people said, “what did you expect” while others said, “I figured something would happen,” while others still had no clue what was happening and refused to believe ‘have it your way life’ as we knew it could stop.

Excerpt
I jerked awake, wondering what woke me up. I slowly realized I felt a small hand touching my face.
“Noah,” I asked. “What’s the matter?”
“There’s a baby crying,” said my eleven-year-old son, Noah.
“Are Baby’s parents alive,” I asked softly?
Noah shook his head no and said, “No one’s nearby, and the baby smells and is hungry.”
“OK, go get dressed in warm clothes and boots. I’ll get everyone ready to go.”
I looked at the time and saw it was four in the morning. Some would be up, and some would need to get up. Noah turned as he got to the bedroom door, “We need to take Russell with us.”
“Micah,” I said as I nudged my sleeping husband. Noah has found another one.”
