Isaac Caulder was twelve when the sky burned red and the world ended. The cities vanished in light, leaving him stranded on a quiet farm that refused to die. Among broken machines and scorched soil, he learned to survive, but at night, when the aurora pulsed like a heartbeat, he knew something in the ruins was still alive.

By the fifth day, the cities were dead, but the land refused to die with them. Farmers dug in, guarding what little the earth still gave. The soil turned bitter, the sky burned red, and survival became a quiet war fought field by field.

On the fourth day, mercy died. Cities burned under the weight of human desperation. Gangs ruled, families bartered hope, and the strong preyed on the weak. What began as survival became domination, and the line between man and monster disappeared.

By the third sunrise, the world had gone still. Rivers turned to ash, the air burned the lungs, and the last threads of humanity began to fray. In the quiet ruin, survivors clung to each other by instinct, not trust. When night came, mercy vanished, and the age of survival began.
