Six months have passed since the world's demise, and a young man resides in a shopping mall with his manager. Everyone else has departed, chasing a supposed salvation at the center.
While completing his routine, he encounters the first living person in a long time. This girl, who goes by the name of Romero, scavenges not for necessities or escape but for a movie. "Who cares about humanity in a world already ablaze? Let's just relax and watch a flick." This gripping debut from a promising author extols the virtues of movies in the apocalypse.
