Season One, Episode Twenty - “The Road Ahead”

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason five, Episode seven – “Convoy” ...It took a long three days for Brent and his small convoy to go the 150 miles to get to Fort Manning.The roads were bad. Abandoned vehicles blocked the highways. It was like this everywhere. Pathetic human chaos frozen in time. As the virus struck and panic overcame the populace, they took to the roads trying to get away. Or maybe to get somewhere else. People run from disaster. They run from fear. But they often don't realize that the place they are headed is no better than the place they started....Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypseYouTube -> https://www.youtube.com/@cyktrussellPatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.comRunRunLiveWebsite -> https://www.runrunlive.comPodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/runrunlive Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason five, Episode six – “Conceit” ...Dr. Shuck -> http://www.drshuck.com/scifiThe corpse by the door didn’t shock anyone. They were used to the dead. At this point, nine months into the apocalypse, even the most reclusive of them had seen dozens of corpses. It was a corpse world, inhabited by corpses. They, the living, were the strangers in this world. “It looks like he was trying to get out.” Chester, one of the boomers on the team observed. “Made it this far.” The old man added, stooping over the corpse which was face-down and reasonably well preserved in the dry, air-conditioned environment of the Defender HQ. ...Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypseYouTube -> https://www.youtube.com/@cyktrussellPatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.comRunRunLiveWebsite -> https://www.runrunlive.comPodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/runrunlive Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason five, Episode five – “Entrance” ...The Defender Bioceuticals building sat back from the road behind a large, well-manicured lawn like a nouveau-riche idiot’s version of corporate Versailles. The whole facility was surrounded by a large masonry wall topped with a robust combination of security fencing, tastefully screened by landscape plantings. The expansive lawn was carved into a faux Victorian formal garden. “There’s no way over that wall.” Zane observed. “Place is buttoned up like Fort Knox.” The old man agreed. “Seems like overkill for a pimple cream factory.” He was referring to Defender’s number one consumer product, a wonder treatment for adolescent acne. It wasn’t, however, a cream, NeoSpront was a daily regimen of pills that cost over two hundred dollars a month. ...Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypseYouTube -> https://www.youtube.com/@cyktrussellPatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.comRunRunLiveWebsite -> https://www.runrunlive.comPodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/runrunlive Hosted on Acast.

Chapter Sixteen – Burying the Past...Why hadn’t she stayed with Grace and Teri? She could have. Janet probably should have stayed and maintained human contact. Built a tribe or a new family. Found a way. But she didn’t. She couldn’t.The wounds were too raw. It felt too soon. Too soon to let new people in. This new world of chaos and dying had systematically torn away everyone she loved. She wasn’t sure she could take it anymore. She didn’t know if she was strong enough to take that chance. An emotional shell was calcifying around her psyche, and she felt like a scared and angry child hiding in a closet from a terrible and unforgiving monster. So, she shut the world out....Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypseYouTube -> https://www.youtube.com/@cyktrussellPatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.comRunRunLiveWebsite -> https://www.runrunlive.comPodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/runrunlive Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason five, Episode four – “Search for the Cure” ...The small, yellowish, bones were strung on a piece of fishing line. They dangled from the man’s clutched fingers. “Take another step and I end you man!” He threatened. The muscles of his neck stood out taut like cords and he seemed to vibrate with malignant energy. His eyes were narrowed with defiance. His fists clenched. He was like a cornered wild animal. The Corporal glared in response. It was a standoff. ...Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypseYouTube -> https://www.youtube.com/@cyktrussellPatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.comRunRunLiveWebsite -> https://www.runrunlive.comPodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/runrunlive Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason five, Episode 3 – “Barn Storm” …Janet sat off to one side scratching Bill the dog behind his ear and watching the leadership group assemble. She suppressed a smile, thinking to herself that in the new barn it felt like an odd ho-down or square dance might bust out. Bill’s hind leg twitched, and he leaned into her hand insistently with his big shaggy head, pushing closer. The barn was a statement, some might say a ‘testament’ to what Mag’s and crew were building. The distribution center, because of its original purpose, had rows of long metal buildings, administrative offices and an equipment maintenance garage, but it was not designed, nor was it ever intended, to support a farming community. So, they got together and built a barn. It was a place to keep their growing stock of animals and equipment. A new place. And a place that was, at the end of the day, a symbol. Evidence that they were working together to build something for the future. ...Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypseYouTube -> https://www.youtube.com/@cyktrussellPatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.comRunRunLiveWebsite -> https://www.runrunlive.comPodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/runrunlive Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason five, Episode two – “Alliance” …“The Plant” – was how locals referred to it. You didn’t need to specify which plant. It was the largest automobile production facility within 100 miles. The Plant employed over 1,500 union workers and pumped out 1,000 new trucks and SUVs a day at peak production. The whole complex covered over 2,100 acres, with 2 million square feet of manufacturing. 150 truckloads of materials a day fed the production lines. A continuous line of barges, full of raw materials, were pushed up the river to its intake docks. At a dedicated rail spur loaded trains with new vehicles waited to be distributed to happy bourgeoise across the country. The Plant was its own little city. An industrial metropolis driving the beating heart of the great American manufacturing machine. ...Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypseYouTube -> https://www.youtube.com/@cyktrussellPatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.comRunRunLiveWebsite -> https://www.runrunlive.comPodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/runrunlive Hosted on Acast.

After the ApocalypseA pandemic survival storySeason five, Episode one – “Oracles” ...Pure, animal terror gripped the Old Man as he struggled to climb. Every time he reached to grab, to pull himself up and away from the encroaching pursuer, his arms and legs would become tangled in torn shreds of clothing and dead flesh. He was trapped between the gibbering aberration of fetid death grasping from below and the decayed ornaments of human detritus crumbling in his hands above. ...Website -> http://www.oldmanapocalypse.com Buy me Coffee -> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cyktrussellSubscribe page on Acast -> https://plus.acast.com/s/after-the-apocalypsePodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/after-the-apocalypseFacebook group -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/oldmanapocalypsePatreon to support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/AftertheApocalypseKindle Vella Story -> https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B09LTRC8RHMerch Store -> https://www.teepublic.com/stores/after-the-apocalypse Twitter -> cyktrussell@twitter.comRunRunLiveWebsite -> https://www.runrunlive.comPodcast on Acast -> https://shows.acast.com/runrunlive Hosted on Acast.
