That was also why our security was the best in the whole city. I only found out in my last life that, after the world was hit by the deadly heatwave, a lot of desperate people showed up. In the apocalypse, humanity meant little. Everyone answered only to themselves. But our community was the only one that never got attacked by any looters, all thanks to the top-notch security forces here. It stayed safe until the scientists finally managed to build weather bombs strong enough to fight off the deadly heat, and the heatwave finally ended. Everyone in our community survived.

Dan immediately fell silent. In the days that followed, I didn’t rush to kill them. After all, in an apocalypse where supplies were scarce and manpower even scarcer, labor was a valuable resource. I fitted both of them with electronic shackles and put them to work, clearing zombies around the villa complex, tending the vegetable garden, and doing laundry.

When they finally finished, they dragged me outside into the wasteland. The base had been transformed into a sprawling post-apocalyptic settlement. Burned-out vehicles served as shelters, barbed wire fences marked territories, flickering fires burned in metal barrels, and groups of “survivors”— all rich Club members dressed in ragged, sexy post-apocalyptic costumes— roamed the area like predators. The sky was artificially darkened with massive screens, making it feel like the real end of the world. I was thrown into the center of the main camp, landing on my hands and knees in the dirt.

He sighed dramatically. “Well, that was dramatic,” he said, licking his paw. “But I must say, for a kingdom on the brink of destruction, your people throw a surprisingly tasteful post-apocalypse picnic.” I chuckled, resting my head against the cool stone. “You didn’t help much, you know.” “Excuse me, I organized vegetable warfare. Broccolini is traumatized.”

But increasingly, entire regions operated beneath conditions of unprecedented continuity. The old emergencies no longer existed at the same scale. The future remained open. And many people were discovering that openness felt far more intimidating than crisis. Adrian sat reviewing one such report late one evening. The title alone made him smile despite himself. **POST-SCARCITY EXISTENTIAL DRIFT PATTERNS** He carried it directly to Malcolm. "You should read this." Malcolm accepted the tablet. A few minutes later, he looked up. "This isn't drift." "No?" Malcolm returned his attention to the report.

The weight of the radiation seemed to increase, making every breath a labored effort. Our conversation shifted from casual banter to whispered anxieties. We spoke of our hopes, however faint, for a better future, and of our fears—the fear of the dome collapsing, the fear of starvation, the fear of the creatures that lurked just beyond our reach. We spoke of the stories we’d read in the library, of a time before the radiation, a time of green fields and clear skies, a time when humanity wasn’t clinging to survival in the shadow of a shattered world. These stories, fragments of a lost past, were our only solace in the vast, desolate wasteland. They provided a spark of hope that kept us going.

He looked at the stack of books on my desk, his eyes lingering on a tattered spine I had tucked at the bottom. "Wait, is that THE STAND?" he asked, pointing to the thick paperback. I looked down, my eyes landing on the book he was referring to. It was a survival horror story. Something about an alien invasion and humans getting wiped out one by one. "Oh. Yes. I’ve read it three times, but I find comfort in the end of the world sometimes. It makes my own feel... manageable."
