    About this ebook

    The movements of life and the pauses in between are revealed in this short narrative. From the perspective of a single man,neither hero nor villain; he is like us. His story doesn't begin here and even with his last words his story continues beyond the words THE END. But this short blurb is enough for now. In this post-apocalyptic short are the revelations, not of humanity, but of a simple man.

    K.E. Rodgers

    K.E. Rodgers is a Florida native. To escape from real life obligations she loves to create unusual stories set in her beloved state. Most of her ideas come to her while in the car with the music turned up very loud. Writing is a new and enjoyable outlet that she hopes to continue for a very long time. Ms. Rodgers likes to hear from her fans. If you live in Florida or are planning a visit to St. Augustine you might see her. She'll be the one in dark sunglasses...like everyone else.
