An Empty Land of Plenty

By Mark McNamara

Given enough time and the right conditions life will always find a way, even in the interior of a comet as it makes its way through the interstellar void. 30,000 years ago this comet swept by a very different Earth than the one we know today, a planet where two types of humans struggled to survive against the environment and each other. The lethal virus that rained down from the sky proved to be the death knell for those who called themselves The People, but through a mother and her daughter they leave a legacy that will come to be the salvation of humanity when the comet returns. Rusty Weber, an awkward high school senior, doesn't know how or why he survived the Prionic Flu but sees the newly-depopulated Earth as a fresh start, a chance to do things his way. His journey takes an unexpected turn when he realizes that the girl he secretly loves has also survived, and he sets out to find her. Starting in the ancient past and jumping to the present, An Empty Land of Plenty is full of road trip action and adventure as the remnants of humanity come together to determine what sort of future lies ahead for the fortunate few who survived.
