Odds of Survival

By Christopher Bailey

When the world ends, survival becomes a calculation.

It was meant to be just another painful day in the office.

Then they fell from the sky.

As civilisation collapses and the city turns hostile, one man is forced to flee on foot, chasing a single goal through chaos and fear: getting back to the people he loves. The only way forward is out of the city, and into the hills.

His one advantage is Jax: his assistant, his guide, his ever-present AI. Calm. Precise. Unfailingly logical. In a world unravelling at speed, Jax may be the difference between life and death.

Set in Aotearoa New Zealand, Odds of Survival is a tense, character-driven sci-fi horror that blends relentless pursuit, dark humour, and creeping existential dread. It is a story about loyalty, autonomy, and what it means to survive when everything we once knew, was lost, and all that remains, is now.

Black Mirror meets The Road in a dark, fast-moving tale of endurance at the end of the world.
