Fading Speculative
The Purple Cloud
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA poison cloud kills nearly everyone on Earth, and the sole apparent survivor must decide what, if anything, is worth rebuilding entirely alone. Shiel wrote one of the earliest true accounts of the last man on Earth, equal parts grandeur and dread. Solitude, at this scale, turns out to be closer to a punishment than a freedom.
