A sole survivor, apparently, of an unstoppable pandemic. He begins a journey west, hoping to find someone--anyone--who has also survived. The search proves fruitless, and Jack stops in the tiny hamlet of Luna, New Mexico, slipping into despondency, and then despair, on the brink of defeat.

I’m an essayist and novelist writing (mostly) realistic literary fiction and cultural criticism. I blog about issues of secular and religious culture in the West, and philosophy as it concerns religion, at albertnorton.com. I have also been an attorney for 30+ years and have closely followed developments in Constitutional law, especially in free speech and religious freedom, that show significant changes in our fundamental assumptions as a culture.
