Not sure if this is the author's first short story, Amazon doesn't list anything else by him/her but if this is their debut, I hope they write more! This isn't just good enough to appear in a printed collection of various author end of the world survival short stories, it would be one of the better stories in there. This is a very quick read, it'll take you about ten maybe fifteen minutes to get through, and you'll be clicking next page all the way until you reach the end.  Even though it's a slow paced story, and is pretty simple, those very aspects make it work.  Basic plot, long into the aftermath of an undisclosed to the reader event that has left the world with only a small number of survivors and no real food sources, a man is walking. As he has been doing for quite some time just to survive because food is so scarce, you just have to keep going to scavenge enough to eat.  He had planned on just walking through this latest city and out the other side on his aimless journey, he had no purpose at all.  That is until someone starts firing bullets from a sniper's riffle at him.Will definitely check out future stories by this author as this was simply that good!
