When We Were Gone

An Apocalyptic Dystopian Thriller

When a touch can kill, there’s no one to hold.

Adam wakes in a barn, chained to the wall, with no memory of how he got there. The last memory he has is returning to his estranged wife with technology that will protect his son from the killer nanotechnology sweeping the country, passed from person to person through touch. Now, he has no idea where they are, or if they are alive.

During a heatwave, having given up hope of surviving, Adam is visited by a dog who presents him with a tin of dog food. Having shared the food, and after welcoming a storm of rainwater, Adam is intent on doing whatever it takes to find a way out of the barn.

In a post-apocalyptic world where no one can touch another person without the risk of killing them and themselves, Adam must discover a way to survive and find his wife and son.

If only he could remember the last time he saw them…
