anthology series that explores post-apocalyptic worlds in powerful 8 page short stories. These stories naturally lean toward darker, edgier tones, as they dive into inventive and wildly different post-apocalyptic settings. But what truly sets this project apart—and what excites us most—is the focus on character. At its core, Days of Desolation is about exploring humanity in inhumane times, and that emotional thread is what brings each world to life.
Earth had been brought to the brink, stripped of her resources, drained of life. We had hit a tipping point-her or us. But choosing one would seal both fates.
Then came the seed. A product of a team of scientists who believed salvation could be grown. Within it was a flicker of hope, a path forward-a chance for humanity to give back to the Earth that they had stolen so much from.
Once planted, the seed delved deep into the soil. It grew into a towering tree, Gaia, a living miracle. She stretched skyward like a wooden skyscraper, her limbs casting shade over entire cities. Her trunk is so vast, it would take hours to drive around. Life began to return. The Earth healed. And for decades, a new age blossomed.
But all good things end.
Gaia, now deeply connected to the Earth, came to a terrible realization: humanity was the threat. Her roots consumed cities. Her venomous flowers killed thousands. Her hunger could only be satisfied by the taste of human flesh.
Now, only one man stands between Gaia and the end of mankind—Kalder. A man who has lost everything. A man who shares a hidden bond with Gaia’s origin. Echoes of Eden follows Kalder’s final journey, as maker and creation meet one last time.
