Setting Near‑future North America, decades after a catastrophic solar event rendered much of the outdoors lethal due to intense radiation and atmospheric instability. Humanity survives in scattered enclaves inside shielded habitats and underground bunkers. The story takes place mostly within and just beyond the confines of a battered solar‑shielded RV and the ruined suburban landscape it traverses. The is a eulogy for the human race,

The story is set ten years after a cataclysmic solar flare has destroyed the ozone layer, turning Earth into a desolate, ultraviolet-soaked wasteland. Temperatures routinely soar to lethal levels, and the atmosphere is plagued by "super-storms."
