Check out real life news feed available for disaster stricken areas. When relief is sent and dropped on those areas, the fight for resources is no less than Hollywood.

This happens certainly. Movies are after all somewhat a representation of what happens in reality. I just meant the story also makes for a perfect sci fi action flick. My comment was more or less to pacify my scared self that hero and heroine would survive this apocalypse and have a happy ending. 😃

What's the human thing to do? Meet people? See if you can find a place to settle that's safe, provides food and water. Is that enough? Lets assume that there are some people who have grouped and are living in a community. Would you live there and take safety it offers ignoring the warlord sort of regime if exists? So many possibilities.

Its very hard to come by any material - except for The Stand by Stephen King as far as I have read, where we deal with immediate problem of a pandemic.

Tell me, what would you guys do? If you were in a situation such as these.

I guess the initial reflex is to fight back...to overcome any hurdles to merely survive, to escape the mess, the epidemic and the misery. To find a place where there won't be a constant fight for resources and life.

For a while, one can live like that...with the will to survive at the fore, driving you to fight anything and everything that comes your way.

But eventually, there will be a point where it becomes exhausting and depressing. Someday, one will want some kind of normalcy to settle into...

So, frankly... I don't know... What I'd do in a situation like this... It's really difficult to imagine... Wait it out, maybe? For a cure for the virus or some kind of vaccination perhaps. Try to hold on to my sanity for as long as possible...

Guess, it's easy to make a decision if there is a definitive end date and time!

Yeah. You have these: Doomsday preppers

Sanity - yes.

Wouldn't normalcy be redefined by that time?

15. Things of past

Religion, sacred texts and classics get introspected every few decades with newer generation viewing them in a context entirely new. This reinterpretation is important for making these old texts and testaments relatable to emerging changes in culture and social changes.

But how does one reinterpret sociology? How can one reconfigure new societal rules - rules that are now extinct and deemed obsolete?

"Do you think all the art in the world are lost forever?" Khushi asked out of nowhere.

"Our future generations will forever hate us if it's lost." Akash replied softly.

"Do we really have a future?" Payal looked defeated.

We still know about cities that were submerged under volcanic eruption, don't we?

Distortion however, is possibly the biggest outcome of lost civilizations. Suddenly that which exists no more takes on mythical qualities. Maybe Arnav and Khushi will be one of those heroes - of magical powers and fantastic abilities...

Many civilizations are lost in time without lot of traces left behind. Atlantis is a popular myth and people assume it did exist at one point of time. Their entire legacy is lost and now its just a debate.

nah, no fantastical elements in this one. I have burned my fingers with that already.
