Senior Survival

A national emergency was declared months ago when the electrical grid went down and stayed down. Times are hard and many die off from starvation and disease. We find ourselves now regaled and intrigued with an amusing story about how an old southern prepper met a beleaguered former Japanese restaurant owner under fearful circumstances in this apocalyptic world. The odd couple are forced to team up in order survive food shortages, old age, armed marauders, and life in general as they plot a course to bug out of their current situation.

Walt and Yoshi find themselves as down on their luck and stranded, bugged out preppers in the grid down apocalypse. Their mission in life now is to get to Florida and live out their days playing apocalyptic beach bums, or getting to Yoshi’s great aunts farm located more inland. Emergency broadcast messages on the radio of early winter approaching a mini ice age is cause for concerns and they begin second guessing their decision to bug out.

Walt and Yoshi travel away from aunties farmstead to find an isolated island paradise allegedly not far off shore. Yoshi jealously guards and carries the “Juice”, a big gourd shaped stainless steel jug of herbal tonic that has taken months to create and is the best cure available for many sicknesses in this grid down world without doctors or pharmacies. Will Walt’s botanical elixir offer a remedy or herbal cure for this ghost disease, or will it be an incurable slate wiper virus for the United States?
