A Different Alchemy: a quiet and introspective tale of the apocalypse

As the human population continues to decline, most people travel south to maintain a semblance of the life they know. Entire cities are abandoned. But following a senseless act of violence, one man travels north, toward forgotten lands. Is it possible for a loving husband and father, surrounded by reminders of mankind’s impending extinction, to reclaim what he lost? A DIFFERENT ALCHEMY is the tale of a man realizing that everyone has their own pain and their own way of dealing with it. It is the story of one man’s loss mirroring an entire society’s sorrow. It is also a lesson about the importance of forgiveness. Be warned, this is not a story for people who need action sequences or pretty endings. But if you love introspective, reflective stories or want a different take on the end of mankind, this is for you.
