Ciaran is the last important thing left in Brendan's life. After the world has fallen apart, the cousins take care of one another in their new home: a vibrant, oceanside community of survivors. However, dreams of his past tempt Ciaran to leave this new happiness and Brendan is faced with a choice: travel with the only family he has left or stay in paradise with the woman he might love. Told in a series of short stories, the tale of Brendan and Ciaran was first available on the author's website, Achieving P'nosha.
