In the end is my first full length novel I have written, I am currently searching for a publisher and more information will be added later.
Synopsis

The story follows the journey of a man, his family, and their loyal dog as they struggle to survive in an on-going apocalyptic event filled with danger and despair. Along the way, they encounter other survivors, each with their own unique story of struggle and survival.
But there's a twist to this gripping tale - the main character is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder and is actually vividly dreaming up a new reality. His brain actively simulating survival and loss of his family. The story follows his dream of the virus outbreak, which becomes increasingly surreal as events unfold, the reader is drawn deeper into the man's psyche, experiencing the full weight of his trauma and pain only though small subtle hints.

This adds a unique layer of complexity to the story, elevating it beyond a mere tale of survival to a profound exploration of the human psyche in the face of trauma and loss and allows the reader to go back to read again for a completely new view of the events. "In the End" is a powerful and deeply moving story that will stay with readers
long after they turn the final page. With relatable characters and powerful message, it is a book that deserves to be read and celebrated by readers worldwide.
