Without cataclysm or catastrophe, the world ends in the span of a breath, and all life disappears.
The natural world that was once Earth is now a wasteland. Edward survives the destruction that has consumed cities, forests, animals and humans. Time itself would appear not to have passed in the presence of clocks, useless machines and deserted man-made structures.
As he drifts through ghost towns and flashbacks of his wife, Sarah, it becomes not about food and shelter, but about not giving in to hopelessness. When voices start breaking into his isolation, he realizes that he is not quite as lonely as he thinks he is, or that something much more disturbing has taken the place of humanity.
Ashkhar is a story of grief, faith, and the thin line between despair, madness, and keeping hope alive.
