Last Food

Fast food...and the apocalypse?  Are you hungry for the next stage of fiction?

Spanning at a 'whopper' of 911 pages, Last Food takes place in 22nd century America and focuses on a cryptic burger chain called Between Buns and its overhyped, 'holier than thou' food item called the 'Epic Mound'.  Countless folks, whether young or old, are obsessing over the latest coma-inducing treasure; unfortunately, the lofty hype has resulted in multiple incidents of robbery, vandalism of store property, trampling over customers, and widespread injury and death to others.

A group of terrorists, known as the Diarrhetics, claim responsibility to the majority of violent incidents in many Between Buns stores across the country.  They flock to the satellite HQ of the chain's parent company, known as Noble Hands, but are greeted with a fully-armed unit of mecha ready to shoot, slice, and detonate the 'power-starved' people.

After a mysterious shower of lasers from the sky coat the land with endless destruction, the story shifts to a foggy, dried husk of a world called 'The Pasture'.  A group of armored individuals, called Quenchers, sets out on their daily treks through the rancid, dangerous world in order to capture highly-skilled feral human abominations called Craved; the Quenchers then bring them back to their base, known as The Vacuole, lock them in their Cell Walls, and convert their 'bad cells' (Congenes) into 'good cells' (Progenes).

The Quenchers serve a mysterious organization known as Armeganon, whom trade the Progenes for necessary supplies needed to survive the harsh environment of The Pasture.  But for how long?  And at what cost?

Started back in late 2019, and formally written from late March of 2020 through to Valentine's Day 2021, Last Food is a satire which focuses on the fast-food industry; the story dissects America's obsession with greasy items, in addition to lambasting a corporation's need to thrive as a superpower in their own country (among other themes).  The target audience is 16-24, or as a friend of mine once suggested: 35 and under.  The novel contains lots of action, ultra-violence, profanity, nudity, sexual situations, and food.  References to food, people eating food, etc, etc!

This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to a particular name/character, whether living or dead, is purely coincidental.
