Baby Genius

David Sawyer, a normal office worker woke up suddenly to an unfamiliar world. The Apocalypse was here, and with it, a shocking realization of truth hidden just under his nose all this time. Fighting with the weight of betrayal, Dave casts aside his feelings to protect the lives of those he loves. Will his newfound apathy lead the way to survival and regrowth? Can a mask hide away the pain of love lost? DISCLAIMER: This is NOT an apocalypse story. The story explores adaptation and survival under rapidly changing world conditions. MC is not some chosen one or freek genius, he's lucky and intelligent, not a fool. Romance is a little heavy but not the main theme. Survival, human duality, conflict, and the very nature of the world itself are the book's focus. Every character has depth, and nothing is truly meaningless. Pay attention and see if you can pick up that deeply hidden foreshadowing.
