A World We Never Knew. Chance - D. R. Long

A World We Never Knew

When the Vanishing came, the world fell silent. Roads emptied. Homes stood abandoned. Only a few were left behind. These are their stories.

CHANCE

Autumn and Nova know survival means more than scavenging food and water. It means clinging to each other, and to Rusty, their loyal golden retriever, and to the fragile hope that family can still exist in a broken world.

When they discover Chance, a boy who does not speak but sees more than anyone realizes, their fragile balance shifts. Together, they form a bond that feels like the only real thing left in an empty world. But the silence hides dangers worse than loneliness.

Whispers of an old man in the woods. A doctor who promises answers but delivers something far darker. And the creeping truth that whatever caused the Vanishing isn't finished.

Bleak, intimate, and unsettling, A World We Never Knew - Chance is the first novella in the AWWNK series. A haunting blend of survival, family, and horror in the shadow of the end.
