The Cost of Survival

SNOWBOUND by James Loscombe is a devastating short story about a man who survives a deadly pandemic, but everyone else around him has died. After being alone for so long, he begins to question his sanity, especially after he finds fresh footprints in the snow.

As he follows the tracks, his reflections on the outbreak reveal several dark moments in his past, as well as his decisions which continue to haunt him. Now he must choose whether or not to take a life.

I've read three Loscombe stories, and this one is my current favorite.

As always,
