Dead Drops
About
A Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Anthology Set in the Rotwind Universe
What if survival depended on strangers you’d never meet?
What if the smallest act of courage changed the future of the wasteland?
Before Morgan Reed’s mission…
Before the rebellion…
Before the conspiracy was exposed…
There were the people who kept humanity alive, one impossible choice at a time.
DEAD DROPS is a collection of three interconnected stories set in the early days of the Rotwind collapse, where couriers, pilots, and silent rebels hold the fragile threads of civilization together.
No heroes.
No guarantees.
Just ordinary people facing extraordinary ruin.
The Last Run
Jenkins, a legendary courier, prepares for one final delivery, a dangerous 300-mile run carrying medical supplies and letters from home. With a pregnant wife begging him not to go and a storm rising over the mountains, he leads with duty, not fear.
But duty has a cost.
And on a crumbling mountain pass, Jenkins makes a sacrifice that will echo through the future of the Pit Stop itself.
The Sky Above the Rot
Pat Thorne, a fierce independent pilot, loses her aircraft to the New American Republic (NAR) until she decides to steal it back.
Her daring escape ends in disaster when she’s stranded over the Rotwind wastelands.
Her only lifeline?
A mysterious voice on the radio is guiding her toward a hidden stronghold known as the Pit Stop.
Her new future begins with a single, illegal flight… and a debt she can never repay.
The Gatekeeper
Lieutenant Silas Vance is the perfect NAR officer on paper, but in the shadows, he’s smuggling persecuted families out of his own city.
When a sick child is marked for “biological remediation,” Vance risks everything in a high-stakes escape that unfolds beneath the eyes of the ruthless Director Langford.
One mistake means execution.
One lie must be perfect.
But freedom, even for a moment, is worth the danger.
Each story reveals a hidden truth of the Rotwind world: Even when civilization falls, humanity doesn’t have to.
