Remainer: Ash Between Us: The Exodus Protocol, Book 3 (Unabridged‪)‬

They were the ones left behind.


When the world ended, it didn’t come with fire or flood—it came with silence. The rich, the powerful, the useful—they vanished overnight, leaving behind the rest. Johnny, Beth, and a handful of others are the remainder. Not chosen. Not remembered. Just… still here.


In the hollow carcass of civilization, they drift through the ruins of purpose, haunted by questions with no answers. Was it merit? Money? A mistake? Or were they simply never meant to matter?


As food dwindles and hope thins, the group must decide whether to keep waiting in the ash of what was—or walk into the unknown, carrying only their doubt, their scars, and the stubborn flicker of something like defiance.


Remainer: Ash Between Us is a bleak and unflinching meditation on abandonment, survival, and the quiet violence of being deemed unnecessary.
