A paraplegic awakens to discover he is the sole survivor of an unspecified catastrophe. Determined to survive, he embarks on a year-long journey across the desolate motorways of England, searching for any signs of life. Armed with only his wheelchair and a week's worth of food and medical supplies, he must adapt and scavenge to prolong his existence.
Through a series of daily poems, he delves into his own identity, questioning whether being disabled means lacking a comparison to others and what it truly means to desire progress. As he traverses the barren landscape, he encounters remnants of society, both human and non-human, raising profound questions about the nature of survival and the human condition.
The story is a haunting portrayal of isolation and resilience, exploring the depths of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the power of determination and the human capacity for adaptation, even in the most dire circumstances.
