   another strand of covid has presented itself, its worse, attacking not only the respiratory system- but spreading to your heart, making your heart attack itself. when internet goes out, Mars loses contact with Alex- his boyfriend, rushing him into a panic with not much he can do about it considering almost all of his family has been infected. his mother is a teacher, and his step-father is a hospital janitor- both exposed quite a lot. when they both die and Mars has spent weeks trying to contact Alex, he decides to journey out, with his brother, Mason. to not only find Alex, but his father. during the trek he has to avoid roads, for the government has gone on a spree of killing anyone they see in an attempt to contain it, which makes the trek far longer, cutting through a massive forest.
