Taking Out the Dead
It's 2032, and it's been three years since The Big Sick. A viral epidemic that decimated the United States. The virus evolved. It takes over it's host, using it's victims like decomposing meat ships, creating more victims as it goes.
But pockets of humanity remain. Microcommunities remain in the otherwise vacant streets of the East Coast's major cities. One of those microcommunities, in the Asylum Hill neighborhood of Hartford, lives "The Mad Doctor" Carl Martin. A pirate radio DJ, broadcasting seemingly non-stop from the top floor of his apartment complex to the few hundred citizens of the city still left.
Besides being Hartford's last living DJ, Carl is also our story's narrator. Floating back and forth between navigating us through the world, and providing the world it's sound track.
