On My Way

One Bad Day
A poignant post-apocalyptic journey of heartbreak, hope, and the power of one unexpected bond.

Henry’s world ended the day the airport burned. Now, with only a satchel, a plan, and one last promise to his wife, he walks hundreds of miles through the wreckage of civilization—armed with nothing but grit, wit, and the fading signal of a distant phone call.

He’s determined to get to San Diego. To her.

But the road is perilous. Cities are in ruins, trust is a luxury, and each step forward comes at a cost. Just when Henry thinks he’s seen the worst of humanity, he finds something unexpected: a girl—silent, vulnerable, and utterly alone.

He doesn’t want to take her. But he can’t walk away.

Together, they trek through a shattered America, forming a bond neither of them saw coming. In a world where everything is broken, one man’s promise may become their shared salvation.

For fans of Kyla Stone and Franklin Horton, One Bad Day is a beautifully written, emotionally charged survival tale that proves even in the darkest times, connection is what keeps us alive.
