From an underground bunker a hooded figure lights a candle in the darkness and broadcasts warnings of the inevitable anarchy destined for humanity. His bio-mechanical upgrades have left his body alive but his memory fragmented and his hope fading. He reaches for one of few remaining personal possessions and re-tells the story of his wife, one of the many who have fallen to the widespread plagues and fallout sickness.

James O'Brien from RantMedia and award winning animator David T. Krupicz bring you an animated short based on 'Afternow Episode II: Little Rocks' written by Sean Kennedy.
