Inexplicably, millions of people world-wide stop what they are doing and walk eastward, with the majority walking into the ocean and drowning. Those unable to withstand a long walk, die enroute. Survivors gather in groups, struggling to understand what has happened and attempting to forge a way forward through the devastation, grief and uncertainty.
Fallen Face is an apocalyptic story of survivors in New South Wales, Australia, who encounter religious beliefs, conspiracy theories and rumours of government experiments as well as individuals wishing to use the apocalypse to push their own leadership agenda.

Fallen Face – the idea
I have always loved disaster and apocalyptic movies and series, and there have been so many.
World War Z, The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, Planet of the Apes, The Omega Man, A Quiet Place, Bird Box, Armageddon, Deep Impact, V.
As a writer, I felt that it was absolutely necessary to write my own apocalyptic story and yet, how to kill off the population took years to consider. Do I create a virus that wipes out a great majority of the population, or a meteor that crashes into earth, or a spaceship full of aliens take over the world, or ants take over, or the earth heats up from climate change? The possibilities are endless, and yet, the writer would need an excellent knowledge of the science of climate change to successfully write a story on climate change. Ditto with a virus, the writer would need medical or scientific knowledge relating to viruses, unless you are Stephen King, and you can write convincingly on any topic.
Following podcasts and news on the freedom movement across the world and the conspiracy theories that cookers are passionate about, gave me the idea for Fallen Face. The conspiracy theories that the cookers subscribe to are so vast, so numerous and so outlandish that if the world suddenly ended, how would anyone know which theory had been correct? That is partly what drives this tale – no one really knows what happened. Was it divine intervention, a virus, 5G, chemtrails, microchip implants, vaccines, a global reset from the cabal or a government experiment?
Could something like this really happen?
