skyscrapers, bands of bloodthirsty maniacs, and a dwindling cache of survival supplies After watching his family, friends, and most of the non sadistic elements of society crumble around him, Patrick decides it s time to cross one last item off his bucket list He s going to Disney World This hilarious, heartfelt, gut wrenching odyssey through post apocalyptic America is a pilgrimage peppered with peril, as fellow survivors Patrick and Ben encounter a slew of odd characters, from zombie politicians and deranged survivalists to a milky eyed oracle who doesn t have a lot of good news Plus, it
