Darkness Volume three: The Gulf Glows Red

In Volume Three, the clock rewinds to the night the bombs fell. The story unfolds in Orange Beach, Alabama, where Josh McReynolds has finally carved out time for a long-overdue vacation. For Josh, who calls northeast Alabama home, the Gulf of Mexico has always been his sanctuary—the place where the roar of the waves drowns out the noise of work and life.

But peace doesn’t last long. Barely minutes into sitting on the balcony, soaking in the rhythm of the ocean, the world around him is ripped apart. Explosions light up the sky. Power dies. Chaos spreads like wildfire.

From that moment forward, Josh is thrust into a desperate fight for survival. What began as a week of rest quickly turns into a perilous journey north, away from the shattered coastline and towards the only place he knows to call home. With danger lurking at every step, the question remains: will Josh make it back, or has the world he left behind already ceased to exist?
