The Upside-down Garden Chapter 1
Waking up from the hardest hit to my head, I find myself laying on the ground with my nose in the dirt and feeling like a thrown sack of potatoes. Slowly finding the strength to raise my arms I climb up to a sitting position and rub away the dirt from my face before getting a better look at my surroundings, and man was I lost in all manner of speech and thought. The world around me that I had known and loved for all my life was gone, and in its place was an expansion of the weirdest of wildness that could ever have been concocted. The large plants that resembled trees standing around me jutted out of the ground in reverse palm tree style with leaves on the bottom with roots in the air that gave off a very sweet aroma that was reminiscent of fresh vanilla pudding.

ENDURANCE BEYOUND APOCALYPSE
Days 148-159 witnessed a complex unfolding of events following the overthrow of Billy and his crew. Amidst differing opinions on how to proceed, Ruslana, drawing on her past experiences, vehemently opposed a violent resolution. Instead, she ensured that Billy and his crew faced a makeshift prison for their crimes. The decision, tough but just, left a lingering doubt about the wisdom of confining Billy.

ENDURANCE BEYOUND APOCALYPSE
Days 51-69 Days 51-69 were marked by a significant shift in our strategy. The decision was made to journey south from Los Angeles, tracing the 5 Freeway all the way to San Diego. Despite my initial apprehension about the presence of crucial military installations in that region, witnessing a plane heading in the same direction lifted our spirits. The stark reality was that we were left with limited options as a substantial portion of LA County had been devastated by a nuclear strike, and the surrounding terrain was inhospitable. While heading north towards smaller communities was a conceivable alternative, we concluded that our best course of action was to reach a location the government would likely prioritize securing – and that meant San Diego.
