“After the End: One Man’s Journey to Rebuild Humanity”
The film begins with a man named Ash, who lives in the middle of a forest. He is a biologist and, due to his research, has been living far away from the city in the wilderness. One day, during his research, he is bitten by a venomous snake in the forest. He panics immediately, and at that moment his phone falls to the ground. Now he cannot call anyone for help. He tries to extract the venom himself and even cuts his own hand, but it has no effect. Even when he goes home and tries to cut his hand again, it is too late. The venom has already started spreading through his body, and he begins experiencing strange hallucinations. He remains in this state for several days. One day, some scientists arrive to take him away. He is somewhat conscious. He is alive, but his body has no strength. He musters the courage to try to call out to them, but no sound comes out. The scientists, assuming he is not there, leave. The scene cuts to a few days later. The cut on his hand has expelled most of the venom, and the small amount that had reached his brain is now healing. He only experiences mild hallucinations. Upon regaining consciousness, he immediately decides to go to a city hospital. He cleans his car and sets off toward the city. However, he notices something strange: there are no cars on the roads. When he reaches the city, there is no activity. He does not see a single living person. All the buildings are empty. Seeing this, he panics. A pandemic has broken out here. This pandemic is so deadly that it wipes out the entire population in just a few days. Being a biologist, Ash understands that because he had been isolated from the population for several days, the disease could not infect him, and he survived. Now the entire population has been wiped out — there is no government, no authority, and no owner of anything. Ash immediately thinks of his parents. Driving home, he sees that his parents have been dead for several days, and their bodies are in a terrible state of decay. Yet, he gathers courage and digs a grave outside his house to bury them. After that, he surveys the entire city, but there are no other survivors. Thinking this through, he decides to travel to another city and plans to go to Las Vegas. Taking some essential supplies and a gun, he sets off. However, the bridge to Las Vegas is sealed. He becomes very angry and chooses a longer route instead. When he finally reaches Las Vegas, everyone there has also died. Malls, large hotels, casinos — all are empty. Exhausted, he goes into a hotel. He spends the night there, enjoying expensive things because now everything is free for him. He does not expect to meet anyone else, but the next night he encounters two people. They, too, have survived the disease. The girl tells a sorrowful story, saying she watched her family die over a video call and now has no hope left to live. The man also wants to die, as living in such a lonely world seems impossible for him. That night, they stay with Ash, but by morning, he senses danger in their intentions. The man has a gun and wants to make the deaths of all three of them easy. But Ash wants to live, so he gets up and leaves. Behind him, he hears gunshots — the two have committed suicide. This event breaks Ash even more. Now, he realizes that he is completely alone in the world. Driving at high speed, he returns home. On the way, a dog crosses in front of his car. The dog is also completely alone, just like Ash. He takes the dog with him, finding a new reason to live. Ash begins a new life. He starts reading survival books. There is no shortage of food or drink, and there is no need to earn money anymore. He works every day and roams the town, hoping to find another survivor, but each day he returns disappointed. One day, while standing by a window drinking tea with his dog, it suddenly starts barking. He realizes that there is someone nearby. Smoke rises from a distant house, suggesting the presence of a human. He immediately takes his car and heads toward the house. Fortunately, there is a girl there. She is scared upon seeing Ash, but he reassures her that he means no harm and that he is also alone, searching for other survivors. Hearing this, the girl allows him into her house. Her name is Emma. Through their conversation, it becomes clear that nearly a year has passed since the pandemic, and neither Ash nor Emma has seen any other survivors in all that time. They are very happy to have found another human, as being alone has been extremely difficult, and they were on the verge of depression.

The Future of Computing
In the ever-evolving world of technology, quantum computing stands as one of the most promising frontiers. Traditional computers, which rely on bits as the fundamental unit of data, are reaching the limits of their processing power. Quantum computers, on the other hand, leverage the principles of quantum mechanics to process information in ways that were once thought impossible. This article explores the fundamentals of quantum computing, its potential applications, and the challenges that must be overcome to unlock its full potential.
