Synopsis

Personification explores what we hold on to when everything begins to slip away. Where will your mind wander when you know the end is near?

After losing its place in orbit, Earth is drifting toward a nameless planet. The collision is to occur this Tuesday at 9:37 a.m. There are three days left before the unescapable end of all life. Days that reveal the small, idiosyncratic details of existence as humanity grapples with its own harrowed mortality.

Angie honors Earth's final moments through the lens of a camera. Walter, frozen through existential crisis, racks his mind at home. To shield their sons from fear, Julie and Steve take them on a sailing trip. Doug races through the desert to reunite with his lover, while Jack, a murderer recently freed from prison, just needs to say he's sorry. Meanwhile, Max, an opulent business tycoon, questions whether his life's achievements ever truly mattered. And Savior, a blind homeless man, confuses his passing conversations to be a linear conversation with God, and without knowing how to do it, tries to appease his final task.

As these stories unfold, scientists Paul and Sarah are the last hope, the only ones still trying to save the day-unlocking something entirely unexpected. This story does not end well.

About this title

About the Author

Adam Nobody was brutally beaten by a group of Police officers during the G20 conference in Toronto in 2010. He was subsequently charged with assaulting a police officer. It was later revealed that the badge number on his arrest record was manufactured, and that not only did the assault he was arrested for never happen, but the officer that arrested him somehow didn't exist. His charges were completely dismissed as a clear case of a cover-up. Years later, with the help of his legal team, local press and YouTube footage, a single police officer was convicted for assault with a weapon against Adam. Whilst still a convicted felon of a violent crime, that officer remains a well paid and heavily armed member of the Toronto police service to this day. Adam has since moved to the woods with his beautiful wife, his angelic daughter and their pack of wild dogs. He's considering getting a donkey.
