AFTERVILLE

by Fabio Guaglione e Fabio Resinaro

50 years ago, a number of unknown structures fell upon our world, changing the skyline of the
major cities of the planet. These starships, soon renamed as “The Rocks”, never showed any sign
of life and were soon integrated as part of the urban growth to accompany the world’s social and
economical development over the years. Years later, scientists would make an incredibile
discovery: the rocks seemed to originate a signal from their interior. According to our time criteria
this signal was codified as a countdown ponting at a specific day and time in the year 2058.
Today, we experience the last hours of that “Last Day” through the eyes of two lovers, Sam and
Lisa, desperately looking for each other again before the world that we know might end.
