We're Alive

About We're Alive

We're Alive is an award-winning audio drama that follows a group of Survivors in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles now ruled by the "Infected." It begins with “A Story of Survival” which spans from Chapters 1-48. Our survivors band together, fortify a safe haven known as the Tower, and discover that the Infected are far from the biggest threat they will have to face. The adventure continues with: “Lockdown” - A small group of inmates and prison guards are trapped in the T-block at Twin Towers Jail. They are forced to work together and find a way to escape while the rest of the world ends around them. “Goldrush” - Set 17 years after the main events of “A Story of Survival”, this is a recollection story that describes the efforts of the four Soldiers as they attempt a side mission to retrieve a suspected stash of gold bullion. "Scout's Honor" (on it's own feed!) - Adventure Scouts stranded on Catalina Island off the coast of California must use their wits and teamwork to survive during Outbreak. And “We’re Alive: Descendants," which follows the children of the Survivors as they navigate a dangerous new world. The story of survival continues; the fight is not over. 18 years after the Outbreak, the world is starting to re-organize and rebuild, but many different forms of humanity are still struggling to survive in the aftermath. Nicholas Tink grew up in the shadow of his father. Little does he know that deep in the places where infected dwell, another descendant lies waiting.

[…] Pulling around. Hang on. Watch out, the jetty. I see it. Anything? Nothing. We need to keep moving. In fact, he keeps swimming after the boat. Go. Keep looking. Full plane. I set a course to the mainland. Anything? I don't think he made it. Should we turn around? Go back? We can't. There's too many in the water. And so many left on the island. He knew what he was doing. For the good of the troop. As the island grew smaller in the distance, the three of us still on the deck of the Elysian, waiting, hoping, praying, Looking to the sky for some sign that our friend made it. But nothing came. Like a true captain. […]
