The apocalypse started with an asteroid that the government shot down with rockets, but the Rockets accidentally rained back down there chemical compounds which caused bugs and animals to mutate and start wiping out humanity and bringing on the apocalypse, Joel’s parents were killed by a giant cockroach at the start, it crushed the car with them inside right in front of Joel. That happened seven years ago. Most the population was gone and what did survive hid inside of bunkers. Jeol is from Fairfield California. Joel is a tall and slender young man.
