Hey! Thanks so much for checking the story out—and for leaving such a detailed comment, seriously. I can tell you’ve done your own research into post-apocalyptic settings. You're totally right that some things would stop working after a while, and I appreciate the callouts—especially the gasoline and solar panel points. I’ve got a few of those details in mind for later chapters (without spoiling anything, Gabe’s situation is not exactly sustainable), but this definitely gives me more to think about as I go. As for the point about the phone and the AI, there is no cell service and it's all run locally on the device. That said, the setting does take place only a few years after the major collapse—Gabe just calls it “ages” because of how the situation appears to him in his mind.
Thanks again for reading and nitpicking (in the best way). Hope you get a chance to check out the rest!
