What does it take to survive? Will? Longing? Fate? When the world is full of air you can’t breathe, how does one live? What does one live for? Unfortunately, nine year old Astrid finds herself provoked into thinking of these things. Take a small step into her world where dark clouds bring about acid rain that sears the flesh, wide open spaces offer no shield from the elements, and low air in a tank means certain death. Will Astrid find what she needs to live? Will she survive with little recourse? Or will she perish like so many others?
