When the bombs fell, they erased the face of the world. They expunged the mind of a civilization, and they forever changed our conceptual understanding of identity.

But there are some who still remember, and Browning is one of them. Still searching for his wife, he is drawn to the edge of the great barrier and the Silence Virus it was built to contain.

And standing there, the questions are simple: What remains, on the far side of those rusting iron gates?

Is she still inside?

A quiet tale of life after the apocalypse, "Life, On the Other Side" (3800 words) was originally published in the journal Weber: The Contemporary West. It was reprinted in the collection The Silver Coast and Other Stories.
