Mr. Overby Is Falling — Nathan Tyree

As the world spirals out of control around him, he is losing his mind. He has grown obsessed with the mounting tensions that predominate the news. Like so many of us, he lives in constant fear. Fear of nuclear annihilation. Fear of bio-chemical warfare. Fear of terrorism. Fear of crime. Fear of the violent predators our society produces. But mostly he lives in fear of himself. Then he meets Walter. Walter is a giant of a man. Walter has never known fear. Others fear Walter. Together Overby and Walter decide to become the most terrible force the world has ever known. This is a story of madness and terror. It is a story of all of us living in the last days of civilization on the edge of the empire.
