    Summary

    The day after Akemi arrives in LA on a greyhound with a backpack half-full of a handle of her father's best whiskey, she wakes up on a beach, colder than she expected to be, to an ash-black sky and the red unblinking eye of the sun. There's a fire in the hills. She thinks she’s died for a second, and what scares her is the prospect that there is an after—that’s always what’s scared her, the is of things, not the possibility of isn’t.
