Proto-Spora
Proto-Spora | Erika Lunder
After bodies are found in a shipping container in the Port of Los Angeles, an unknown, deadly disease begins to spread. Stephanie and her friends she's been visiting flee in the middle of the night, before anyone knows anything about this new contagion, how it reproduces or how many it will claim.
Worst timing ever! Steph thinks, packing for the apocalypse.
But we just got here! her son complains.
Drink your juice, she replies.
With one child in tow, Steph has no idea how she’ll reunite with her husband and toddler.

Alice loves being a San Francisco Bay Area TV anchor. The hair, the makeup, the team of people fawning over her. But her boss has gone too far, asking her to come to the studio while L.A. is in the middle of an emergency lockdown. She’s sure the Bay Area is not far behind.
While her wife Kelsey stocks their house with supplies and takes care of their daughter, Alice stumbles into remotely filming unhoused people dying in the streets. There, young people brave enough to help others despite the surging death toll bring Alice’s viewers a glimpse of hope in the face of a global disaster.
-----
Alternating points of view, Alice and Stephanie fight to survive and stay sane against a backdrop of population collapse, failing utilities, increased wildfire activity and mounting social chaos. In the face of the worst pandemic since the Black Plague, you’ll root for Alice and Stephanie as they walk the slender line towards surviving the PROTO-SPORA.
