Up until this point, Wastelander has roamed the remnants of
the Twin Cities metropolitan area in his attempt to return to whatever is left
of his home. Meanwhile, “Burlap” has locked
himself away inside a garage to escape a pack of cannibals. Their incessant attempts to break in, along
with his gradual starvation, sleep deprivation, and the pervasive hypothermia,
has brought Burlap to the furthermost limits of his sanity.
Ashes of Man draws
to a violent conclusion as Wastelander and the trapped character “Burlap” at
last come into contact with one another in this depiction of nuclear
fallout.
