A Sunday Stroll Through Hell
The year is 2036. Six months ago, the world as we knew it came to a sudden and violent end. Starting with an American invasion of Canada, the third world war would be beginning. After four years of stalemates on all fronts and the threat of internal collapse China would unleash the most powerful weapon in its arsenal; an orbital kinetic weapon system known as the Earthbreaker. The United States would return with its nuclear arsenal, followed by the other great powers.
Dmitri is a survivor of the Last War. He fled his home in Yekaterinburg before it was wiped from the map. He however in his flight became separated from his fiancé, Anna. The hope of one day being reunited with his love keeps him motivated to make it another day. Having essentially turned to banditry in order to meet his needs, this hope of love allows him to cope with the realities of his circumstances. The audience will witness the culmination of Dmitri’s efforts to survive in the Ural Habitable Zone. Will karma finally catch up with Dmitri, or will he continue to survive long enough to be reunited with the woman he loves.

Zachary Lekic is a Canadian amateur writer from Lethbridge Alberta. History, and Geopolitics are long standing interests of his, and as a result have a large impact on any of his works. One genre that sticks out to Zachary Lekic is Eastern European dark post-apocalyptic fiction and stands as the direct inspiration for A Sunday Stroll Through Hell. In his first production as director, Zachary Lekic strives to create a personal love letter to the genre that has been so important to him for much of his life starting with Dmitry Glukhovsky’s Metro 2033 and the games based upon this series from 4A Studios, Deep Silver and Viacheslav Aritsov.
