SW 9.4

It's been 37 days since Erick remains in a basement after a nuclear holocaust, where he tries to tune in to shortwave frequencies with a radio. The day turns different when he seems to have caught something, but in an oversight he tosses the radio away. When he picks up the parts, everything indicates that the radio is intact, except for one crucial piece "the screw" that holds the antenna. Desperate to find the screw, his attempts are frustrated, as it ends up on the verge of falling down a drain; and with a poorly calculated move he could lose his hope of communicating with the outside world.
