For After

What if the most magical place on Earth became the deadliest? 

After the death of her husband, nurse practitioner Camila takes her twelve-year-old son Ethan to Walt Disney World—a surprise trip he planned before cancer took him. It's meant to be healing. A celebration. One last dose of magic.

But something is spreading. First a cough, then a tremor. Then rage. When the outbreak ignites on It's a Small World, the happiest place on Earth becomes ground zero for a nightmare. As guests turn violent and the park descends into chaos, Camila and Ethan flee into the hidden tunnels beneath Magic Kingdom, where a handful of survivors cling to hope—and each other. With blood-soaked rides and collapsing illusions behind them, they race toward EPCOT, searching for sanctuary in a world unraveling.‍ 

For After is a pulse-pounding novella about motherhood, memory, and the fragile places we go to feel safe. But not everyone will make it out of the magic alive.

About the Author

Hi, I'm Jason.

A Phoenix-based author who writes emotionally grounded fiction with a dark, speculative edge, grounded in the real places we turn to for escape. A financial IT professional by day and storyteller by heart, I try to blend the real and the surreal—crafting stories where ordinary people are forced to survive the extraordinary.

My debut novella, For After, was born from a thought while on a family trip to Disney World and shaped by the memory of his father's love for the park and the constant fear of wanting to protect his children. What started as a quiet "what if?" grew into a visceral story of grief, survival, and the fragile magic we hold onto when everything falls apart.

When I am not writing or working, I enjoys traveling, discovering new foods, exploring Phoenix and AZ, and volunteering alongside my amazing wife, kids, and our 3 rescue dogs. I believes the best stories are the ones that linger—just like the places we can't forget.
