Starting from the night before, When the World Was Ours is a beautifully heartbreaking story of three people's journey to try and find a way to live when living doesn't seem like the best option. With raw emotion, hope and desperation, this story is one that will take the reader on a whirlwind of emotions through this post-apocalyptic world. wonderyear? has the ability to evoke such powerful emotion that the reader cannot help but feel their heart go out to the three as their journey grows more desperate.
