TrailOff: Chronicles of Asylum (Bartram's Mile)

Chronicles of Asylum by Li Sumpter is an immersive story that follows the Schuylkill River Trail at Bartram’s Mile.

About the story:

Set in future Philadelphia circa 2045 on the eve of a major cosmic event, Chronicles of Asylum follows savvy young journalist Liliquoi Brown as she investigates an otherworldly urban myth in hopes of finding two missing visitors to a refugee camp on the Schuylkill River. Exploring survival and sacrifice, home and exile, humanity’s fate and hope for the future, Chronicles follows the path of this unexpected trailblazer.
