I read a short story given to me by my aunt about 45 years ago. I think the name was "The Blast" but I'm not certain.
It concerned a man that survived a plague of some sort and followed him for the next 40 years or so. It is not Earth Abides although it is somewhat like that.
Anyway, any help in identifying this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Wow, there are unfortunately quite a few books/stories that meet those general kind of characteristics. "I am Legend" by Matheson comes to mind. Nothing other than that seems to specifically fit in my memory. But you said it was a story so Matheson's work is out. Check something like "The golden Age of SF." You might find it there.
