Lies and dark family secrets that threaten to destroy her world.

The year is 2040 and it's been eighteen years since a deadly zombie apocalypse destroyed over 75% of the world's population. This is the story of Kaley Black and what her life is like growing up in a post-apocalyptic world.

"Just then there was another flash of lightning and I was face-to-face with a zombie who was standing just outside the window.  Staring into his cold dead eyes was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. And I swear that the blood in my veins actually froze for an instant, leaving me unable to move or even speak."

WHAT CAME AFTER

When I awoke the next morning, I was surprised to find myself alone. Norah and Moose had both managed to leave the room without waking me, which was almost as surprising as the fact that Norah had gotten up before me. She was not a morning person, and you usually couldn't drag her out of bed before mid-morning. Oh well, I thought with a shrug, maybe she was in a hurry to get back on the road. 


I dressed in my usual jeans, and because of the cooler weather, I added a long-sleeved flannel shirt and a heavy pair of socks and boots. After brushing my hair, I left it loose to flow over my shoulders. It had grown since I'd cut my braid off last year and now reached midway down my back. A lot had happened since then; I reflected as I repacked my backpack and made ready to get back on the road. It had been almost six months since Grandma had left me at Celeste's house, and Moose was now fourteen months old.
