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

I rolled over and fluffed my pillow for what seemed like the hundredth time. It was only two in the morning, but I just couldn't seem to get back to sleep. The house was completely silent except for a tree branch, which was probably the reason why I awoke in the first place, that kept scratching against my bedroom window. I'd been dreaming of Lucas again and didn't remember the details, only that the dream left me feeling upset and unsettled. 


It seems like I've been dealing with insomnia and nightmares quite a bit over the last year, I thought with a sigh and decided to get up and go downstairs to make some tea. My grandma had a great recipe for sleepy-time tea, and it was evident that I was going to need it tonight.
