Chapter 25: Yuma Starlight Facility

Devin saw his father’s blue truck in the same spot it had been when he first left for the dunes. He let his hand run across it as they entered the building. There was no sign of life anywhere around.

“There’s blood on the door,” Dallas said, nudging the door open with his foot.

Landon pushed through, “it’s from the last time I was here,” as he walked in the lights powered on.

It’s not the most important station but it was one of the main facilities for the biological factors of the project.”
