The Curse: A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller (After the End Trilogy Book 1)
Page 17
It was over.
She stood there, letting it sink in.
“Are you okay?” David asked,
“Yeah,” Eda said, as a few light raindrops landed on her head. She was alright, but there was still a tight knot in her guts that reminded her this wasn’t going to be the happy ending she’d hoped for.
“An old friend of mine is still trapped back there,” she said. “I liked it better when I thought she’d run away. But I guess she’s made her choice.”
David looked back in the direction of the Complex. He nodded thoughtfully.
“And you’ve made yours,” he said. “No regrets, right?”
“None,” Eda said without hesitation.
She turned around and along with her two companions, set off towards the dark ruins of postwar America.
The fog of a gloomy afternoon closed in around them.
Eda shivered and glanced over at David as they walked. She could see the same fear on his face that she felt in her heart, but it was too late to doubt. They had nowhere to go back to.
They could only go forward.
The End
Dear Reader
Thanks for reading The Curse.
I truly appreciate it and if you have a moment to spare, please consider leaving a short review on Amazon or Goodreads.
Most people don’t leave reviews - perhaps they’re too busy or just unaware of how important they are in helping authors to keep doing what we do.
Even a short, one or two sentence review can go a long way.
Thank you.
P.S. More info on other books by me on the following pages.
All the best,
Mark
