CHAPTER FIFTEEN

When they were young, in love and in college, they were pretty carefree. Lana and Ben believed they were going to school just to appease their parents and eventually planned to drop out, live off the land, be artistic people and change the world.

Then student loans and responsibilities kicked in. Lana got pregnant so they married because it was the “right” thing to do, but then she lost the baby at five months.

It devastated them both and zapped them out of their fantasy world. They stayed in reality for a long time, growing bored, working long hours and fighting all the time.

They aged but they remembered those times of biking for days, getting high in the woods and making love under the stars.

It was their past that made them believe they could have a future … alive.

They weren’t able to find backpacks in the beach house, but the general store had them along with the supplies they needed. They also were able to find bikes. Bikes would be a quiet means of transportation and easy to manipulate on and off road so they could stay hidden.

South was out of the question, since that would take them to New Jersey and surely if New York was hit, Jersey probably was, too.

They had to go north.

It was about eighty miles Massachusetts and they hoped that the virus or whatever biological weapon that was used hadn’t hit there.

Ben and Lana used common sense before taking off.

They tried to figure out what had happened.

It was big, and yet neither Ben nor Lana felt the attack wasn’t from a big country. Russia and China had the means to hit them, but no reason. Plus, they would have used nuclear weapons. Then again, nuclear weapons might have been used; they just did not know.

Whoever had done, it had to have been either a small country or at least one that was underestimated. The internet news source was still up and running so that told them a good part of the country was too.

If it was just the east coast that was hit, then New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC would have been the focal points of attack.

Connecticut and New Hampshire as well as parts of Massachusetts were entry points for invasion and hence the reason for chemical weapons.

Had it been a bigger country that attacked, then Connecticut would probably have been hit like New York. Instead they used biological weapons there.

They blew their explosive loads on the bigger cities.

Hit the United States, hit them big, cause confusion, chaos and while the United States scurried to pick itself up, hit with an invasion.

Hit them when they’re down.

Arriving at those theories, Ben and Lana realized they were smack dab in the middle of the point of entry. The first wave arrived; it would not be long before the second came.

Not that they believed Massachusetts was any better to be, but the small towns on the western side of the state were heavily forested and may have been spared by the grace of nature’s foliage.
