CHAPTER ELEVEN

THE WORLD as we know it has ended and a new one has begun, one without laws. An EMP knocked out all the electrical devices across America, and perhaps even the world. Thomas 'Mack' Mackenzie, Grace Everly, and Luis Gonzalez already have been through a lot, even though they've only just found each other. Having rescued Luis from a crazed family, the three of them traveled to a military bunker in the hopes of rebuilding some sense of order, only to find the bunker had been attacked before they arrived. There were no signs of who had attacked it. The place was littered with corpses and had been stripped of anything worthwhile. The three of them now had to plan their next moves.

They only had oil lanterns to illuminate the bunker, and this gave the place a dingy feel. After they had searched the place they spent time dragging the bodies out and covering them in some tarpaulin and rocks they had found. It was a grim task and already Mack had seen too many people die in this apocalypse. It also made him feel guilty that he couldn't bury any of the bodies, as it would have taken too much effort and time to dig a big enough grave. His mind turned to the bodies that he and Grace had left after the plane crash, which would have been rotting by now. He pinched the bridge of his nose, wishing this whole thing never had happened.

After that, the three of them decided to stay in the bunker for a day or so while they planned their next move. Their plan had been to get to the bunker and see if the military personnel had any information about what had happened, but the only records left weren't helpful. The only plan the small group had at the moment was to survive. Mack knew the two younger people were looking to him for leadership, but he never had thought he would be in this type of situation. However, there was a grimly ironic thread in that he saw himself almost as a father to the two of them, especially Grace, even if she still technically was his prisoner. If the EMP hadn't hit and life had carried on as normal he and Anna, his wife, would have been trying to bring a new life into this world.

But now the thought of a baby being introduced to this wasteland of a country made Mack feel nauseous. He couldn't imagine how dangerous it was, or how a fragile, vulnerable thing like a baby could make it through these days. It was difficult enough for him, and he had been in the army for a little over two decades.

“You know, I always imagined different apocalypse scenarios but I never thought it actually would happen, and I didn't think it would be like this,” Luis said. He was sitting on a chair with his legs resting on the desk, staring up at the ceiling.
