    About this ebook

    Narrowly escaping certain death, Brick and Tina straggle on, leaving a big mushroom cloud behind them where once a Russian base was.

    Tina, an inch away from death, lapses in and out of consciousness. Unable to help herself, she is at Brick’s mercy.

    Desperately, Brick seeks shelter, any shelter, because if they stay on the road, Tina will die. However, he is unaware that the Russians are still on their tail.

    Run, hide, and survive, in this wasteland of a world, where nothing is easy and surviving is the least of all.

      GONE WORLD

      EPISODE FOUR: NO SHELTER

      NO SHELTER

      You look pale. You sure you don‘t want to sit down and rest for a while?

      The voice sounded like it came from all around her. Tina lifted her head to look, but only managed to nudge her chin forward a little, stagger, and almost fall down. This wasn‘t the first time she almost fell or downright hit the ground with her knees. Each time, strong hands helped her back up, and each time, she wanted to struggle against the help offered, and stick him with her knife. She wanted to kill Nick again, but she lacked the strength.

      Let me help you.

      That voice again. No, it wasn‘t Nick. It was someone else.

      Tina pushed forward. She needed to keep moving, away from something she didn‘t remember, but these days, in this new world of theirs, you always fled something and it didn‘t matter what. You couldn‘t take for granted that anything outside could be gunning for you, and now she was weak and most likely dying.

      She stopped walking. Her right hand slowly touched her belly at the wet spot, the still bleeding spot, the spot that bastard had stabbed her. Her nostrils flared. She wanted to cry out in anger, but the strength her rage gave her was short lived. She sighed, her knees buckled, and she crumbled to the ground.

      Those hands again. Strong hands. Calloused hands. Yet still strangely gentle as she was helped back up. She tried to push him away, but the effort was weak, and this time he didn‘t give in, he kept holding her, almost pulling her up when he walked on.

      Hang in there, soldier. We got to find you a place to rest and to tend your wound.

      The way he pronounced soldier. The authority in his voice. It was the same sergeant‘s voice she had heard in old movies, movies she saw in a time before she was engulfed in war, movies she saw in a past life, when she still held the notion that war could be entertaining. Not so much anymore. Nothing good ever came from war.

      She remembered this sergeant‘s name. Sergeant Block. No. Brick, that was his name. The Army sergeant she met a day ago. The one who helped her escape.

      Tina shook her head. She couldn‘t trust men, but she had no choice. She was helpless, and deep down, she knew she didn‘t want to die alone, like the others she had left behind.

      Leave me. Her voice was hoarse. It hurt her, hearing herself like this. The sound made it only more real what was happening to her. She was messed up. No denying it. Nick got
