The air has become poisonous. Olivia and her fellow travelers have miles of underground tunnels standing between them and The Haven. And forget about vampires and zombies...at the end of the world, there are cannibals
I can’t remember the last time I read a more gripping first chapter. I’ve been reading a lot of first chapters recently and it’s a bummer when they don’t clinch it right off. Don’t I know!! Writing a first chapter is difficult. William Harms nails it.
I apologize for the wonky format above. The dialog between Mariah’s mother and Lewis is embedded in Mariah’s first person narrative. I tried to make this clear by placing Lewis’ dialog in intalics and Mariah’s mother’s has quotations. Unfortunately, these elements did not upload in the file for some reason. I don’t think it matters. It was a style decision and since it seems to now be a formatting issue, I may just get rid of it.
