Just a little teaser...
          
          
          Everywhere, there was broken debris. Bits of glass scattered across the ground made walking a caution. 
          The Aperton River, nearest to the city, had flooded. Gigantic waves had crashed into the harbor, sending fishermen running for the city. Thousands of people had been wiped out, diminishing the population by almost ninety percent. As much as Claire didn’t want to believe it was real, it was. Everyone and everything she loved was taken away from her in the blink of an eye.
          
          As Claire staggered around the city on her one good leg, she was devastated by her surroundings. Her favorite fishing spot, Lackerod Pier, on the Aperton River, was gone. Boats pierced into what was left of the shattered pavement. Puddles dotted the ground, making every few steps a splash into one. The feeling that Claire has felt before increased. Terror, sheer terror, coursing through her veins. 
          
          But, as much as it hurt to even think about the love ones Claire had lost to the apocalypse, she closed her eyes and imagined a whole new world. Her family, alive and safe. Everything Claire had ever loved was back, but better.
          
          Claire strolled around this bright new world, taking in all of her surroundings and chatting with familiar faces along the way. The pain that she had felt mere minutes ago was gone, lost in the void of long-term memory, yet it was still there, lingering in the back of Claire’s mind. And it would come back to bite her soon.
