Only the Living (Lost Survival Series book 1)
“We were just three strange kids, getting to know each other as we huddled around a makeshift iron-basket fireplace. Trying to stay warm, we kept the low embers fuelled with nearby newspapers and gas from the lighters.
Our sad little group munched on crisps, drank way too many soft drinks and told funny stories about ourselves and the people we once knew. Brave faces ricocheted across from each other, trying not to show the underlying fear between the cracks.
If only for a few hours, eve...ryone stopped trying to rationalise the impossible things we saw that day. It was best to pretend that we were camping, that the occasional rustle of litter outside was 'just the wind'. For my own sanity, I needed that to be true.
Beth wouldn’t stop talking about nonsense for most of the night, hopped up on sugar and trying to keep herself occupied. She told us everything about her school life — and I do mean everything — down to the seating positions of her classmates and their entire year’s homework schedule.MoreLess
