Surviving the Evacuation (Book 2): Wasteland
“15:07, 25th June.
After everything I've been through since the outbreak in February, I didn't think I'd have to worry about anyone firing a gun at me. Now, and in the space of only two hours, I have been shot at fifty times. I've been counting. The first bullet was a surprise. I didn't think Longshanks Manor was still occupied. Then came the second shot. That was when I realised what was happening.
I ran into the maze. I knew there was a wildlife park and remembered the Manor was one of... the most imposing stately homes in southern England, but I didn't know they'd put in a maze since I was last here.
Last year, when the maze must have rung with the sounds of happily lost children and frantic parents, the hedges reached over seven feet high. Now, after half a year's sun and rain they've grown ragged, with fresh growth sprouting up so high that these new branches are bent over under their own weight. Ducking behind the large hedges was an instinctive response.MoreLess
