This introductory poem I think sets the stage for the dark, Apocalyptic world that Emily and crew are now living in.
Welcome to the Apocalypse
You shut the door
and dare not look.
You hide from the shadow
that lurks there.
Galloping wildly
in the crevasses of your mind,
it takes up residence
in your grey matter,
content to live
amongst your fears.
Did you see it there,
skulking behind the door?
Did you feel it stalk as
you step into the obsidian night?
Try as you might
to resist its call,
it pulls at you,
both night and day,
like the tide
eating the shore.
Your hope,
like grains of sand.
Pulled inexorably
into the dark sea.
