Waking Up to Ash and Dust

Hey, my name is Ash (my real name is Sam) I am 22, i am from Wisconsin and i am a hopeless romantic. I realize that in a world like this it is virtually impossible to find love but a girl can dream right. I have 2 older brothers Matt and Cam and they moved out a few years before the world ended to move to Georgia. I was abused by my mom when they left because she blamed me for it. They moved out after my dad was killed in a shooting so now its just me and her.(My nickname is Ash because I always used to build fires with my brothers.)
