An Ombré Apocalypse

Riley just fell asleep in Calculus, and when she woke up, everyone was dead.

They weren't killed off by zombies or even a nuke; like Riley, they fell asleep, except they never got around to the 'waking up' part.

She wasn't asking for the apocalypse to happen in her sleep, and she definitely wasn't asking to have some flawed gene that made her a prime target for a crazy extremist organization. All she wanted was the impossible: for things to go back to the way they were.

But soon, she finds herself on a daunting trek across the country with a bunch of people she barely knows, and her life gets even more complicated.

Surviving. That should be Riley's top priority--her only priority. The problem is, sometimes she wonders if survival is really worth the cost, and she begins to realize that surviving and living are two very different things.
