Slow Dancing- Troy Otto

Scarlett Young was alone when San Francisco fell, the bombs quaking the ground beneath her heavily treading feet as she ran for her life. The government wasn't coming to save us, they were exterminating us. Her only concern is finding her mother, clutching a flier to a ranch just by the border, and a limp in her leg, she braved herself for the journey.

Will she find comfort in psychotic cerulean orbs? Will she allow herself to become vulnerable? Or will she harden into stone cold steel upon what she finds left for her at the ranch?...

Slow burn, mystery trope, mature themes given it's an apocalypse. Some themes may be too graphic for young readers, 16+ lets say. I know you'll read it anyways but just a precaution.

I obviously don't own the masterpiece Ftwd but Scarlett and her plot are plucked from my own noggin and shan't be copied. Ily. Xoxo
