I could here a big thumping sound, something was moving me up or down. I couldn't really tell because of how dark it was. But there was so many noises. I could hear whispers and the sounds of a crying boy. A young boy, not much older then 15-16. I could hear a British accent calling for help, STOP, NO! I could hear him calling names. They were, were...different. I heard someone named frypan being called for help. "BAM!" I stopped. Everything stopped, the noises, the yelling. It all stopped. To be honest I was scared. I didn't know where I was or WHO I was. Then there was a blinding light, sunlight to be exact. I was in a cage being surrounded by a young man, the man who was screaming for help. There were only boys and many of them. Was i in prison and why can't I remember my own name? "What is it?" I heard. "A girl..?!" I looked down and I was definitely a lady. Why was everyone so confused. Why was I such a crazy breed. And where was I. "Everyone be quiet!" Yelled the British boy. "I am Newt, I have been here for about 10-15 years, I stopped keeping track a while ago." " where am I?" I said. "You are home. Well at least until we find our way out.","these are the Glades. And that is the maze. Only runners can go there. And if you go in there you will most likely be stuck. And you will never get out. The maze opens early in the morning and closes at night. If I doesn't close, the Grievers will escape." " what are grievers?" I asked. "They are monsters, they carry a disease that will result in death." He looked me ok the eye and said "please stay out of there, you are too precious to let go of."
After the nuclear war with North Korea I truly have no idea how there is any trace of man kind left on the planet. But those who died during that battle that lasted no longer than a few hours were the lucky ones. They were subjected to instant deaths, and in my eyes and the world I now live in, that is the meaning of lucky.
We found home in a small military outpost just south-west of London, we found comfort in it and it is now my home. A world plunged into a nuclear war, one man must be brave enough to rise up against the evils that have spawned on the surface of the Earth. He must be wise enough to lead a group of survivors to safety. He must be smart enough to find a safe place in this world, and I'm afraid that person is me.
Dimitri Jones, after the loss of his wife must find a purpose in life again; He must face ferocious foes such as infected flesh eating homo-sapiens. Animals and insects which have evolved and mutated to become carnivorous, all in his discovery for a safe place, and that's just the beginning.
A striking coming of age story about self discovery, freedom, safety and love.
Prologue extract:
There was blood on my hands, a deep crimson liquid slowly dripping down my arms from the scratches and gashes caused by savage teeth. It was sick. No man should ever have to go through what I have just done. I keep telling myself over and over again that I didn't have a choice. Maybe eventually I'll believe it. Although deep down, I know I didn't have either a say or a choice; it was either them, or me.
