Z for Zachariah: ALTERNATE *Summary Published+Sneak Peek Coming soon*

"You two were not made of love, but for the good of the world. Remember that."

Those were Amandas mothers words to her and her little brother Robby when they questioned her on why no one else lived in their little valley. The words hurt, but they were true.

Ann had never loved that controlling scientist of a father, and seeing that the world she lived in was in ruins; she was forced to return after threatening to shoot him, and start a family.

Whether she regrets it is something she mulls over every night.

Amanda Loomis lives in the valley that separates her from the rest of the world.

Taking care of her little brother and forced to watch her mother slowly die of depression for reasons she doesn't know, Amanda cant help but wonder why she was born.

She loves the valley, the farm she lives on, and the beautiful colors that spread through the sky at sundown, contrasting with the dark yellow of the sky outside of it. But the secrets beyond the valley are kept from her, and always will be.

At least, thats what she thought...
