After three tours of duty,
and serving the last four years overseas, Griffin Strong is
looking forward to finally returning home and living out his
life without bombings and bloodshed. After a 300-mile drive
home, a quick trip through the car wash ends in another
reality. An eerie, fog-covered reality where he is all
alone…or so he thought.
With no electricity, cars
that don’t function, and guns that won’t fire, Griff has to
find protection for himself, but protection against what
exactly? What the hell even happened? Survival instincts
kicking in, he stocks up on whatever he can carry, and sets
out on his own.
Griff soon learns that he’s
not completely alone, although life of any form is rare to
come across, but whom can he trust?
When the subway in Manhattan
dumps Natalia Westfall in a snow-covered, deserted town far
from New York, she’s left alone, frozen, and desperate. Hope
lies in a uniformed military man, but will he want to be
weighed down by a sick, weak female like her? Griff takes a
chance, and it doesn’t take him long to learn she’s anything
but weak.
Facing thirst, starvation,
acid rain, enemies, and extreme temps--what will get them
first? The odds are stacked against them, and all they can
count on is each other.
Warning!
Contains a red raincoat, a handy dandy trowel,
first dibs, Boom!, strained coffee, an antique car, an
implausible but possible theory, a rain of sand, and two strangers finding
themselves thrust into a situation where their lives depend
on trusting each other.

Griffin and Natalia are still surviving one veil at a time, living
life not knowing when another one might make an appearance, or where
it may take them. Mountains, desert, summer or winter—there’s no way
to prepare, they just take what’s thrown at them. Through it all
their love continues to grow, and it’s more than just because of
circumstance. They’ve grown to rely on each other. Depend on one
another. But they shouldn’t get too comfortable…
They soon learn that with the storms, they’re not only traveling to
different locations, but different times as well. How far into the
future or past will they go? When will it end? No one knows. All
that matters is they have to survive, no matter what. Together.
Do they find strength in numbers, gain new allies, or are they safer
with just the two of them? New enemies, old friends, and new
revelations of their situation… They’ve developed a theory, and if
it’s correct, they could finally end back up where they started, but
that could mean losing each other for good, which they vow never to
do.
Warning! Contains crocs or gators, a tanker truck, missing
livestock, the smell of rotten eggs, a dumpster, chocolate-topped
crullers, a windmill and a buoy, gang activity, and the unexpected
chance to cement vows of love
|
Now married,
Griff and Nat couldn’t be happier to have shared the moment with
their friends, but the honeymoon period won’t last long. Still
plagued with the veils and acid rains, they’re just trying to do
what they do best—survive.
However, things
seem to be changing, improving. Cars are working again, guns are
firing, there’s even electricity, but still they find themselves
traveling through time. With each event, it seems they're getting
closer to their original eras.
The world looks to be healing itself, and as long as they stick
together, they believe they’ll make it through. The only problem is,
if their theories are correct, at some point they will have to let
each other go to return to their own year where it all began.
Hope prevails, but uncertainty continues to rear its ugly head.
Will it ever be over? And if it does end, will they be able to
reunite with their future selves?
Warning! Contains a broom, a length of twine, scientific
impossibilities, a fireworks grand finale, a train, and a reason to
believe the madness will soon come to an end, which gives them hope
for a life together.
