After the End Trilogy Box Set, page 45
part #1 of After the End Series
She made good time despite her injuries. She was back on the 93 and traveling north, chasing after the Nomads and anyone else out there who would listen to her warning. It was still early morning in Boston and the rain hadn’t come yet. Being on the road felt familiar to Eda. It felt good.
Movement is life.
Close to the old South Boston bypass, Eda heard a light tip-tapping noise at her back. At first she thought it was the rain. Then she stopped dead on the highway and a smile emerged on her battered face.
“Where the hell have you been?” she said.
Frankie Boy strolled up casually, like nothing was amiss. Like he’d been gone for five minutes chasing rabbits. He sat down beside her on the road and Eda crouched down, letting him lick her face and inspect her wounds.
“Missed me huh?” she said.
She let her hands rummage around his thick coat. Then she patted him on the back three times and rose stiffly to a standing position. She looked down the 93 again. A long, spiraling road stretched out in front of the two travelers. Eda had found the Nomads somewhere on this same road a few days ago. It felt like a lifetime ago.
Manifest destiny.
Is that what she was up against? Was it the divine right of the pauper nations to conquer the continent of North America and to turn it into something new?
Time would tell.
Eda and Frankie Boy exchanged a knowing look, one that would commit them to each other for the war ahead.
They walked together down the highway, side by side.
It began to rain.
The End
