Afterburn: A Post-Apocalyptic Thriller (Next Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
He liked the old man, and Franklin had certainly imparted a lot of survivalist knowledge, but Stephen kind of liked being boss of the bunker. Whenever DeVontay and Rachel were away, Stephen was able to show off a little. Even though he admired Marina, among his other feelings for her, he was a year older than she was. And he was, like, forever older than Kokona, who never aged. Both of them were smarter than Stephen, true, but he was bigger and he understood the bunker’s operating systems better than anyone. He’d even learned things that he never shared with the others, although he occasionally felt a little guilty over his selfishness. Although he’d largely abandoned his childhood love of comic books, he still saw himself as something of a superhero. The post-modern, damaged kind, not the flawless and indestructible benefactors of a race they didn’t quite belong to. You don’t get much more post-modern than this, Little Man.
