The Survivor Chronicles: Book 1, The Upheaval - Plot & Excerpts
Her arms ached from the weight of it, but she didn’t dare lower it or the water would ruin their food. Al poked at the ground, with the long stick he had fished out of the water, before taking every step forward. The water was down to her knees now, but it was impossible to see the roadway below, the water was too murky from the sand and debris the tsunami has kicked up. Sweat trickled down her back, hair tickled her neck and face, but she couldn’t push it away. Al stopped as the stick dropped away, sinking to almost his hand within the water. Mary Ellen stood silently behind him, her heart hammering as he continued to prod the ground carefully. He began to move sideways, searching for solid ground again as he poked to the left of him. Mary Ellen glanced over her shoulder to the school they had left behind. The others were still gathered on the roof, watching as she and Al moved steadily away from the safety that the roof had represented. They had chosen to stay behind, opting to wait for the water to recede further before taking the risk of trying to cross through it.
