Six paragraphs from WET, Aftermath Series Book 2, an Apocalyptic/Post-Apocalyptic Romance

1. They trudged through the flow as they tried not to step on something that would make them slip and fall. Their lamps gave them some light, but only enough to see a couple of feet in front of them. What hampered them the most was the torrent that continued to pound the top of their heads and shoulders. As the raindrops hit the water in front of them, it splashed up, striking them with a force that made it feel like they were being barraged with hard little pellets.

2. Realizing what he was about to tell her might not be suitable for all ears, he took her hand and led her over to the far side of the living room, next to the fireplace that now warmed the contents of a couple of pots. He sat on the floor next to the hearth and waited for her to do the same. “Bud and the others believe the world as we know it may be gone, and people, what’s left of society, is breaking down.”

3. Easing them away from the building, Wylie glanced up at the condo, hoping to catch one more glimpse, perhaps a final glimpse, of Harper. She’d never kissed him like that. Not in all the time he’d known her while he was dating Gwen. All the kisses she’d given him back then had been quick. Chaste. This last one, though, had been neither. It was almost as if she believed she’d never see him again, and had wanted him to know…

4. “Yeah! Bud took a couple of shower curtains and made a little place out on the patio. There’s a stool with soap and shampoo. The rain is perfect. Cold, but, hey, beggars can’t be choosers. And it takes a while to wash off, but I promise you’ll feel so much better afterwards.” She tapped his arm. “After you do, I’ll medicate and redress those wounds to make sure they don’t get infected. I think that’s where you might have picked up that bug that made you sick.” Taking a deep breath, she also looked out the window. “This place is a haven. Tull brought some of our supplies in, so we’re eating off of them and what we found here for now. No one knows how long it’ll take before the water level rises to the point where we’ll have to leave again, but for now, it’s nice to be back on dry land.” She stifled a yawn, and he realized how tired she was.

5. The memory of discovering his father’s body so soon after the man had been gunned down returned in a whirlwind of darkness and pain. Wylie winced, gritting his teeth to keep himself from breaking down. Despite his best effort, hot tears welled up in his eyes and slid across the bridge of his nose and down the side of his face and temple. Fortunately, Harper turned onto her side, away from him, and he spooned up behind her to weep in silence.

6. Speaking of… Wylie’s gaze went to the bow and the two red five-gallon containers of gasoline the man had stolen from the boats at the hotel. By unanimous agreement, they’d decided not to fire up the engines unless it was critically necessary. Which was why for the past several days they’d been aimlessly drifting. With no particular place to go, what would be the sense in it?

It has been raining for days on end all over the world. The inundation is causing blackouts, severe flooding, homes going underwater, as well as entire coastal towns disappearing.

When will it stop?

Wylie Barraga and his dad, Cesar, are hoping for the best but planning for the inevitable, packing up whatever supplies they can find and readying their bass boat to launch. When Wylie’s girlfriend, Gwen, and her sister, Harper, call for help, Wylie and Cesar come to the rescue. Before long, water starts filling the house, and the group knows it’s time to head for higher ground.

Supplies are dwindling and becoming harder to find with everything submerged in the quickly rising water. Emergencies bring out the worst in people, and it doesn’t take long until it becomes survival of the fittest. But people have to work together to survive, and there are a few good ones left, ready to band together and look out for each other.

Who can they trust?

Is there a scientific explanation for the unending deluge, or is it divine intervention? Loyalties are tested. At times like this family means everything, or to some it means nothing at all. There’s nothing like the possible end of the world to bring out a person’s true feelings and personality.

Wylie and Harper are banking on love and humanity to win out.

Warning! Contains a lost walkie-talkie, rain rain rain rain and more rain, Star Wars bandages, lots of improvisation, the need for coffee, a stroke of luck, ewww oatmeal, a drum, and one man realizing his mistake in time to find the woman he truly loves.

With threats of solar flares larger than anything ever recorded looming, everyone on Earth is scrambling to prepare. No one knows how severe the consequences will be. With little to no warning, the massive flares hit, wiping out power grids, frying everything electrical or battery-operated, and burning out most living beings, unless you were lucky enough to be deep underground or inside something that could withstand the unimaginable temperatures.

In the end, the Earth has been left in total, absolute darkness.

Having rekindled their romance after their failed marriage, Gideon doesn’t want to be apart from D’hani, but she lives in another town. The last time he talked to her, he vowed to come looking for her if/when the big one hits. Because he works for Brodwyn Light and Power, he must stick around to help restore power when the flares pass.

Barely escaping death, he leaves to find her, to see if she also managed to survive, but life has been forever changed. Survival is now reduced to scavenging for whatever food and water he can find, and that means only the fittest or smartest will stay alive.

But some survivors have been reduced to savages.

Has humanity completely turned on itself? It seems there are still a few good ones left, though they are very few and far between. If Gideon can find D’hani, they’re going to search for a place where they can spend the rest of their days, however long that may be.

Although it may be the end of the world, their last wish is for them to be together.

Warning! Contains a natural spring, strawberry shit, a piece of porcelain and a rock, treachery, everlasting night, a dead sun, illegal stills, and two people being given a second chance at life and love.
