Have you ever been so paranoid that the very sound of your heart beating seemed like it would attract something...a certain something, that the mere thought of it caused the hairs on the back of your neck to rise. The world you knew, the world of yesterday is gone. The sound of children playing on the streets, the laughter of people or just the sound of a car driving by...all of it seems like a distant memory. Todays world, a world so alien, so hostile, that walking across the street is risky. Its a world of survival. Close calls and near death experiences are the norm...This is the world that Gabriel and Zoey, two young survivors, who, for the past fourteen months have come to call home. Pale, winged monstrosities, with paralysis-inducing tails and mouths filled with needle-like teeth. A blind telepathic phoenix, capable of 'seeing' the world around it with its mind. Anticipate the unexpected...because just when you think you're safe. . . .
