The Future Without Hope
by Nazarea Andrews
The Future Without
Hope Synopsis:
Separated from Finn, captive of the
Order, Nurrin has no hope left. But she has survived twenty years of
zombies--and she has the unshakable faith that Finn will find her.
But Finn is a long way away. The Order's influence runs deeper than was ever suspected, and politics are shifting--and zombies may not be the most dangerous thing she's facing.
Finn always thought the war stripped him of all he had to lose. But with Nurrin missing and doors closing in his face, he realizes there is always more for the world to take--and he will drag the remains of civilization down with him before he gives up on the only promise that matters.

Excerpt:
THE LESSON
THAT I LEARNED, in my years of fighting in the East and watching the world fall
to pieces, is that everyone wants something. And really, for most of us, it’s
basic. We want to live. We don’t even need to tack happy on. We just want to
live our lives. Some of us need to buy the lie to do that.
And that’s my
problem. Because I hate lies. I hate them when there isn’t a reason for them,
and I really fucking hate them when they’re well-intentioned.
The Haven is a
lie. It’s a promise of safety that can’t really be delivered. Walkers can
patrol the Walls, and the far scouts can clear out any wandering infects. But
in the face of a horde? They can’t do a damn thing, and the walls meant to
protect and keep the civilians safe become the tool that keeps them from
escape.
It’s a pretty
lie.
But in the
end, a lie is a lie, and it doesn’t matter how pretty it is—it’ll still kill
you.
The day drags
slow. Sonny and Holts leave shortly after I tell them to evac the Havens, and
Orwell stays only long enough to murmur a few words to Claire before he gives
me a searching stare and vanishes.
Waiting makes
me anxious—I can feel her slipping
away. Claire eventually banishes me from the downstairs, and I lock myself into
the dusty bedroom on the second floor, lying on the bed.
I don’t lie to
myself. And the truth—the ugly truth that I’ve been avoiding is this is my
fault. All of it.
Nurrin is with
the order, Collin god knows where, because I wouldn’t make the hard choices. I
should have killed Dustin before it became a threat.
