Criado para Persistir: Uma história marítima de amor pós-apocalíptica
by Steve VernonAconteceu apenas ontem, ou talvez no dia anterior. As bombas foram lançadas. Ninguém sabia o porquê. Talvez um estudo político fosse tomado cuidadosamente em consideração. Talvez um financiamento de pesquisa tivesse sido envolvido. Um novo plano para revigorar a bolsa de valores. Qualquer que seja o motivo, o devido cuidado foi sem dúvidas tomado e todos os aspectos foram cuidadosamente considerados. Certamente a proposta foi analisada no Senado um ou duas vezes No final das contas uma eleição estava a caminho. E depois eles foram em frente e o fizeram. Todo vestígio de civilização foi eliminado, salvo alguns poucos resquícios teimosos grudados ao longo de sombrias margens da existência. Como costumam dizer, talvez as províncias marítimas do Canada.

Bueno, hice todo eso y luego, pero poco, supe que mi aventura de una noche se convertiría en mucho más por no hablar de introducirme en un mundo sobrenatural que nunca supe que existía.
