I've never thought much about the apocalypse before. Much less the Rapture. Now I wonder if I've been blind on purpose, or just ignorant.
The end is coming.
I can taste it. I can smell it. I can feel it.
Hold on. . .
PRESENT DAY
Kay Jameson just wants to be a normal college student. To her shock, two fellow students physically threaten her in the journalism lab during the first week of school. Thank goodness Mitch, an artist, comes to her aid. Why do the students hate her? And what is the meaning behind Mitch's unusual drawings?
At home, her parents' arguments are tearing Kay up inside, and her sister seems to hate her. No matter how hard she tries, Kay just can't seem to do anything right. Even worse, her budding romance with the handsome Trent is creating an uncomfortable distance between Kay and her best friend, David. Kay is determined to do everything she can to salvage the relationships that mean so much to her.
The hate attacks on Kay and her church continue to intensify. Who is behind them?
Is it truly the end? Is the Rapture next?
EXCERPT:
FUTURE
Ash darkened the morning sky as Isola strode rapidly down the middle of the empty lane. It was quiet now. Sunday morning; her favorite day of the week. Everyone still slept in their sweltering beds, savoring the luxury of sleeping in late on their one day off.
But not Isola. She inhaled through gritted teeth, hating the burning taste of the smoky, bitter air which choked the city.
The desire to revisit the place had been building within her over the last month. It tugged at her empty soul. She wasn't sure why, but it felt like something waited for her there. Something valuable...
RmmmmRmmmR.
With a sharp inhale, she jerked her head left. Acrid air seared her lungs. She'd taken a chance, walking out here alone, while everyone slept. But she saw nothing...yet.
RmmmMRmMRM.
The mechanical rumble jarred the asphalt beneath her feet. It was about to turn the corner.
She had to hide.
Heart thumping, Isola paused to weigh her options. The pavement radiated heat up through the worn soles of her tennis shoes. She scanned the buckled concrete sidewalks and the dingy, crumbling buildings beyond. The broken windows looked like gaping black holes. But the stores weren't empty. Or safe.
The grinding, deafening roar made her want to run. Instead, she fought for the calm and logic that survival required. Outwit and outsmart. Don't run like a rat into the nearest sewer.
Her gaze focused on the stripped metal autos littering the sides of the street. She made a leaping, rolling plunge and dove into one of the vacant cars. The driver's side door was ripped off, the chassis bent double, seats gone. Its front end rested precariously on the tailgate of a rusted, dilapidated blue truck.
The hot metal seared her skin, and bolts ripped into her flesh. She yanked her knees to her chin and tumbled to the far, passenger side of the car. The back window revealed bits of her to the oncoming tank. And the leering, dangerous men inside.
The car swayed gently, cramming her neck uncomfortably into the crevice where floor and engine compartment met. She dared not breathe. Would the soldiers notice the car's movement? Would they stop to investigate?
She waited. The adrenaline and fear pumping through her blood made her feel sick. If the tank stopped, she would scramble out and run. She wasn't finished yet.
The familiar, cold lump of metal which dug into her waistband comforted her as the thundering rumble drew closer.
The olive green tank slowly heaved by, its nose dipping and falling as it rode the stationary waves of the demolished street. The American flag painted on its side said its soldiers were supposed to protect her. But she knew better. Oh, she knew better.

Descripción de la tienda
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
