![]() ![]() It was like watching it unfold on high speed. ![]() I loved the ‘rhythm’ of this story, not sure if you understand what I mean. “Only 2 minutes since we’d run out of food.” “98,409,602 seconds since the heavy, steel door had fallen shut and sealed us off from the world. “3 years, 1 month, 1 week and 6 days since I’d seen daylight. I’m starting to like these creatures (in a ‘like to read about them’ kind of way). I must confess that I’ve misread it – it gave me the feeling that the story might be about some concentration camps or something similar (this reminds me that I still need to read ‘Between Shades of Gray’), but in fact this is a light dystopian story about – among other things – zombies. …it’s simple, and perfect, and it tells so much about the story, you only have to listen to it, to really watch it. The other life has been so easy, so beautiful, so full of color, and joy, with so many things to enjoy and so little to worry. This life is one of hiding, of trying to survive, of fighting monsters, of not knowing if tomorrow will ever come for you, not knowing if your family will be safe, if you’ll be able to keep them alive. There is this big gap between this life and the other life. Such a lovely read! There were so many things I loved about this story that I don’t even know with what to start. “Danger is not the only thing that makes your heart beat faster” ![]()
