Fire From the Sky

Post-Apocalyptic Fiction by N.C. Reed
The violent group of raiders that called themselves the North Alabama People's Militia has been defeated but not without cost to the Sanders Clan and the the town of Peabody. The People's Militia believed themselves to be fiercer and more violent than their victims and had enjoyed tremendous success until learning the hard way at the hands of Clay Sandersa and his associates that not all of the "good people" with moral standards are sheep...some are actually sheepdogs that can be just as vicious as they thought they were, and perhaps even or moreso, when the lives of their loved ones are threatened. Now, with the imediate threat eliminated, Clay Sanders and his clan must get back to every day life in a post-apocalyptic world as they try to rebuild strength, improve their position and prepare for whatever new challenges may arise in the future. To be sure, life before the "fire from the sky" electromagnetic pulse that fried the power grid was not perfect and it certainly had not gotten any easier or more fair after the lights went out. New challenges and tragedies will continue to emerge and nature will run its course and have its way no matter how brutal or unfair it seems after all that the Sanders have been through. Oh well, no one said that life after apocalypse would be easy.
