Atlanta Run
#17 in the Endworld series

David L. Robbins


Prologue
The woman paused on the crest of the low hill and glanced over her
right shoulder at the twinkling lights of the metropolis a mile distant. The
wind whipped her brown hair into her green eyes, and she swiped at the
lashing strands with her left hand. Held in her right arm, clutched close to
her breast, was her child.

There was no sign of pursuit; the highway behind them was deserted.

Good.

Their escape had gone unnoticed.

She smiled in triumph as she faced to the south and fled into the night.
The prospect of bumping into a mutant chilled her blood, but there wasn't
any other choice. If she stopped, if she sought shelter from the elements,
she risked being discovered by a Terminator patrol. The Terminators
frequently ranged more than a mile from Atlanta, so she wasn't in the
clear yet.

Another mile should do it.

"Mommy?"
 "Not now, Chastity."

"I'm scared."

"There's nothing to be scared of."

"You're scared, Mommy."

The woman looked at the upturned, cherubic features of her
six-year-old, barely visible in the gloom, and wrapped her left arm around
Chastity's back for added support. "Why do you say that?"

"I can feel it," Chastity replied.
