Disappeared into writer land and hours passed without noticing. Should make din din now.

I like this passage. Says a lot with so little.

(Note: this is a draft sample, subject to change.)

The fourth boat housed animals. Animals of all kinds, but that had been deemed worthy of saving. Again, “for the good of the people,” is what they were led to believe. Which was all bullarky as far as Cody was concerned. She gave up following the news, gave up listening to everyone. When the storm hit, it may come to only one boat surviving.

Whichever one she got on.
