 Summary

It all started when Alex ran away from her home and her incurable tumor into the
woods where she met Elie, Mina the dog and her grandfather share their past stories when a
massive E.M.P goes off and all of the birds fall out of the sky, Elie’s grandfather falls to the floor
and dies. Then suddenly she falls to the floor and now bleeding. She notices that her watch is
not working and either does Elie, so they figure that all electronics do not work. Eventually they
get up and Elie now is crying because of her dead grandfather. Alex is trying to get a hold of
Elie but can’t, so the heads down a lake thirty miles away and so does Elie and Mina. Once they
made a shelter they get cornered by wild dogs but Mina tries to defend them but does not suc-
ceed then they heard gun shots then all of the wild dogs drop on the floor one by one. Once all
of the wild dogs are gone they saw what it looks like a young soldier who shot all of the dogs
they come to talk to him and they learn that his name is Tom and he is an army soldier that
came back from a war. He also has a lot of survival skills that they need.
He helps them build a shelter and make a plan to go to the ranger station to get help. The next
day they hike all the way up to the ranger station and hear a continuous noise. After a long time,
they get to see the ranger station and what the noise was coming from. It was coming from a
generator to power the ranger station. Once they got in it was an amazing shelter. It had food,
water, power and guns. They stayed there a while until they decided to go to Rule not far north.
