Scavenger

Scavenger, they called him. Ben Elliott was a fool, everyone in high school thought, a fool for believing what his grandfather believed: the world was about to shatter. For years, Ben and his grandfather had worked hard to prepare for the end of the world, gathering supplies and equipment, buying what they could, taking any castoffs people cared to give them, and ferrying them to their place hidden in the foothills of Cat Mountain. Ben’s grandfather was rightâ€"but as Ben discovered, things seldom happen as planned. All summer Artie Ames had felt that something was wrong, something she couldn’t name. Even after school began in the autumn, she still couldn’t shake the feeling. Then came what would be called The Last Friday. Suddenly, everyone she loved was gone and Artie found herself running in the dark. Everything Artie and Ben had known had fallen away, and winter was coming. Could they survive?
