Chapter Text

No-one was prepared for the world to end. Nobody had said that this was what you do when the sky burns, when the air turns to ash, when the apocalpyse comes with the fading light of the setting sun. Grace Williams stood silent and quiet as all around her, friends, strangers, different faces blurred into shadows of horror and confusion. Where their fear caused them to flee, years of careful, gentle, wisdom freed her mind of the chaos. A chapter of her life was beginning and ending in that same moment, she kept her wits and it saved her life.
