Two weeks to get the supplies you need or die trying.
One chance to get it right.
In a world still trying to rebuild nearly eight decades after WWIII, it's a constant struggle to survive. Especially during Ash Season, the dreaded time every year when deadly gases and darkness descend upon the remaining inhabitants of Earth. Anyone unprepared for Ash Season won't live to see the next one.
The supplies Drake, Kelsie, and the rest of their Guild have spent months stockpiling are stolen only days before the start of Ash Season. Will they try to survive the deadly season by scrounging for whatever supplies they can? Or should they put everything on the line to track down the stolen provisions? If they choose wrong, their entire Guild will face certain death...
MISSION: ASH RUN is a young adult dystopian novella coming in at twenty-five thousand words in length. It does NOT contain paranormal elements since it happens at an earlier stage in the main character's lives than SPLINTER, and is meant to accompany the full-length novel SPLINTER that is also available here.
London Cole is a YA and NA Paranormal author living in the Rocky Mountains, Idaho, US. When he's not writing or outlining he can be found doing laps in his pool, playing a rock concert, or any of a variety of outdoor extreme sports.
London's debut SPLINTER is a Dystopian Paranormal based on the island he was raised on, Whidbey Island. Only, it's the island eighty years after the Third World War, and everything is a lot different...and a lot meaner.
