The Offering
“Eden stayed with Caspar and a group of kids he called “the mechanics” to work on getting the vehicle “shipshape,” whatever that meant.

Eden assured me it was a simple task, and that she’d have it completed by day’s end.
Brook and I had been split up to gather food, much of which still had to be scavenged, or caught and prepared. Brook had gone to collect canned goods and to inventory supplies, while I’d asked to be assigned to a hunting party.
At first I’d thought the idea of hunting sounded like another new challenge—like fighting or riding. But I quickly learned that the animals we were up against, forest creatures that were agile and adept in their own environments, were evasive, and trying to capture them was like trying to capture smoke with your bare fingers.
It was an exhaustive game, and one I soon realiz...ed I failed at miserably.MoreLess
