The Afterwards

**New and Lengthened Edition**

I'd always known I was different, a loner, the pretty little weird girl. But
not even my overactive imagination could've made this up...

When will the world end? We all wonder this at some point in our lives. For
me, it was sooner than I expected. Now I'm in hiding with Markus Kelly, a
man I just met, against an enemy that claims they were here first and we're
the trespassers.

My name is Ruby Wynn and according to some ancient prophecy I'm a
dream'ar, not a dreamer, and my dreams have the power to unfold in waking
reality. But the last thing I want is to close my eyes at night, and I'm dreadfully
tired of hiding. I want to give up but Markus won't let me. I want my life back.
I want my loved ones back but fate wants me more, one last time.
