Or a ghost.In the towns, she was a campfire tale. Something used to frighten children.There were a dozen versions of the Lost Girl story, and in each one of them she died. Sometimes the zoms got her. Sometimes it was crazed loners. Sometimes it was her own bleak despair.The Lost Girl died, though, in every version of the legend.When Benny, Nix, and Tom brought her to Mountainside and she learned about those stories, she laughed. They were stupid stories. Silly.A teenage girl, living alone? With no one to protect her?No, they all said. Couldn’t happen. She would die.The Lost Girl. Dead according to everyone who spun a tale about her. It was impossible for a girl to survive out in the Ruin alone. Everyone knew that. There were too many dangers. Zoms and wild animals and bounty hunters. There were crazed loners and cannibals and a thousand different kinds of disease.Stupid stories, she told herself. Except at night, when she thought about them in the private darkness of her bedroom, in t...he one place where she was safe enough to be weak.MoreLess
