But she remembered the people coming in and out of that place–they’d been bundled up in heavy, thick layers.

Fort City was supposed to be a warm place. It had no business being that cold.

But then again, the apocalypse was here. Logic didn’t live here anymore, did it?

In her past life, hatred had blinded her. Obsessed with survival and power, she’d ignored the world outside–which was why she’d missed the signs this time around.

In this life, she didn’t have to worry about escaping that hellhole anymore. All the things she’d overlooked in her past life? It was time to pick them back up.

‘If a deep freeze is coming, we can’t just ignore the signs,” Josie said. “Starting today, if you don’t have a critical job to do, you’re on wood duty. Get out there and start chopping. Anything that can burn for heat–I want it hauled back here. Dry it out and stockpile
