When she helps the survivors and falls in love with one of them, she is scared out of her camouflage panties that she will be sent back home. But as she discovers that her father is alive and hiding amongst the survivors, she now has to choose between her loyalty to her world and the loyalty to her father.

THE END WORLD is a .....

Hmmmm.... I'm interested. I'll give you my email and you can send it chapter by chapter.

You don't need to format it.

E.G. Subject Line - End World- Chapter 1
