Lost & Found
(2020)(The third book in the Beyond Green Fields series)
A collection of stories by Adrienne Lecter
You’ve read the novels of Bree and Nate’s fight to survive the zombie apocalypse—now prepare for a deep-dive into Nate’s mind!
Contains four short stories set in the Green Fields universe.
Life: Life happens - a few snippets set after GF#9: Exodus. Nate's POV
What do they say? Life goes on.
That saying has always annoyed me, but it’s true. Five days since our drop-off at the Georgia coast, and routine is the name of the game.
Today is the first day I wake up moderately rested. It took me forever to clock out, my mind startling at every sound the sturdy wood around us made, but I can tell that it was a good night’s rest. I still feel like crap, and the fact that my self-healing rate seems reduced now—compared to Bree’s which is still off the charts—makes me paranoid and cranky on a good day… and we haven’t exactly had many of those lately.
But this morning, my head is clear, my body flexes and moves like it’s supposed to, and the aches from various residual injuries are easier to ignore than before.
That’s when I realize what’s different today: this feels like vacation.
Hope: Nate's point of view of a part in the second half of GF#10: Uprising
I pace up and down my cell—five steps one way, five steps back—incapable of standing still.
I’m so fucking hungry, I feel like my insides are about to tear apart, leaving a hole where my stomach used to be. Those few bites of muscle have done nothing to satisfy the hunger, might even have worsened it.
Why haven’t they fed me yet? Didn’t I perform exactly as expected?
I stop to stare up at the slit high up in the wall that lets in virtually no light since it’s not just dark, but a storm is raging outside. Rainwater is starting to run down the wall, making my cold, dark hole one degree more inhospitable than it already is.
Talk in the Dark: A conversation that happens during the first night just after GF#10: Uprising. Nate's POV
The foremost emotion on my mind is elation.
Elation that it’s over. Elation that I have my life back; free will and choice are intellectual concepts that you only ever value when they are being taken from you. Taking them back doesn’t feel like you’ve gained something, just that you’re no longer missing something essential.
Relief comes next. Relief that, right now, I only have to deal with the shit that I want to deal with. That I’m not just free, but have a small army at my beck and call.
Evacuation: When the world is about to end, he’s the man they send out to save the bacon. Bucky Hamilton’s POV
Beware: Contains spoilers for the Green Fields series. The anthology can be enjoyed as a stand-alone work of fiction but is intended as a companion piece to the novels.
