I thought today would be a good day to share the prologue of my Novel "The Enraged" with you all.
Take a read and let me know what you think. Thanks!
PROLOGUE
Shay Kimball Donovan was twenty-nine
years old when her world changed forever. The year was 2026, and the United States was
trying to pull out of what seemed like a never-ending recession. The
President had succeeded in his agenda for bigger government which severely
divided the people and handicapped the nation. Nearly half of the US
population was on welfare assistance as unemployment levels were at historical
highs. Taxes skyrocketed to astronomical levels to support the ever-growing
group of entitlement-minded people and the US dollar dwindled in value.
The United States was so far in debt that the government was on the brink
of collapse. The country was so divided politically that individuals had
to choose sides between being Republican or Democratic, there was no middle
ground. People had forgotten the value
of a true Republic government. Many were
so upset with the long standing regime that they were preparing to take up arms.
To compound the problems, the
President was winning his personal war against the Second Amendment. His
plan to destroy firearms and ammunition through gun buyback programs was a
tremendous success. Many Americans
eagerly traded their firearms and freedom for $100 gift cards. For those
who still owned firearms, the gun laws had become so stringent that you had to
keep guns hidden away unless you were hunting. Having so few weapons in
the hands of citizens and limited ammunition created the perfect scenario for
total disaster. A sudden leprosy pandemic was cause for major concern,
but the leprosy wasn't what should have been feared...
