Chapter 45
.
The bus ride to the Ark site was a little over an hour. Captain Greer tried to keep the kids upbeat. She handed out free snacks and sodas, showed them a brief film about the Ark. The "plot" of this film involved an old man, fifty years from now, telling his grandson aout how he helped build an Ark during the ELE crises. Although ELE had been diverted the old man still took pride in helping to build this shelter. He'd made some great friends during that time, including his wife, the little boy's grandmother. This movie might've been corny, with a fairly obvious message, but Eve liked it. She was still nervous, being away from home for so long. She would return home on August 23rd, 62 days from now. But there were 1124 days until impact. Eve had to help build this Ark in case they couldn't stop ELE. She just had to put her fears aside and do her part. Despite what he'd done a part of Eve wished that Adam were here, a familiar face. But he was on an Ark in West Virginia because his grandparents lived there. Then again, this Pennsylvania Ark probably had teens her age, who were probably as nervous as she was. So Eve decided she could wallow in self-pity for 62 days, or she could try to make some new friends while she was here.
