It's been a sorry time and apparently society has completely collapsed... But why? I didn't like Teddy. I don't know why he got saved by so many people. It made no sense since everyone else was basically getting shot on site. But somehow, people that interact with him don't want to kill him (but do want to hit him on the head). I didn't like how the author wrote most of the characters. Teddy was this murderer who was somehow untouchable in prison. He's not affiliated with any gangs but somehow a black prisoner decides to spare him while killing everyone else. Also, what was up with the black character deciding to get lottery scratch offs and Newport 100s menthol cigarettes? Why did that need to be there? Why did all of the military soldiers have to be evil murderers? It hasn't been that long. I could see if it had been even a year... It hasn't. Why did she keep her kids isolated only to let him play with some rando kid?
