Tag Game: Last Line You Wrote

Thanks @existentialcrisistime for the tag! I actually don’t really have an active wip since I’m currently posting Blue Dawn Over the Plains, but here’s something I did an edit of last night so you get a paragraph:

Six hours before, I’d pulled over to the side of the road and stumbled out, barely out of home and ready to turn back and admit I’d made a mistake.

Uh mind suddenly going blank on mutuals, but @ifdragonscouldtalk @majormiles and @polarsnowfox ? And anyone else who wants to of course!!

Like power cuts and kisses in parking lots and intercontinental ballistic missiles” #which is one of the strangest sentences I've ever written but there we go #for those who know this is apocalypse lesbians take two
