Jeff  Butler
“The mask that we all thought was our real face — that of civility, morality, and adherence to law and order — sloughed away quickly like the skin of a snake. It revealed underneath the vile degeneracy of mankind.”
Jeff Butler, The Ahavah Decision: a novella

Ann Swann
“After the apocalypse one learns what is most important.”
Ann Swann, Takers
