The Towers Of Zenith Aspired Above The Morning Mist; Austere Towers Of Steel And Cement And Limestone, Sturdy As Cliffs And Delicate As Silver Rods. They Were Neither Citadels Nor Churches, But Frankly And Beautifully Office-Buildings. The Mist Took Pity On The Fretted Structures Of Earlier Generations: The Post Office With Its Shingle-Tortured Mansard, The Red Brick Minarets Of Hulking Old Houses, Factories With Stingy And Sooted Windows, Wooden Tenements Colored Like Mud. The City Was Full Of Such Grotesqueries, But The Clean Towers Were Thrusting Them From The Business Center, And On The Farther Hills Were Shining New Houses, Homes--They Seemed--For Laughter And Tranquillity.

To the many boys and girls who are in early years earning an honorable support for themselves, or else assisting their parents by working in factories; to the multitudes of young church members, who may be glad of some practically helpful suggestions in surmounting the difficulties and resisting the temptations incident to their new lives; to mill-owners, who feel their solemn responsibility, as in the sight of God, for the intellectual and spiritual welfare of their operatives; and chiefly to the young Christian manufacturer who has been the model from which the picture of "Mr. James" has been copied,--this story, whose incidents are mostly true ones, is dedicated.

Esmeralda White woke up on a normal day in a normal house with a normal family, but it all went downhill from there... In the small town of Newheart, not much contact was made with the outside world. They had their own factories, their own farms, their own schools, their own police force, and their own lives and they didn't want that to change. But it did... A virus broke out in a town located a few miles south of Newheart, and it spread faster than it could be stopped. But there was a problem. Even though the virus itself was eventually contained, those infected were not. Soon they began attacking anything alive and spreading the virus. It was like a twisted irony. Of all the things that could end the world, it had to be zombies... [more]

A Dry Snow Had Fallen Steadily Throughout The Still Night, So That When A Cold, Upper Wind Cleared the Sky Gloriously In the Morning the Incongruous Indiana Town Shone In a White Harmony--Roof, Ledge, And Earth As Evenly Covered as By Moonlight. There Was No Thaw; Only Where The Line Of Factories Followed the Big Bend Of The Frozen River, Their Distant Chimneys Like Exclamation Points On A Blank Page, Was There A First Threat Against The Supreme Whiteness. The Wind Passed quickly And On High; The Shouting of The School-Children Had Ceased at Nine O'Clock With Pitiful Suddenness; No Sleigh-Bells Laughed out On The Air; And The Muffling of The Thoroughfares Wrought An Unaccustomed peace Like That Of Sunday. This Was The Phenomenon Which Afforded the Opening of The Morning debate Of The Sages In the Wide Windows Of The "National House." [more]
