Nanny Bot in the Apocalypse

Summary:

A sweet story about a nursery robot and a ragtag group of kids taking place in a post-apocalyptic world. A story to show hope is never lost, and even if the world ended, life; beauty; joy did not.

Nowhere is safe from the militant robots who still walk the earth 100 years after the end. Nowhere except the rumored blackout zone up north. However, to the kids who just lost their only adult, nanny or not, another robot seems like the last thing they need for the journey ahead. If only they had a choice on the matter.

NBA Chapter 4

A Spell & New Dress Two white figures marched in formation down the cracked street, like walking scars. Their steps and pace timed, even as one dragged a damaged leg after it. To anyone else, their positions and measured distance between them would seem random. But as she watched them, Kayla could see the phantom...

Broomstick The wooden stairs squeaked in protest as she ran down them. Things fell. Furniture moved. The sounds became clearer and clearer with each step she took. As did the muted screams. Kayla balled her fists.  She would not freeze. She would NOT freeze. This time. No. This time, she would fight. This time she...
