Teaser Tuesday(12)

Teaser Tuesday for 12.28.2010 is Empty by Suzanne Weyn

Goodreads blurb:

It's the near future - the very near future - and the fossil fuels are running out. No gas. No oil. Which means no driving. No heat. Supermarkets are empty. Malls have shut down. Life has just become more local than we ever knew it could be.

Nobody expected the end to come this fast. And in the small town of Spring Valley, decisions that once seemed easy are quickly becoming matters of life and death. There is hope - there has to be hope - just there are also sacrifices that need to be made, and a whole society that needs to be rethought.

Teens like Niki, Tom, and Gwen may find what they need to survive. But their lives are never going to be the same again.

Teaser:

"A guy at the gas station told me where I could get some black market gas and gave me directions. When he told me I should ask for Luke, I realized I was going to your house." He looked toward the wall of bushed as the back of her small yard. "Hey, you live right behind me."
