Ark

“She wished she could have told him that life was already full of dread, no matter who you were. That there was nothing you could have that you couldn't one day lose.”

One of the stories from Blake Crouch's “Forward” collection. We follow Samantha, a horticulturist and scientist, living in one of the remaining Arks on Earth: Ark Flora. Most of the Arks have already left the planet carrying all survivors to a new home. Her job is to catalogue plants before an incoming asteroid, Finis, brings the apocalypse and destroys all life as we know it.

It was okay. Too slow and emotional for my taste.
