Della
Della hated parties. No, that wasn’t quite right. She abhorred parties.
Not the idea of them (a gathering to celebrate or socialize was banal enough),
but the memories they evoked. Memories of a different world and a different
life: sophisticated crowds glittering with power, prestige, strategy, and, most
important of all, ambition. A reminder that once upon a very different time,
basking in the endlessness of “what if,” stood a woman she barely
remembered but whose skin she inhabited.
Her own skin, which felt less like a vital organ and more like a living
shroud relegated to contain the remains of Adeline Cabrese, whose star rose
right before the world fell.
Della, as she was now known, blinked back to the present. She grounded
herself in the sharp pops of the bonfire, the sting of wood smoke in her eyes,
and the loud guffaws of large men. Known as Alphas in this upside-down
reality, they replaced the glitterati to claim all the power in this new world.
Nursing a cup of what passed for liquor, Della bided her time at the
impromptu party, thrown together to welcome half of the Pack back home
from their three-month trading trip.
The Alphas clustered in jovial groups of varying degrees of intoxication.
Some new faces mixed with the familiar, as the group had picked up several
new “brothers,” as they referred to each other, like members of some weird
dystopian frat. Della hadn’t caught the names of the new ones and, frankly,
didn’t care. Like every Alpha who’d trickled into the Pack, they would
inevitably cross her path with some uncouth comment or obnoxious behavior.
In short, she’d learn their names when they pissed her off.
In her early forties at the start of the apocalypse, Della had lived through
the century following the collapse. Millions died while massive radiation and
environmental disruption fundamentally altered those who remained. Beyond
creating the new Alpha and Omega dynamics, the resultant mutations also
disrupted normal aging in some who survived. Della included.
So, now, when she looked into the cracked mirror in her humble cabin,
she didn’t see a withered centenarian crone. She saw the face of a
distinguished, older woman. A woman who’d lived through it all and
abandoned all of her grandiose goals for one overarching imperative:
survival.
Never one to back down from a challenge, Della’d ticked that checkbox.
She’d survived. And that’s exactly how she felt. She’d survived for so
fucking long, she couldn’t even remember what it was like to actually…
just… live?
