![]() ![]() ![]() There are no easy answers either for Seth or readers. He faces doorways everywhere, with genuine death seemingly just beyond, but there are hints of something even more sinister going on. Past and present collide as Seth struggles to determine what’s real and what isn’t, whether circumstances are all of his own doing. Seth is rescued by a girl named Regine and Tomasz, a younger, Polish boy, from pursuit by a silent, helmeted figure they call the Driver. He spends days in a dust-covered, desolate landscape scavenging for food in empty stores, imagining that he’s in a “hell built exactly for him.” His dreams are filled with vivid memories of his life: his romance with a boy named Gudmund, a photo that’s gone viral, and farther back, his inability to keep Owen safe. He wakes, groggy, in front of the house in England where he spent his childhood, before his little brother, Owen, was kidnapped and the family moved to America. Seth, not yet 17, walks into the Pacific Ocean and ends his life. ![]()
