RAYNA

The ceiling cracked above us, I threw myself over Sera again just as a slab of concrete crashed beside my shoulder, sending sparks and fragments across the floor.

“Mommy!” Sera screamed beneath me, her small hands clutching my coat. “I'm here. Don't move.” Smoke was filling the corridor too quickly, thick black clouds swallowing the emergency lights while flames crawled from the utility section toward us.

I pulled my sleeve over Sera's mouth and lifted her into my arms. The main stai

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    35: The Cold Was Closing in

    The Cold Was Closing InRAYNAThe water pressure dropped again shortly after midnight. I was in the command room reviewing the latest fuel consumption figures when the maintenance supervisor rushed through the door, his expression immediately telling me that something had gone wrong. “Ma'am, we have another problem with the water system.”I put down the report. “What happened?”“The northern line is holding, but the pressure in the secondary distribution pipes has dropped. We've checked the connections twice but something is restricting the flow.”“Are you saying another pipe has frozen?”“We suspect so. The temperature has fallen considerably, and the insulation around some of the older connections may not be enough to withstand these conditions.”I stood and followed him toward the maintenance section. Lior was already there, speaking with two guards about the security arrangements. When he noticed me, he immediately ended the conversation and joined us.The supervisor brought up th

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    34: The Water We Could Not Waste

    The Water We Could Not WasteRAYNABy midday, the temperature inside the villa had stabilized, but the storm outside had become even more violent. Snow continued gathering against the walls, covering the lower sections of the windows and burying the pathways that connected the main building to the storage and utility areas.I had barely finished reviewing the revised fuel allocation when the security supervisor entered the command room. “Mrs. Rayna, maintenance has reported a problem with the water supply.”I looked up immediately. “What problem?”“The pressure has dropped in the outer sections. Two of the pipes are no longer responding, and the workers suspect they may have frozen.”I closed the fuel report. “Has the main water supply stopped?”“Not completely…..the inner sections are still receiving water, but the pressure is falling.”I stood. “Take me to the maintenance room.”Lior, who had been checking the security arrangements, followed us downstairs. The maintenance superviso

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    33: when The Heat Faltered

    RAYNAThe first warning came before sunrise. I was still in bed when the alarm from the command room sounded through the villa. It was not the usual security alert. This one was longer, sharper, and followed by the announcement that made my stomach tighten.“Thermal system warning….backup power has been activated.”I pushed the blankets aside and reached for my robe. Lior stirred beside me, already waking. “What happened?” he asked.“I don't know yet.”We hurried to the command room, the security supervisor was standing in front of the control panels, studying the readings. Several sections of the thermal grid were marked in yellow, while the main power supply showed that the system had switched to its backup source.“Explain,” I demanded.“The storm buried most of the solar panels overnight,” he replied. “The batteries were already carrying a heavy load, and the charge dropped below the required level and the generator has taken over.”I looked at the external temperature reading, it

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    32:A place For Everyone

    RAYNABy the time I entered the main hall the following morning, the villa was already awake. The kitchen staff were preparing breakfast, two guards were changing shifts near the entrance, and the maintenance team had gathered around a table covered with tools and repair lists. It was an ordinary scene, almost painfully ordinary considering the world outside.A few months earlier, most of these people had been strangers to one another. Now they shared meals, work, responsibilities, and the same uncertain future. We had survived the first disasters, but keeping a group of people alive through an endless winter required more than locked gates and full storerooms, it required cooperation.Leo approached with a notebook in his hand. “The department heads are waiting in the meeting room.”“Did something happen?”“No emergency. We finished the weekly reports, and there are a few things they want to discuss.”I followed him inside… Lior was already there, standing beside the large table. He

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    31: The Work Of Living

    RAYNAThe morning after Lior's return, I woke to the sound of Sera laughing. For a few seconds, I remained beneath the blankets, listening. Her laughter had become one of the few sounds I never grew tired of hearing. It reminded me that despite everything the world had taken from us, my daughter was still capable of being happy.I got out of bed, pulled on my warm clothes, and followed the sound downstairs. Lior was sitting on the floor beside her, helping her arrange the little wooden animals he had made. The wooden rabbit she had given him before his journey was sitting among them."Mommy!" Sera called when she noticed me. "Look! Daddy brought my rabbit back."I smiled, glancing at Lior. "I can see that.""He kept it safe," she added proudly."I made a promise," Lior replied, lifting the rabbit and placing it in her hands. "And I intend to keep every promise I make to you."Sera hugged it against her chest before returning to her toys. I watched them for a moment, feeling something

  • REBORN THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE ICE AGE APOCALYPSE    30: The Journey Home

    RAYNAI checked the clock for the third time in less than ten minutes. Lior had promised to contact me before beginning the return journey, but the radio remained silent. The communications supervisor stood beside me, monitoring the frequency while I studied the map spread across the table. The expedition had already travelled farther than any team from the villa since the temperature collapsed. Although they had gathered useful information, I wasn't interested in extending the journey simply to see how much farther they could go. I wanted them home.I picked up the radio and pressed the transmission button. "Lior, this is Rayna. Do you copy?"Static filled the room. I waited a few seconds before trying again. "Lior, report your position." His voice finally came through. "We're preparing to leave the junction now."I immediately straightened. "What's your assessment?""The road ahead is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate. There's a heavy accumulation of snow along the edges
