Darla is one of the two main characters in the Ashfall Trilogy. She isn't introduced right away, but a few chapters into the first book. She isn't exactly thrilled to see Alex, the other main character, when he appears at her farm. Actually, she comes off as having a belligerent attitude toward pretty much everyone. But, only at first. She eventually warms up to Alex, which is good or it wouldn't have been much of a story! In any case, this short story offers the explanation for her mood at that point.These few chapters run concurrent with the first few chapters of Ashfall, during the initial phase of the eruption. If you haven't read Ashfall yet, you can read this first, or go back and read it after. Since the 1st book and this short story are telling of the same event from two different places, it doesn't matter which you read first. But, make sure you do read them, or you'll be missing out on a really good Trilogy! Highly recommended!
