I want a quick read that is less than 300 pages if possible, I want it to have some sense of tragedy perhaps a post apocalyptic story however I do not want simple writing such as "I survived an attack, I shot him in the head and blood flew everywhere" as pointless frequent violence in a book is unnecessary and unwanted. In short I would like a post apocalyptic story that is short, well-written and is not pointless violence with no goal.
