Bookshelf Battle

It’s coming soon.  I can’t say within how many chapters but definitely within this part of the story.

I’m debating what exactly will happen.  There will be a fight for survival that will take up a large part of the book.

As a reader, can you handle two separate groups of survivors?  I’m stuck on whether to have everyone relevant together in one place when it happens or have two groups trapped within town each trying to fight their way out.

As a writer I’m against it because I fear that means each group has to figure out what’s happening and will need to be educated twice which will be redundant for the reader.  I suppose if I think about it there may be some way around it.

What I’m thinking though is maybe Miss Bonnie either ends up fighting alone or with a group separate from Slade.  I feel like that’d be a good chance for her to shine a bit and if not the alternative is she and Sarah get stuck within one big group, end up catfighting over Slade, could be funny or could be lame depending on how thats handled.
