Trying to figure out the title and author of a short story / novel I read long ago (lemm.ee)

It was a post-apocalyptic story. The protagonist was a young teenage girl who comes out of some kind of a bomb shelter and has to deal with a world where almost everybody seems to have died. She was written as very bright and into martial arts I think. I seem to recall it was written in an odd style. Any ideas?

Luck of the draw! I'm happy that was it. Bonus - It was a novella and has since been expanded. So you get to experience it for the first time again.

That's awesome. I'm looking forward to it.

Nice website. I hadn't seen this before Even though it looks like it's been around since the 90s. That tag system nailed their description.

It is definitely a great resource.

Yeah, that's a new one for me, too. Looks really useful for those kinds of questions.
