BANG.

"Lucy honey wake up."

BANG.

"Oh my goodness. Its gonna break in!"

BANG.

"Get the kids!"

'the store is now closed. Please exit the building.'

BANG.

"Hurry!"

BANG.

.....

' the store is now closed. Please exit the building.'

"Paul No!!"

The monster grabbed Paul by the neck and squeezed till his head popped off and blood sprayed the room.

"AH!"

I quickly grabbed my spear up and ran up to the monster, stabbing it through the chest.

It went down for a moment but was still twitching.

"Hurry let's get out of here!"

Just as I said that the lights flicked back on.

I sighed in releaf.

Lucy was sobbing over her husband's body.

I felt horrible.
Coal was crying as well.

I held Max close and didn't let him look the way where Paul was.

I couldn't cry even if i wanted to.
I already cried to much when I first got here.

We had to leave that base and find a new one.

We all carried backpacks, except for Max, who only carried his dog and a unpeeled lemon.

We carried the supplies nessery for our search.

I finished off the monster and  took my spear with me.

"We should be good to stay here for the night. Come on."

Coal had found a shelter that was built at the top of the shelves. It was very high up.

I moved the ladder away from the edge.

Max was sitting way to close to the edge for my comfort.

"Come here buddy. You don't want to fall do you?"

He shook his head and ran over to me, allowing me to pick him up on my lap.

The lights flicked off.

I wrapped max in a sheet from one of the beds and held him in my arms while I sat up agenst a box.

Coal sat down next to me while Lucy slept.

Poor Lucy, I don't know what it must be like to have your loved one murdered in front of you and have to go along with your day.

"I'm sorry."

That was all I could think to say at the moment.

"It wasn't your fault. Things just happen... You have to expect it when you live in this shit hole."

I closed my eyes and leaned my head back.
I've never heard him swear before.

"Everything is going to be okay."

I heard him scoff.

I ran my fingers through Maxes hair while he slept in my lap.

"You'll see."
