*bang* I heard myself drop to the floor and gasp for air. The world was dark and blurry, and it took a while to gain conscience back. A minute later I could breathe again, I opened my eyes and looked up at the monster and wondered why it surprisingly stopped suffocating me, until it closed its eyes. I knew it had... died but how? I got up shaking throughout my whole body and looked outside to see my neighbor with a gun sitting on the windowsill. The gun looked handmade, but I couldn’t figure out what he had used to make it. He put the gun down inside his apartment and looked at me, I was about to shout over at him so we could communicate, instead he signaled to me telling me to be quiet. He went back inside to grab something and came out with a notepad with the exact words of ‘Those things don’t die’. I didn’t understand what he was saying until I looked down to see the monster’s neck detach from its inhuman body and slither away. My attention drifted to the kids who still kept yelling uncontrollably for their dad, but I didn’t know how to quieten them. I hoped for reassurance from the guy that saved my life and realized that I probably was going to die. He had already written another message determining what I would decide on next ‘do you want to save the kids?’ I became stuck in a dilemma: ‘if I don’t save them they may starve to death or be killed by the monsters’ and ‘if I go save them I’ll be risking my own life and I could die along the way and then in the end they will still die’ God help me! Why do I suddenly want to fight? Why do I get the feeling that this life is worth living for? Why do I want to survive? Aren’t I the same person who was happy to die yesterday?
