The sheets smelled disgusting. They were dirtier then mud yet seemed to comfort Cole. He was currently in a emergency hurricane shelter. Cole had lost most of his belongings in this. The shelter was full of people from all different backgrounds. There was a group of people in the corner praying powerfully to their God. Some people were trying to comfort young children as they were screaming begging for their homes and toys back. Hidden in the corner was a frail, old man. Probably around 75 years old. But who knows, maybe he just looked old for his age.
The old man appeared sad. Cole wandered over to him cautiously. "Hello, Sir - How are you?" Cole asked expecting a response. Yet, the old man just stared at him. He opened his mouth to speak and out came an extremely raspy voice. "Up the revolution." He said.
Right as Cole was about to ask what he meant, a fight broke out in the middle of the shelter. Two men were fighting over a lost cause, more and more men started to join in throwing fists. People started to bleed. The fight expanded and more spectators were becoming nervous. Finally, a few people managed to break it up. Peace was returned.
The result of the fight was several bloody men with br9ken noses and broken knuckles. A fighter started to stroll up to Cole. Who immediately started to back away for his own safety.
"My names Brick." Said the stranger
"Errr... Cole." Cole said
"So, why weren't you fighting?"
"I don't know, I didn't want to get involved, I didn't know what it was about."
"Do you not support the revolution?" Brick asked.
"That's funny, the old man over there mentioned it but that's the only time I've heard about it." Cole replied
"Suit yourself." Brick said and started to walk away.
"Wait, wait, can you explain the revolution? Who's in it? Who's it against?" Cole desperately asked
"If you don't know already, you shouldn't know." The strange man finally walked away and went to talk to a friend.
How could Cole not be involved? He want to find the old man again for answers but he was no where to be found. Maybe it was time to let this revolution go. Nobody seemed to want to tell Cole about it. He'd just have to give up or find some answers himself..
