Running from the mess

Chapter 1- It's all lost

Tommy and his grandfather were both playing in their garden
"Grandpa throw the ball!" Tommy said
"Easy chum. Your grandpa ain't 20 no more." Said His Grandfather
"But pass the ball!" Tommy whinned
"Heh, Kids like you should never grow up!" His grandfather said
"Let's go inside now, I'm feeling poofyy." Said Tommy
"Poofy? You kids no more English than I ever could learn, And very weird English" said his grandfather in wonder.
As soon as they went inside his grandfather switched on the TV, The TV news was heartbreaking, It said that the country was now going in war with another country due to heavy civil conflict. Each country was battling to gain land. It seemed that everyone now has to be evacuated from the area. But before details were known the signal cut off.
Grandpa was extremely worried, He suddenly felt a huge thumb in his heart. What would he do to survive? He immediately thought that he should seek military health, And there was a base camp soon after crossing the lake, If he didn't reach there on time with Tommy there was a good chance they would never get evacuated.
"Grab your packs Tommy, It's time to move, Take everything that's needed and let's move out of here." Grandpa said
"But whyy, I want to eat my foood." Tommy said with a long face.
Listen to me Tommy there is something really nasty going on around here, I need you to follow some rules alright?" Grandpa said
"BUT I HATE RULESS" Tommy said
"Me too, But sometimes you need them to live, I need you to stick with me like a magnet, And don't do anything without my permission ok? I promise when we are out of this you can do whatever you want!" Grandpa said.
"Alright, I'll eat some peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches once we are done, And make Tim teddy eat some too ok Tim teddy?" Tommy said with a happy face while Grandpa packed some equipment.
Grandpa took some food, clothes, water, food and a revolver he used to have with a couple of bullets in case of emergency and passports, documents and money.
Soon after both of them left the house and everything there was in it.
"We are going to come back right? I can't leave all my stuff like that and all my friends!" (By friends Tommy meant his stuffed toys)
"Maybe, I, I don't know" Grandpa took Tommy's hand in his hand and slightly smiled to him.
"It's going to be alright little chum" Grandapa said in a worrying way.

Together they trekked across the hilly and green area of Thompson Lake saying goodbye to everything they knew and loved, They both sat in a boat and crossed the lake
"Well, Say your final goodbye to everything, Once we cross this place we are out of our safe zone" Grandpa Said
"Bye bye lake, Bye bye flower, Bye bye tree, By bye sun" Tommy said
"Tommy the sun is going to remain with us,  It's a universal truth" Grandpa explained
"What does universal mean?" Tommy asked

They then crossed the river and left their homes behind and ran into the wild. Soldiers could come any time, And there was no sign of help to be found. It was survival or death.
