A Man In A Beasts World

Chapter 27

(Chris p.o.v)

-A smell hit my nostrils as my eyes began to flutter open-

Chris:"H-Huh?" -I sit up looking around tiredly-

-Looking around the room it was empty as usual, apart from the lights being on I guessed it was day time-

-But I continued to search for the pleasant smell my eyes landing on a tray at my bedside-

"Eggs and bacon!?" -My eyes widen as I sit up faster, suddenly wincing as I clutch my side-

Chris:"FUCK!, forgot about that!" -A groan escaped me-

-My chest felt alot better since yesterday but bruising and still mending ribs I would have to be careful-

-Taking in a breath I felt the pain numb again-

"At least they aren't feeding me dogshit and piss" -I think picking up the glass of water-

-I give one smell of it making sure..., there didn't seem to be anything off with it...-

-Taking a sip I felt the cold liquid travel down my parched throat-

-Nothing being wrong with it I take another big swig before placing it down going straight for the breakfast-

-Picking up a slice of bacon I pop it in my mouth chewing, my eyes lit up as the flavour showered my mouth-

"This is so good what the fuck!?" -I think to myself taking another one and putting it in my mouth-

-Moving on to one of the eggs I raise an eyebrow-

"There's no chicken Anthros right?..." -I look at the egg with worry-

-To be fair to be the size of a normal chicken-

"Have I ever seen a chicken Anthro?" -I think biting my tongue for a moment-

"........."

-The smell of the food only seemed to draw me in more and more-

Chris:"Nahhh...." -I scoot forward grabbing the plate-

-Placing it on my lap I grab the fork and knife cutting into it-

-Taking a bite of the egg the warm meal hit me deep-

"Damn that's pretty good!" -I think cutting another piece-

"How long has it been since I've had a proper hot meal?"

-Living in the snowy mountains for so long left little room for proper meals-

-Lots and lots of rationing had to take place to avoid unnecessary looting.....-

-Flash back four years ago-

Jack:"Alright Chris you got this right?" -Jack places his hands on my shoulder-

-Adjusting my tactical vest I let out a sigh.., it had many pouches for carrying space but allowed efficient movement still-

Chris:"Yeah Jack no problem...." -I gulp out-

-It was loot day..., getting food was absolutely necessary for our survival, but recently it was getting tougher and tougher-

Jack:"You loot southwest of here, do not further then the town I've marked on your map alright?" -He demands-
