Souls by the wayside

Chapter 6(Goose of truth💚)

Goose woke up that morning like any other. Goose looked around and picked up their apron and went downstairs. Goose helps Frisk and Chara safely go for a walk. Frisk gives Goose a picture of A flower and it's says "To Goose".

Goose walked Chara inside and gave Them chocolate milk to start the day. Goose walks to the Refrigerator door opens it gently and sees that it is completely empty."What happened to all of the Food?" Goose thought to themself. The feeling of hunger overwhelmed goose's thoughts. Goose packed some snacks in a small bag and went to go find food. They walked a long while but found nothing. Upon continuing the walk Goose found a city which was destroyed and in shambles support beams stuck out from every angle like stalagmites while glass littered the ground and with every step a loud crunch is heard. Goose was ever so slightly more disturbed than before but they had no intention of being afraid especially while every is running on a empty stomach.

Goose has a goal in mind and at the moment nothing can stop them from getting there. The city was large and wide the center of the city slowly became less cluttered and became far more...barren. The outer edges of the city were so densely packed like trying to keep something out and the center of the city only had ravaged cars and a couple of dry bloody puddles. "What happened here" Goose now thought. The hunger fed for their unending curiosity! Goose walked into open establishments and even closed and locked one Via a rock or lock picks.

As goose explored they found canned foods and moldy pastries. Anything useful they found they put in a bag. Uncooked ramen, Seasoning , canned foods, and even household appliances. Anything they could carry they brought. Goose stopped by a grocery store and loaded it up with renewable items and gardening stuff. As Goose was loading up everything the ground began to shake and move like a earthquake so Goose Ducked and protected their head from being in danger. Goose was in the front of the store and the windows were really cloudy except for one skylight. Goose looked up and something looked back. Like staring at the moon a yellow eye with a shadowy silhouette covered half of the sky light. goose hid underneath a conveyer belt and stayed very quiet until the silhouette disappeared and the ground quaking disappeared into the far off distance.

Goose stared outside and what look like a morphed Mermaid was running away leaving the ground soaked in water. Goose was scared So they went looking for a safer way to head home and a much more effective way to carry all of their items. They stare outside to a parking lot fully of cars. That can't work without gas or a key. Maybe a bike could work? Goose pushes their grocery cart to the bike section and find a big enough for goose to ride and big enough to carry the grocery car. They find a bike lock and tie the two together. They move all of the grocery into a larger tub and puts a lid on it then ties it down to to the grocery cart. "This will have to do For now" Goose thought proud of themself.

Goose stops by hardware section and picks up a crowbar and a Small hatchet. Goose knew why he needed the hatchet. "If you feel like your in danger assume that you are and always trust your gut" "if I I were to have two items during the apocalypse I would grab A hatchet and a Crowbar" goose's cousin would say endlessly. Goose's cousin would always talk about the end time and sci-fi movie crap from the 90's. Goose was never into it but he did always listen because Their cousin always had a point and realistically what they said may be helpful. Goose led the bike and grocery cart outside and continues quietly exploring the city and when they got back to the edge of city Goose saw it. A crate.

It was there before they remember glancing it but not mentioning it because they couldn't even open it ,but now it was worth a mention with the crowbar at hand. They shove the crowbar between the top of the lid and the crate itself. Then they gently pulled the long side of crowbar and pull it back as far as they could until the crates lid popped off and Goose was on the ground from the force. They stand up dust themself off and then look inside the box. It was not food.
