Day 31: Stay quiet

This final day is based off of the movie, A Quiet Place.

Silence is all that filled the air. No form of sound besides natural ones like rivers or streams running. Everything was so quiet, no cars running, nobody talking or living life normally.

Anything after this occurrence of this creature, nothing had been the same anymore. Any form of sound and you are dead. Screaming, speaking, dropping something, even breathing if you're too close to this creature.

This small group of four stayed together, worked together, lived together. They all didn't care whose enemy was who but all they knew was they had to stick together and be as quiet as possible if they wanted to live.

Two of the four were carefully grabbing food. One being a prince with a golden crown and the other having a target shaped soul.

They may not be able to speak with their mouths but they signed to one another as they knew that was all they could do for speaking to one another.

The other two were inside, being careful with their steps as they walked. They were in the basement, making sure they had the things they wanted before making their trip outward, seeking if there was a place to escape this massive creature.

The light boned and dark grayed sweatered skeleton, carefully placed his hands on the desk, looking at all of the papers they had.

The darker, gooper skeleton brushed a hand against Cross's cheek to get his attention. 'Feeling okay? Nervous?' He signed.

Cross gently looked at the other and replied, signing, 'Yeah, just stressed. Well, that and scared that the creature will get us while we make our way out and about.'

'I know this will be difficult, at least we all have our hearing so we can hear noises if we need to,' Nightmare signed with a gentle gaze on one of his boyfriends. 'We'll find a place, maybe even sail off and find an island where there isn't a creature like this.'

Cross looked down as tears pricked the corners of his sockets. The other pulled him into a gentle hug as comfort. They couldn't say anything, they could just do simple actions such as hug, cuddle, and so on and so forth.

It was bound to affect them, somehow, some way. This had been going on for the past two and a half years. They were surprised they lasted this long but nonetheless, they still had to keep guard and survive. You can't let your guard down, not for a single second.

All of this was so much, was there even an escape to this other than death itself?

Bags packed and the four of them settled off onto their journey of trying to escape. They walked through town to grab other stuff like medications and any other medical things.

Once they did so, they continued till they reached a doc that had a boat large enough for all of them and their bags. It wasn't super big but just enough for them to fit in it.

They carefully got in, set their bags down and slowly pushed off of shore. They grabbed some paddles and carefully began moving the boat toward a direction they thought there might be an island or a form of land that this creature wasn't on but probably wasn't possible.

They eventually reached an island. There was much noise. So much noise. They all were shocked. They carefully got onto shore and got out of the boat, grabbed their things and walked into the island.

They immediately saw a little town, people sitting outside, laughing and talking, a campfire out and it crackling.

'Is this a dream or actually real?' Cross signed to Nightmare. 'Should we even speak?'

Nightmare thought for a moment before whispering, "If they all can talk and laugh as loud as they are, we probably are alright, but still take caution."

The other three nodded and approached the town. This was a new beginning, a new beginning for the better. Hopefully it stays this way so they can all enjoy life together without having to worry and their minds being so foggy with heavy anxiety each and every day.

This was a big change but a big change for the better, hopefully it'll stay like this for a very, very long time.
