Short Story

Humans

( about the parents)

I had been following the humans for days now, they would stop every so often to eat, or sleep, or for the woman to vomit. I thought she was sick, she looked sick, but she didnt smell sick. Her stomach was swollen, probally from the radiation, and she was always very pale. They would stop and sleep next to the ruins of houses. Now they were inside what was once an old mall. The woman, who i learned was Evlyn, was inside one of the bathrooms. The tall man, who i learned was called Ezrah, stood outside peeking in the door before speaking. "Hey, um, are you ok?" A sweet sounding voice responded from inside. "Yah, just nauseous again." The man slowly stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. I couldn't hear them anymore so i stepped closer, leaving my spot from around the corner and walkingover to and leaning against the door to hear them. Ezrahs deep voice seeped through the space beneath the door but i couldnt understand the words. I layed down on the floor and peeked under the door right as the man nelt down next to the woman. With her hands on her swollen stomach Evlyn started to cry and Ezrah sat there silently, why wasnt he comforting her? Suddenly the man lept up and held out a hand to the woman. "C'mon" Evlyn placed her hand on his but she didnt stand up. "What, why? Where are you going?" "We are almost to our destination,actually were practically threre." Evlyn sat still for a moment before standing up. I ran back into the shadown hopeing they didnt hear me. I made it around the corner just as the bathroom door slowly slid open and the humans stepped outside. They started walking down the long corrider, i followed behind them, keeping to the shadows. Most of the walls were long gone and the ones that still stood were decayed and covered in plant growth. The woman was looking around, her eyes most likley scanning the now emty ruins before she spoke. "Do you everwonder what it was like?""Huh?" The man glanced at the woman but they kept walking, almost to the exit. "Do you ever wonder what it was like before, before the nukes, before the radiation, before when places like these were full of people and clothes and food." The man stayed silent, glancing arround the corrider, walking slightly faster torwards the opening that had oncebeen large glass doors, did he know i was here? As soon as the humans stepped through the large opening they looked around before walking across the parking lot torwards the tall grey wall. I hated that wall. The humans spoke of that wall like it was the best thing to ever happen, but it wasnt. They say the wall meant saftey, and security, but all i know is those who enter, never leave, and those that do , either get hunted down or die. I hid behind a scrap pile when the humans stopped walking. The woman stopped and stared up at the solid steel hovering 20 meters above them. "Are we going in there?" she asked, her voice shaking slightly. "Yes, were going there, in there nothing will harm our child, Evlyn this is the 'safest' place in the world." It wasnt safe, did these humans really think that, how could they, have they not hears the stories, surley they had, right? The man stopped and grabbed both of the womans hands and held them to his chest. "If were going to have a baby than im makeing sure nothing badwill happen to it. Weve been walking for weeks to get here, and we cant turn back now." The woman ssat silently glancing between the man and the wall."Are you sure, youve heard the rumors about this place right, what if they're true?" The man squeezed the womans hands. "There just rumors, why would people still go if it was dangerous?" its not just rumors, how are these humans so dumb. "Than lets do this."Evlyn stated before facing the wall once again. The humans than started approaching the large iron gate as it slowly started to open, the only way in and the only way out. Dontgo in there, i wish i could warn them. The man wrapped an arm around the womans shoulder as they walked through the gate. The large iron door slammed shut behind them. They shouldnt have gone in there, They have no idea what they are getting themselves into.

So I had to retype it so grammar sucks and all that but this short story is about the charecters parents... The (baby) is Emarie (who is the charecter) please let me know what you thinks good or bad. I will at some point go through and fix all the grammer butuntil them please ignore the various spelling and punctuaition mistakes.
