               Me and my family lived on a farm in the middle of nowhere well not nowhere about fifteen miles south of the city. It always sucked getting to school, I'm sixteen I'll be seventeen in two months so I drive myself. I have a few friends not many I'm not popular people think I'm weird, I don't need them anyway my friends are amazing. People in my school call me and my family weird because of my dad and me we love to prepare for the apocalypse. I like being prepared, it kinda scares me for how prepared i am. When I was like six years old my dad would train me with swords mostly the katana, the bow staff, when I hit 10 he started training me with a crossbow,guns and a bow and arrow I still train. I have a dog he's a german shepard ,Bernard or B  that's his name it's German and means "Brave and Strong" he's about 2 years old.

               "Elyzabeth!" my dad would call when it's time for dinner. why not your mom some people would ask that's because she died last year another reason people don't talk to me. Again "why" is the most common asked question in my life, my mother died in the hotel that is known for the most suicides but she didn't die of suicide she was murdered. I never really knew why that made me weird it somehow just did. I love my friends to death, I have a little friend group I guess, only 7 people not including me. There's Emily Jennings,16, Jake Wilburn,17, Allison Jacobs,16, Isaac Wilburn Jakes fraternal twin,17, Lydia Niemeyer,16, Autumn Rozier my sister,18, Cooper Daniells,18. I have known all of my friends since I moved here, I moved here in freshmen year, i'm in Sophmore year now. They had there little friend group already, excluding Autumn and I, Autumn and Cooper started dating around a year ago, I think Coopers a nice guy. 

                It all happened when school ended and I was on my way home, the traffic had started and I barely made it out in time. When I hit the driveway is when it happened, it's when the bombs went off I heard them and I saw the explosions. I called our group chat they answered my call and we were talking worried about it. "Come to my house,GET HERE QUICK, me and my dad know what t......." was all I could tell them before the cell service cut out. I went to the house and my dad was outside building a wall around the house I started to help him. "Elyzabeth, get your sister and tell her to come help us build the wall"he demanded

"Dad she's not here but she's on her way I told her to come she's bring our friends to"I replied 

"Dammit she better hurry it up we need more than two people"

After 30 minutes dad and I had built about a third of the wall when Autumn showed up."Dad dad I'm sorry I should've been here quicker, we're building the wall now?"she said hurriedly. Dad just hugged her "It's alright I'm just glad your here and your safe that goes to all of you now lets build a wall." We finished the wall in about a hour and thirty minutes so we started reinforcing the wall making stronger.
