"Get up!"
"Get out of this fucking room now." She says in a quiet but tense tone.
"Do you wanna get shot?"
"If it gets me away from you." She exclaims sarcastically.
"Wow. Funny." He says with a straight face. "Its time to work. Get. Up" She stares into his eyes hoping he would give up and leave. Its no good. He doesnt move his position.
"God. Fine." She throws the covers off of her body and onto the other side of the bed, revealing her tank top and boxers as pajamas. The man rolls his eyes and walks off while reminding her, "Dont be late."After she got dressed she went down the stairs and looked for the man. "Where am I meant to go?" She shouts out, expecting him to hear. No answer. "Hello?" No answer. "Fucking dick."
Great. What the fuck do I do now? She looks out the window inbetween the blinds. There was a massive line of people with officers facing them.
After she changed, Eleanor swiftly opened the front door and jogged towards them, joining in the middle of the line inbetween two strangers.
"Now its buisness as usual. Get burnin as usual, sewer work or whatever you chose." Shit, I missed it. She turned to a woman to her right.
"Whats goin on?" The lady scoffed.
"Funny." Eleanore stared at her in confusion while the lady glared at her with suspicious eyes. "You're not kiddin?" She shook her head at the woman.
"Got here yesterday."
"Ah, shit. Right." The line was dissapearing into a seperating crowd as people walked in all different directions while her and the woman stood there. "We all got jobs to do. You get to choose, some pay more though. I dont reccomend you do the sewer jobs-"
"Hey! What're you two doin?" An officer yelled at them. "Go! Now!"
Eleanore rolled her eyes and began to turn around just as the officer grabbed her by the arm and pulled her towards him."Dont you roll your fuckin eyes at me, girl." While she tries to pull away the woman next to her begins to protest.
"Hey what the fuck man, let her go shes new!"
He squints his eyes at the both of them and lets go of his tight grip.
"Walk away now." And they do."They're like that here."
"Yeah, I gathered." Eleanore walks beside her.
"Tess. Names Tess."
"Eleanore." They smile at eachother. "Its nice to meet someone friendly in here for a change.
"Yeah, its kinda rare here." She lets out a small laugh. "Here." Tess says while pointing towards a big fire with people surrounding it, throwing bodies into it.
"Shit." Eleanore stands still and observes. "All infected?"
"Yep." She sighs a little. "But trust me, its better than shovelling shit all day."
"Gross.""Put this on." Tess hands her a scarf to wrap around her mouth and nose. "We get em from these trucks and just throw them in."
Eleanore wraps the scarf around her then heads to the truck and pulls out a body. She groans as the weight of it pulls her down a little. She slowly makes her way to the fire and throws it in.
"Not bad."
"Hey, Tess." Eleanore's alerted by a familiar voice. Her head turns to the direction of the man and recognises hin instantly even with the scarf wrapped around his face. That fuckwad.
"Joel, thought youd be digging today."
"Nah, not today." His eyes go from looking at Tess, to looking at Eleanore's. He squints, not in a way of trying to see better, more in a way of trying to challenge her. She scoffs and turns away to grab another body.Tess notices Joel's glare.
"Whats that all about?" He looks to Tess again.
"Gotta share a house with her." He grabs a body from the truck and effortlessly carries it and throws it into the pile. "Shes got a bad attitude, Tess." She lets out a small laugh.
"Yeah well its kinda funny." Joel looks at her unimpressed by this.
"Yeah, very." He states sarcastically.
"Just be nice to her, dude." He rolls his eyes at her.Eleanore brings the second body to the pile and lets out a struggled groan as she throws it into the fire.
"Eleanore," Tess announces. "this is Joel. Youve already met him but uh-"
"Yeah. Already met him. Dont need to meet him again." She says as she walks away to get yet another body.
"What'd I tell ya? Bad. Attitude."
"I can still hear you, fuckwad." She flips him off while still walking in the opposite direction. Tess lets out a laugh.
"I like her."
