Blake's Demented December

16th of December - Willow

It had been days since the cabin incident. Blake had found a town called Willow and he has been staying there for a few days. Turns out there was no one there. The town was abandoned. There was no power except there were shops, salons, cinemas and cafes. Everything you'd expect a town to have, it has. 

Everything was left un touched. All the food was still stocked on the shelves and peoples trolleys were still next to the isles full of food. The frozen aisles were all rotten. No electricity. It was as if the people just disappeared. He lived in the shop. The shop had everything he needed to survive other than the fact that most of the food was out of date.

Blake had been living in the corner of the shop for a few days now and the whole time he has been getting the feeling he's being watched. He brushed the feeling off because of recent events but the feeling daunted him. He has had dreams every night about Adrien. In these dreams, Blake could make out that Adrien was warning him of something but he couldn't tell what it was about. Because it was a dream, He too brushed it off. He had also realised there was no fresh running water so he's have to live off of bottled water.

Blake really liked this abandoned town because there was a Willow tree nearby. He feels safe around the willow tree. He feels connected to it. The tree lays next to the lake it all happened.

Earlier on, Blake had gone around the whole shop and checked for the food that are still in date, he threw everything that was in date and took them in trolleys to his base, upstairs of the shop there was a furniture section. He had made a base with anything and every useful piece of furniture and by now, he had a nice and cosy den. He had put all of the sofas and all the beds to make walls and had used all the quilts to make a soft floor, sheets that hung from the furniture and it made the place look nice. All of this surrounded the nicest and softest bed in the building and that is where he stayed. In the corner of the base, there was a neat pile of in-dated food and endless bottles of water. It wasn't home but it would have to do.

He decided to make it as homely as possible because he was convinced he would have to stay there till he runs out of food and dies.

It was early in the morning, The  16th of December. He wasn't aware of the dates by now. He had lost count after being in that basement. He had decided to go out to the Willow tree. He grabbed some food that was still in date and left. First, he went over to the clothes aisle to find a new, comfortable but stylish outfit. 

He set off back to the lake where it all happened and decided to sit under the willow tree and look off into the distance. It was a nice view of the lake if half of the forest wasn't burnt down and it wasn't so foggy. He could tell that the fire was gone by now and he decided to go over to the house to mourn Adrien.

After a few minutes of walking through the cold and over the dead leaves of the forest, he smelt the burn. There was a line across the floor. A black line that separated his world with the world below (hell). he stepped over the black line and was now walking through ash and dust. All the trees around him didn't have any branches anymore, in fact there were barely any trees at all. All that was left of the trees were just sharp black stumps. 

He had noticed a path. A really long path that seemed to go to a wailing road. But the problem is, there was no house. Just Pat's car, he hasn't gone far.  Also, there was a pile of black crisped wood and police tape around a little area near the house. Blake went there first. There was nothing there other than a patch of blood and a hoop of keys with the key chain 'fuck the patriarchy' on the floor. There was a car key, a house key, the cabin key and another key on there. Did Pat die? Blake thought to himself. If so, how? he thought.

He walked over to the remains of the house. There was no sign of Adrien's body, did it burn? if so, where are the bones? Has him bones been burnt to ashes too? Blake now had nothing to remember Adrien from.
