Caroline, that's who I am, that's who I always will be, just normal, quiet, secluded Caroline Winters.

I've always been alone, since the day I was born, and probably to the day I die. My mother was never really involved in my life, she had me at 18, with my father who was 30. She wanted to go out partying, and she did, my father had no control over her actions. My father himself never really did much with me, he just drank. Drink, sleep, shout at my mother, repeat, that was our routine, I was in bed before he shouted at my mother when she got home, sometimes I would wake up to the familiar noise of screaming about divorce, or about our money issues, we weren't poor, but we had just enough for groceries and rent each month.

When I got to middle school, I was alone there too, I used to skip my maths and geography lessons most of the time. The lesson I would show up every time for was music, music was my life, I had learned to play the guitar at age 6, when my grandma had gifted me my father's old electric guitar that she couldn't stand seeing in her house anymore.

I didn't spend much time in middle school before the end of the world started, I was 12, on that day I had gone into my music lesson in the morning, after that I went into the girls bathroom to skip maths, I looked the door as per usual, and that's when I heard screaming, the smell that emitted from the corridors under the bathroom door was rancid.

I hid for a total of 4 hours before I couldn't hear anything outside the door. After that, i inched the door open, just a tiny bit. Blood and guts covered the dusty floor, kids and teachers layed on the floor with empty stomachs (literally), their internal organs spilling from the sides of their scratched, torn skin.

After that, I was alone again.
