She looked around, maybe she'd find a bath house or something. She really needed to take a shower, she could smell the sweat on her. It made her gag. In her pocket her phone buzzed.
"Ugh, I told that bitch to stop calling me." She stared at the glowing screen, waiting for the vibrations to stop. Soon enough, he called again. She groaned.
"What?!" She yelled into the speaker. "Now, now, Nettle. That's no way to talk to your father." He tisked. She bit her lower lip and held back a scream.
"I just wanted to check up on you, seeing how things are nowadays." His voice was muffled a bit, clearly holding the phone away from to him. "I'm fine."
"That's good to hear. I've been doing great here."
"That's only because you're not in a quarantined area."
He sighed. "Now, now, don't be sour. Even if where you are is blocked off, doesn't mean others aren't struggling. These things are all over the world. There are even a few here."
"Yeah, a few." She mumbled. "And didn't I tell you to stop calling me?"
"If you're so upset about it, then block my number." She groaned. "Too much work."
"As for someone so lazy, I'm surprised you've lasted for so lo—" she hung up before he could finish talking. God, this man annoyed her.
Stretching her arms up to hear a satisfying snap from her elbow, she looked around to see if she could spot any nearby houses. If not she'd bathe in a pond or river. Anything would work.
She looked around for one last time, before setting off towards a street she thought she saw houses on earlier. Maybe she'd find someone who was still living there, or food that wasn't shit for her body.
