Runaway

Now

I pass by a run down bar, it's once blaring lights hanging from the signboard, I step inside, allowing my eyes to wander across the various, dingy tables, I glance at the front counter, the telephone wire hanging down towards the floor. The dim lights of the bar glare down at me, my eye twitches.

As I walk the streets, one thought fills my mind. Lily. Would she be alright? Would she be *alive*? I also think about Harrison, my face contorting as I try to clear my mind. The cobble crunches against my boots, rubble breaking like snow on Christmas day. Sam floats beside me, silence engulfing in the atmosphere.

"Will Lily be gone forever?" Sam spoke, breaking the silence
"I don't know Sam..." I reply, swiftly, doing my best to avoid conversation.
"Based on your body language and general manner you are feeling sad, Would you like some comfort?"
"No, you can't help me Sam"
"Of course I can, just tell me where it hurts and I will bandage it"
There's Sam, the same naive bot. he's always been like this though, and I love him for it.

The path is silent, the sun resting on the horizon. My head hangs down as the realisation sets in. What if lily was right? What if there really is no sanctuary? No... that's silly... of course theres *something* left... right?

It's been 3 hours.

The gleaming sun now rests in the sky, my mind still wild trying to calm down, suddenly, something catches my eye, a towering wall standing valiantly like a Knight, my eyes widen. Sanctuary? I step towards the beastly structure, taking in the atmosphere.
