Awakening In The Silence

Chapter 1

I finally left the hospital, after getting lost multiple times trying to leave it was nice. Still wearing the very uncomfortable hospital gown and using a blanket to keep myself covered I cautiously walked away from the hospital and onto the streets of the semi destroyed city was calming. While walking through the empty streets of the city I yelp loudly in pain lifting my foot slightly; noticing a small shard of glass. Whimpering in fear I slowly pull the shard from my foot, "God damn this is painful and disgusting." I groan in disgust while throwing the shard of glass to the side, looking around I noticed an abandoned mall.

I quickly walk inside and smile seeing all the stores even though they're all run down and destroyed, it gave me some much needed nostalgia. I Laugh to myself as I happily run through the mall looking for clothes, finally seeing a clothing store I stop running and jog inside the store. Scavenging around the abandoned store wasn't easy, since so much of the clothes and shelves were knocked down and taken. I huff slightly annoyed finding only finding three shirts that were slightly worn down by time.

After a few minutes of searching, I finally found a few pairs of pants, some shoes, and a good amount of undergarments. I smiled to myself while looking at the pile of clothes I found, but the sound of bottles and buckets being knocked to the ground made me freeze up and my heart beat quickened. Slowly getting up from the ground leaving the pile of clothes I had collected next to me neatly folded.
Cautiously walking out of the clothing store and towards the continuous sounds of fallen bottles being moved around.

I stopped in front of a small restaurant and walked inside, "Hello, Is anyone here?" I called out feeling unsure. The sudden fall of a shelf makes me turn around in fear, only to see a small baby orangutan backing away and letting out a small sound of fear. My eyes soften as I let out a sigh of relief; I gently kneel down towards the baby orangutan "Hey, there little one. Where's your mom?" I ask staying still as to not scare the poor thing even more.

Gladly the baby orangutan softly hooting as it happily walked over towards me with his arms stretched outwards. The second I do the same thing, he immediately latches onto my chest softly cooing. I smile as I wrap my arms around him slowly getting up from the ground. "I guess you and I are both lost. But not anymore I found you and you found me; I'll do my best in taking care of you." I say sweetly while leaving the small restaurant heading back to the clothing store humming a song for the baby orangutan.
