Raven Haired Boy (10k Love Story)

'The Rescue?'

"Okay, Me and Astrid, will go through the back door. Doc and Cassandra you take the front door, and Murphy...?" Warren looked around for Murphy he was lagging behind grumbling to himself.
Warren waited till Murphy could hear her "You think you could take care of yourself for 10 minutes or does someone have to baby sit you?".
"Ha ha ha very funny, if anybody needs me i will be in the truck, pft" he grunted. As he wondered off in the direction of the truck.

Warren and i crept to the back door it opened with a loud creek, no one was there. the oak floor boards were tinged with dark splattered fluids on them. broken glass was surrounded by the edge of the left wall where a picture frame unevenly hung from the wall, smashed. It featured a man with red hair and a soft smile, the woman filled the photo with laughter in-between the couple a young boy smiled brightly hugging the mans legs; he had the same smile as the woman. The photo captured a joyful moment before all the chaos. Calm before the storm. In this case the apocalypse.

We herd mumbling inaudible voices coming from above. We continued to the mouldy kitchen, i looked in the cupboards they were stocked with some tinned food; alphabet spaghetti, meatballs, corn, tuna and a small square of chocolate.

"there is somebody living here" I said to Warren as i nodded to the food. We walked down the long dusty hall our footsteps seemed to echo through the hall.

It was silent now. It was too quiet for my liking. Warren looked at me with worry. She motioned for me to go upstairs and she checked the other rooms down the stairs. As i took my first step up the stairs it creaked i stopped and looked up the stair no one was there, no one had heard me. When i finally got to the top of the stairs i entered the first room and find a horrid discovery...

A dead family. a child, mother and a father all covered in dried blood i felt sick, there decaying bodies filled the room with an unbearable stench. They have been murdered, no longer than a week ago. In their own home, they were surviving together. I quickly shut the door, trying to block out the thought, smell and image of this innocent family caught up in the madness of the world. A gun shot was fired it made me jump with freight snapping me back to reality.

I continued down the long dark hall, trying to block out pictures of the family on the walls ... My heart was racing, blood was rocketing to my head.

As i turned the corner a tall figure stood i stabbed my knife into them only to find....
It was tenthousand. I had stabbed 10k. He lay on the ground below me. Barely alive...
