chapter 1

i watched,the sun beaming down on my body,causing me to sweat as my grip on my shot gun loosened,i firmed up my grip as i watched the plains around me,as empty and dry as usual. I hear foot steps and look behind me,there stood my little sister,her body so skinny and frail looking,"hey sis." she said quietly as she shuffled over to me and then got down on her knees to sit,"yeah?" i asked as i looked back at the plains,there stood a sick looking figure,standing there and softly shook. I raised my gun up and aimed,i loaded it and shoot it,it made a loud pow noise which caused my sister to quickly cover her ears. I then froze as i watched it go down quickly,i still knew it wouldn't stay down,not until you shot the chest or the head,i groaned deeply and then looked at Leslie,"it's done now." i said after a short pause,Leslie pulled her hands away from her ears and then smiled,"i found a signal." i stared at her hard,not sure if she was messing with me due to the lack of enthusiasm in her voice,"what? How did you do that?" i quickly responded as i stood up,towering over her,she got up as well and then placed her hands on my rather broad shoulders,"i did,i was just messing with it when i got a sudden wave of high pitched beeping." i smiled,"ok,let's go and check it out,maybe i can decode it." she removed her hands and then frowns,"but you don't know how to code,or even decode much less." i sigh and roll my eyes after i shrugged,"how hard can it be?" she crossed her arms,"very hard." after heading down stairs we walked into the small,boarded up front room full of old furniture and dusty objects. The radio was rather big as it sat on a counter,a slight buzzing sound repeated from it quietly. I walked over to the radio and pulled up a dusty chair,i sat down and stared at it,"what are you doing?" my sister ask from behind me,"what does it look like i'm doing? I'm trying to decode." i heard a loud sigh and then footsteps,I studied the buzzing but came up short,my mind is blank,Leslie is right,i don't know how to decode,or even know what it is much less. I heard a loud shot,a gun,more then likely Leslie took my shift for now,but this shot lasted much longer and was faster then my shotgun. I gasp and quickly head up stairs,"LESLIE!?" i yelled as i ran.
