Stuck In the Unknown

Survivors Or Ghosts

Day 1 in this 'vicinity' isn't so appalling; the people here are friendly apart from the tough ones who look like they are going to confiscate your guts out from the mouth if you look at them leave alone talk to them. One of the guys has a large scar across his right eye and he keeps giving death glares at people. Another one doesn't ever smile and always has a frown from what I have been told, others just hold their weapons and look out in to the open area covered by thick forests and clouds. I guess they were like that because they were part of the security team or something just crawled up their rear.

Chris short for Christine, honey voice lady is also the medical lady here, she is a trained nurse who knows the basics; perfect for survival here. With her petite body, brown hair and kind face, she is easily approachable for help. If someone like scar-face was the medical person I would have preferred to die from wounds than to get injections from him. She is here with her husband who works in the security section.

Next person I run into is Casey, a little 7 year old girl full of live and I always smiling no matter what. I asked her earlier about her parents whereabouts and her smile did falter slightly but it didn't disappear, she said that her parents are in a superior place where they could look after in a better manner; meaning that they died. Her positive spirit is the one thing that inspires me to subsist here in the best way possible until I find a way out of here. She spent a couple of hours with me in the afternoon when she came to check on me. We talked about ourselves and how life was before all this happened. I found out that she has been here for about a year or more. I wonder how long I will be here.

So far those are the only people I truly know and have talked to. I prefer keeping to myself around strangers because you never know what they can do. After chats and lunch which was some herbal soup for better and faster healing, I return to my tent and decide to lie down a bit. I slept for solid three hours, I guess I really was exhausted from all these events. I wake up and try to familiarize with my surroundings. Realizing where I am, I get up to see where I can be of use.

"Hey Chris, do you guys need help with anything?"

"Even if we did, you're not doing anything, you need to rest!"

"I'm getting really bored and I can't sleep the entire day so please give me a tiny task, something not to hard thou!" I plea with big brown puppy eyes.

"Something tiny huh," she says as she taps her heading thinking, " okay how about for today you start up with cleaning duty with Casey?"

"What exactly am I cleaning, don't give me a pit to clean!" I say with wide eyes of refusal.

"Only yours and your savior's tent."

"Don't call him that, it sounds like in indebted to him or have a strong connection with him, which I don't!"

"Whatever gets you some sleep today," she implies with a wink to which I just huff away.

"Casey!" I yell while looking around for her.

"Ya Kim, I'm over here near the storeroom!"

"What are you doing here alone?" I inquire due to lack of humans near here.

Sometimes I wonder if I really did survive or if I'm a ghost living among others. I had come up with a phenomenon of my own. I first thought that when I awoke after fainting that I was surrounded by ghosts and had some supernatural power. Guess nature didn't love me that much so I had no powers. Eventually I think the post fainting effect wore out and I came back to my complete senses and realized that everyone around me including my own living self is a living breathing moving human.

"I was sitting here looking around because I was bored to tears!"

"Doesn't this little girl know how to exaggerate," I tap her nose as I say this, "how about you come and help me with cleaning duty, Chris said you would."
