A huge explosion just went off.. What exactly am I not getting? Where the fuck is everyone? I'm trying to get the TV to cooperate, but it's hard to get a signal. The entire building is shaking and I'm scared to even look outside. No new messages, no voicemails, not even a note saying he was leaving. This all feels like a fucking joke.

I hear someone trying to come in. I've never been this terrified in my entire life. I sit with the blanket over my head, hoping whatever got inside won't bother to check under it. All of a sudden, I hear E call my name.

"Sam! Where are you?", he yells.

I get up from the couch and run to him. He drops his bags and holds me tightly in his arms. "Why did you leave me here... what's going on?", I questioned him.

E tries to explain as well as he can, "I don't know what's happening or where anyone is. I went into town to get us some food. Everything is abandoned and very few places have electricity. It's mad out there, Sam.", he sighs.

We sit on my old, navy blue love seat, holding each other and thinking of where we can go. The food we have won't last us long and there aren't many places for us to go. I'm sure whoever else out there that is safe, is just as scared as we are.
