A South Carolina Sky

chapter 7

Neil

Over my years there was only one thing I did every day I went for a walk around the the the sun set. Usually I don't even bother leaving my apartment till my walk because I have almost no use in going outside the world since the war scared me a little and it had changed so  much since my human days but today I put on a black hoodie and jeans and decided to go to a different Park this had been a newer park only built in the last hundred years or so I didn't really keep up with this stuff anymore it was away full of children and I'd never went in.

But today felt right .

I keep my head low as I walk towards the park so no one will see the monster I am I look no different then them but my skin is paler  and I simply don't want them to think I am a monster so it's easier to hide. I walk in the park but I smell something something amazing something I hadn't smelled in more than 200 years or should I say someone but I had to be wrong everyone I knew was dead  and had been for a long time but it was her it had to be Molly?  But she was dead she had to be. I looked around sniffing around till I found a little old lady setting there she was wearing an old blue dress with small roses on it. It looked hand stitch nothing now a days was hand stitch anymore I'd swear that was Roses stitching Id know it anywhere her hair was gray and up in a tight bun  "Molly?" I look at this lady  she looked up
"Michael?" Her face looked like Molly to.
She looked around then  suddenly I was  looking at young molly again the one I knew "your alive?!" We both said at the same time I set next to her if my heart could still bent I'd be having a heart attack right now.
"Michael we thought you  where did everyone did"
"I am I mean I'm not but I am " I sigh

"I see " she looked over at a young boy running over and she turns back to an old lady she looks at me "you need to go I'll tell rose your alive " I looked at her shocked Rose was alive ?
