" Chapter 5 ~ "

Damn sam what - what's wrong oh nothing was thinking we should have got a radio too. know shit that would be nice right about now" yeah I know right, maybe when we go back into town we can pick up one." sounds good to me" put it down on the list will you so we don't forget.

ok you got it and maybe put down one of those little refrigerators to  girl that city has spoiled you I see know well maybe a little bit I giggled it is nice to have a cold soda sometimes oh yes I have not had one of those in a long time well a refrigerator it is we laugh, well let me get back to these lights shit. before it starts to rain on me, I walked around the house putting up the lights

and I looked down and saw a weird footprint and I looked at the wall with shock sam-sam come see fast please what is it did you think of something else for the list know you have to come see this, please ok I'm coming right now do you see what I see  lord yes I wonder what is it do you believe me now that I been hearing something out here at night.

cuz I have not ever doubted you the first time look at those marks on the wall where it is been scratching like trying to get in. look how deep they are, wow I see that we gone to have to show my papa whenever he gets a chance to come around yes first thing for sure. I need to go to the shed and get the hammer and nails and some long screws with some steel  square shape braces and some 2 x 4's  for what on earth you need that for

girl, I know it will be back because it has been every night since I got here, so I'm gone to tufting up the windows and doors because I'm not taking any chances at all. I hear you and know wonder you been so scared over here by yourself yes I know I been trying to tell uncle but he doesn't listen he makes fun of me.

but now I can show him, yes you can come on lets hurry please and finish these lights and start up the generator, so I can work on the inside to tufting up the windows and stuff ok let us get to it are do you want me to finish up out here and you start inside yes I guess we can do that because you have only two left to put up and it is getting late.

and soon as you are done start up the generator ok  will do this won't take me long ok see you in a little because I will need some help in there ok see you in a little bit I closed the shutter on the windows  and started to screw in the square braces on each side of the windows, on the top and bottom hey what do you want me to do come grab some of these braces and screws please,

and do the other windows like this one that I'm doing ok what is this for I will show you when I'm done on this one all most there. ok let me get started then hey sam look at this window so you now know what the stuff was needed for see you close the shutters and pass the 2 x 4 though the squares to secure the windows oh wow something I would have never thought of cool,

yes just hope it will be strong enough that's why I double it up, I'm gone to do the door the same way now to make it strong also. sounds good to me and cuz to tell you the truth now I'm kinda scared I know sam me to - me to and I'm so happy that you are here with me, because two guns is better than one we giggle a little as we were trying to shake off some of our fears.

I'm glad I'm here too cuz because I really did miss you when you were gone, I had known one to hang out with anymore since you have left." aww I'm sorry sam I didn't know guess I was so to myself and wanted to get away, and I should be ashamed of myself for leaving and only thought about myself I'm so sorry sam please forgive me.

Carla know reason to be a shame and I'm not mad at you hell look at yourself you grew up you, knew what you want to do in your life and you went after it while some of us stayed behind, because we were too afraid to leave hell I'm proud of you and your papa was very proud of you too, so don't be a shame for going out and get what you wanted.

aww sam thank you that means a lot to me for sure coming from you because I thought you would be mad at me for leaving I was for a little but I got over it guess I was jealous of you but it was not you I was just too dumb and stayed home instead of following my dreams like you did. sam it is not too late for you to follow your dreams you know.

so Carla what are you gone to do, what do you mean what I'm gone to do. when will you be heading back to school? I'm not I'm gone to stay home, I just been gone too long and I wish I can turn back time and come home way sooner than what I did. yeah right like your papa would have left you done that shit.

he would have taken out a switch and used it on that ass of yours no matter how old you are. we laugh yeah you know that would be about right. well looks like we are done here and everything is secured. let's just hope and pray whatever is out there don't come around with the lights we put out and shit " you got that right I do pray. well, what did you cook us, women, we laughed ok now acting like papa?  we giggle well I thought a stew sounded good

oh yes it do I have not had a good stew in a very long time. and who's fault is that? I know it's my fault ok girl that generator works great it really lights up the place yes it does don't it yup sure do make me feel a little better now that I can see outside in stuff and better in here too. I don't know about you but I'm ready for a hot shower before I eat yes that sounds good because I'm ready to eat too and hungry as hell me to so you go first and take shower, and then I will go ok you got it I won't be long  ok
