LIAM

Liam couldn't seem to find anything. His world, the normal life of a low-level electrician had been ruined. The buildings were desolate, and most of them destroyed. No one else was anywhere, as far as Liam had seen.

What do Liam do?

Let's take inventory. 2 slices of bread from the remains of his house. His electrician kit, with wires, and some other tools. Running shoes. A twenty dollar bill that Liam had in his pocket when Liam went to sleep the last night, and the clothes on his back. Not a very good start, was it?

Liam started to think, coughing as he breathed in. (Now, this may not be much at the time, but look at the title. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!)

If there is no resources anywhere in this place, is there in a mile? 2 miles?

Then Liam made his decision to run.

To get somewhere out of this place, and into another.

Liam want to runaway.

Liam started at a slow jog, how he was taught to in the cross-country class in high school, so he could run a long ways. The longer he went, Liam felt farther away from his was from the nightmares of his destroyed home, and hopefully closer to a new home. Liam looked around and sat down on a small hillside, taking a long breath, and eating one of the pieces of bread he had. Liam looked around. Nothing on his left. Nothing in front of him. On Liam's right, however, a remains of a Walmart stood, almost saying, Yeah, I'm still here!

"Why is there nothing here!" Liam yelled out. Liam wanted to stop and give up. Liam suddenly had a moment of realization. There was a Walmart. There might be something in there to use! He sprinted toward it, to hopefully get there faster than anyone who might have survived. He passed through the already open doors, which would have made him suspicious, but he was too hungry to care. Liam then grabbed 2 handfuls of candy bars at the cash registers. Liam also went immediately to the drink section, and grabbed a 12 pack of Gatorade, and drank one of them. With his arms stuffed with the items he had, Liam went to the school supplies area, and grabbed the last backpack. Liam guess he wasn't the first person here. It was a My Little Pony backpack (don't judge), and Liam filled it up with everything that he had. Liam went up and down the aisles of snacks, and filled the backpack with as much trail mix, granola bars, candy bars, and pop tarts as he could. Content with the food he had, Liam went to the camping aisle, (or what was left of it) and saw something. It was a girl. She was pretty, but also scary looking. A wicked looking hunting knife was held on one of her belt loops. Liam hid, and watched her for a second, and tried to think of a way to approach her.

Liam was torn between, just saying 'Hi', or 'You like jazz?'

Just go now, he told himself.

Liam walked to her, as she got to the camping aisle.

"You're a survivor too?" Liam asked.

The girl pulled the hunting knife from her belt loop and thought, 

Oh, I'm so dead, maybe literally.
