As we walked together he starting picking up flowers. He told me, "they're for my mama." I smiled and started picking some too. "Is your mom infected?" I asked. I realized that was a mistake as he started to cry and dropped all his flowers. He ran off alone and I tried chasing him but he was so fast I couldn't keep up. I lost my breath and sat down to catch my breath back. When I finished catching my breath, I got up and started walking. I didn't know where I was going or what I was doing, but I knew I had to get away from all hospitals as soon as possible. I kept running, but every corner I turned there would be another hospital. A couple days later the planet I was on had changed. It went from being infected to being destroyed. They're were people infected and places destroyed everywhere. I was so excited when I saw the boy again. But he looked sad. Then i realized he was standing over his moms dead body. I walked calmly up to him and leaned down with him. We both cried. After a while I asked, "what's your name?" He looked up at me. "My name is Alex." He replied. "Mine is Liza." I told him. He looked back down at his mom then got up. "I knew she would die." He said. He signaled me to follow him and I did. We went up to a cliff. He told me to look really hard and long at what's up ahead. I looked and looked really good. Then I saw it. I saw normal people and a normal society. "We have to get there," he said, "before we get infected." "But how?" I asked.
