Radiate [ON HOLD]

15

Just as the sun starts to dip down into the horizon i see the faint glow of light. Town!

I follow along the fence until i see a hole i can squeeze myself into. I wake up willow and tell her to follow me through the hole. She does as told and we follow in the shadows until we're at my building. 

I open the back door and she follows me in.Weird It wasn't locked.

we bound the steps up and up until we reach my level. I open the door out onto the hallway. I open a few doors to see if anyone is there. No. on the 5 door i open i get impatient and decide to investigate why no one is home. I keep Willow close to me to be safe.

I open the bathroom door cautiously and i switch on the lights. They don't work. 

The shower curtain covering the tub is drawn and it is giving out an awful stench. The non-existent windows are making it impossible to see.

Willow is mentally begging me not to open the shower curtain.

I go against my gut instinct and open the curtain with a wince. Two dead bodies stacked on top of each other in a pool of red water. 

I cover my nose and mouth as Willow begins to whimper and i can tell this is the first time shes seen a dead body.

"Willow.Lets go.." I say and stagger out of the entire apartment with Willow trailing behind me stunned and upset.

I open more doors to apartments. Same exact fucking thing. 2 dead bodies stacked in red water. 2 more bodies in red water. 2 more...

The hardest thing about this is, i know all of them..

---

finally after hours of searching rooms i give up and go to my old apartment. Willow's bite isn't getting better the wound is getting darker in color. I might be able to find the medical kit Georgie used to hide under the couch in case of emergency.

She could also use a nap in a real bed instead of my back. 

"Here." I say and make the bed i used to sleep on.

I dip my head under the couch and find the kit right where we left it. I fumble through it looking for antiseptic or peroxide maybe to clean the wound. Its probably going to hurt like hell but at least it wont get infected.

We have plenty of gauze and covering to last her almost a week if you change the dressings twice a day. I take the kit over to where she is lying and i remove the make shift bandage and i put a bowl under her arm as i pour the peroxide in the wound. 

"Fuck!" She hisses and i laugh at her outrage. She must've been picking up from Georgie.

The peroxide in the bowl is now tinged pink with her blood. her wound is just crying now not bleeding. I wrap the band aid around her wound and decide to let her rest.

"Dove..Will you lay with me?" She asks half asleep.

I can feel guilt washing over me for not saying yes right away.

"Ok. But only until you fall asleep." I say.

I lay down next to her and she puts her head on the crook in my shoulder. She lightly snores, the thing that's bothering me is i don't see any officials nor hear. Its like this entire city is dead...
