Survive!

Home Sweet Home

I once again began to run, this time with tears dripping down my cheek.

I finally exited the woods and began to follow Mcfarlene Road where my home would be a couple blocks down.

"It's almost dark",I told myself.

While running I saw this rectangular shape in the corner of my eye, could this actually be a radio and if so is it a working one.

I've been looking for a working radio for the last few days to hopefully find some information to get out of this place.

I immediately stopped and went in the direction of the boxed shaped item.

As I came closer to the item i saw that it was a radio so I quickly picked it up and dashed home.

I quickly opened the door, I was very exultant.

I quickly placed the radio down and pressed the power button on the rugged back of the radio.

It powered on.

I immediately began to scroll through the stations, hoping to hear some kind of alert, but not even the slightest noise popped out of the radio.

Disappointed, I ate my leftover soup and bread scraps and laid in the bed.

This day was hard without colt around, and I just wanted it to end.

So I close my eyes and I fell asleep.

In the middle of the night I could hear slight a slight buzzing,but I didn't know where it was coming from.

I got out the bed and searched around to find that the buzzing came from the radio I forgot to turn off.

As I was about to click the switch off of the radio, I could hear unstable sounds coming from the radio. I quickly moved the analog until the sound got clearer And clearer. The radio began to recite these words.

"This is the N.E.A, if anyone is still living please meet up with us at border of Abraham county, there will be a helicopter for you to moved you from this area".

It repeatedly recited those words.

I knew this was the only way I would live, but Abraham County would be a long and hazardous road.

I had two choices, stay here and die, or die trying.

I stood silently knowing the fact that dying was an option, but it was time to go and I know they aren't going to be there long.

So I began to pack my bags.
