I walked in something similar to streets, wasted and full with holes it was hard to walk in; no one was outside and every place was covered, as if they were afraid of something to attack them. I walked like for 3 hours and couldn't see an end to the road, I was maybe hoping to find a place to stay and something to eat, but couldn't get anything. I began loosing forces, but since I didn't knew what could happen if I had no protection decided to stay in a garbage can, it was quite spacious, but smelled like hell; my stomach began making noises and my throat was asking for water; once I heard that if I bitted my clothes then my saliva will continue and make me an opportunity to survive. After some time passed I got used to the darkness in the can, and could realize that next to me there was a skeleton of probably someone dead...
Since I was already preparing my mind for something like that, I got a bit frightened; but didn't really cared about it, it seems that this place is really dangerous for someone to stay, I should stay calm for now and try to get my energy back. In the garbage I could see an old newspaper, the letters were almost erased so the only thing I could get to see, was the tittle "Is the end of him, besides that door", the tittle was curious but I didn't really paid attention to it, and used the newspaper as a pillow.
