The Truth About The Universe : The Coup | TATU |

13 : The Rest

"Why'd we come here?", I asked Sam.

"This is the closest town to Bonge, so I thought we should stop here and rest for the night... ", he said. "Besides, I'm tired driving all the way here... let's see... ", he turned on my phone, "... its 0600, huh, drove a lot... ", he collapsed onto me.

"Hey dude! Take it easy, let's get to my home, you can sleep there... ", I said as I slapped him gently on his face.

"Huh... there'd be a bed?", he asked.

"Yes"

***

We walked to my house, walked up the stairs with caution... when I entered I saw my home, messed up, the roof blown up, windows shattered, coffee table destroyed, everything was a mess...

"I'm gonna sleep... ", Sam said. "Which room is yours?"

"Go left, the right one"

He walked there and a few moments later I heard him yelp, "Oof"

"Everything okay?", I asked.

I entered my old room, there was no nostalgia, I saw Sam sitting on the edge of the bed, all bloody... "Shattered window, the glass pierced, I jumped on without looking, my bad", Sam said.

"I'll get the bandages from my backpack", I said as I walked to the living room and handed him a reel. I then cleaned the bed and made it ready for him."Sleep well, be ready for today", I said.

"Yeah"

I walked back to the living room, saw Tyler sitting on the floor with her back against the wall, playing with her Switch, and Enter beside her sleeping.

"Why are you sitting on the floor? Come one, I will clean the other bed for you", I said as I reached out with my right hand, she grabbed it and stood up, Enter woke up.

I cleaned another bed, both Tyler and Enter sat down."I'll go check the food situation", I said. Tyler was too busy to with her game to react to me. I walked to the kitchen, opened the fridge... a really bad smell filled the room, "Yeah that's what happens when you leave leftovers in a fridge with no power for 3 days.", I murmured.

"I'll go see if the local shop has any food left", I yelled from the loving room, Tyler didn't say anything, and Sam was sleeping, not like anybody cared so I locked the front door and got to jogging to the local store.

***

Everything looked like it had happened in a movie, every house in my street had shattered windows, broken doors and gates, cars with punctured tyres, some houses with walls destroyed, it was all a mess, when I reached the local store everything was destroyed.

It was an underground local store, with lights flickering and the walls dirty, which was alright because it was like this even before the Coup, I walked down the hallway to the foods section, all the dairy products were either stolen or were spoilt, I then went to check the vegetables and meat... No harm in checking is there. No meat, no vegetables, whatever was left was spoilt and dirty, but some food was there, like frozen peas and lentils, I found more and carried them back.

Sam was still asleep, so was Tyler, but Enter was up and walking around, probably trying to stay on guard. I petted him have him some food. I then thought, how could using the dark web cause us to be to tracked? I mean its pretty safe, called the dark web, and why were we tracked? And that too by some military, probably the US military?

I opened up my phone, opened the dark web and went to the usual news site, last time we checked it was on our way to the Loot0 Mansion. There was a new message that read...

' "The attempt by the US military in capturing North America, South America , Africa, Europe, and a few parts of Asia, was successful and only Russia, China, India and surrounding countries stand together against them. There have been many casualties on both sides. It has become war. The cause of this is still unknown, only 1 billion of the human population that we know of, reside in these few countries. Hopefully, we all get out of this soon", by NoStar_67, 13 hours ago.'

Well, that's not helpful, literally the same thing he or she wrote last time.

It was 1000 by the time I was done with checking the phone, I didn't feel tired, but I still laid down on the bed next to Sam, because I was too lazy to clean another bed. After a while I remembered Vadar, my brother, Texas, Higson, Linda, Roughy, my parents, everyone that I'd lost because of this, the Coup. What was this? Why? Why had this happened?

I just couldn't sleep after thinking like that, so I went outside the house, Enter followed me. We walked down to the park in my neighborhood. It wasn't destroyed like almost everything in the town. The walls were not in a good shape but still the park looked fine as it was.

I found some twigs, and a big stick, I thought me and Enter could play catch, I threw the stick far, he'd get it back, this seems pretty normal to do, pretty boring, but it was actually fun, looking at him run like that.

He was Higson's dog I wonder what he felt like when, when he saw him die... it must've been hard on him too, right?

I threw the stick with a bit more power, and it was going pretty far away, Enter just straight up ran so fast I could not see him, I didn't even see the stick hit the ground and Enter was back to me, it was like a purple streak ran across the park, the path he took was burnt, the grass was burning in a straight line. "What the hell was that Enter?", I said in fear.
