HAVEN

Skinner

"Uh...Water?" He looks ups from his hunched form, sitting in the corner of the store and saw a kind young woman smiling while holding a water bottle at him.

Haven's eyes darkened at the sight of the easy going woman who smiles like the world did not meet its doom, it's not just her but the whole group in the general store, seeking shelter and cowering from the outside world. It's not fair, while he and his friend fight their way just a survive a day. sleeping day and night not even drinking water and no shelter in their heads...It's very frustrating...it angers him.

It's been a month since these people come out in this little sanctuary, No, It's not these people that come out in this little sanctuary that protected them from the living dead outside, It's just three people, three military people that brave their conviction to face again the monster that plague this world. Three people that maintain their safety within the walls of the store.

"No! Godamnit! Leave. me. alone. people!" Haven wave his hands at the young woman, his eyes furious.

"Grrrrrr...." The sleeping dog 'Buddy' beside him wakes up and slowly stalked the woman, his body shakes with so much growling, clearly showing the animosity of the dog, his teeth fully showed with saliva dripping from his mouth, daring the woman to take one more step to his master. The woman back away, the water bottle crashed in the floor with a loud thud.

"Ah! I'm...just asking!" The woman stutters at first but ends up screaming her last word.

"You're so rude! I'm just concern!" The woman rolls her eyes and walks back to her place.

He huffs angrily. "Huh! Concern? As if I want it."

"Ignorant people."

"Weak and self-important."

"Damnit!" He looks at the darkening sky outside, the sign of another dangerous night.

"Captain." Seev sat beside Carson and also look at Haven.

Carson looks away from Haven and glances beside him. "What?"

"Haven...." Seev worried eyes pointedly look at Haven that makes the latter to give him a fierce glare. In that particular day, they decided to go out of the store and look outside to check anything dangerous close but a faint song stopped them from their inspection and run fast as they can to where the song is coming up and saw a lone young man sitting up in the edge of a rooftop, strumming a guitar and singing softly but It's not that's shock them, It's ticking noise background, It's a really faint sound but for the three veteran military men It's louder than the blasting speaker in the rooftop. After they manage to reach a rooftop just beside the other building they finally saw the face of the young man, His face full of tears and his expression of giving up greatly alarmed the three of them, It's clearly a suicide attempt.

"Just give him a time to calm down." Carson brushes his hair with his fingers to back of his head.

Seev shook his head to his captain, they both knew that time is not what Haven needs. Since they brought Haven in the store this morning, the young man has been irritated in his surrounding.

Suddenly, a high pitch strangled scream broke the silent place, waking up the sleeping people in the store.

"Oh....Shit!! Fuck!! Cover every window!! Hurry!!" Carson and Seev look at the flustered Haven, with a frown in their foreheads they heed his instruction and put a cover in the window.

"Give me a weapon! Anything! Damnit people! Why are you just standing there! Give me any sharp weapen here!" Haven circled the store, looking for any weapon. "Fuck, Fuck, Fuck! Ignorant people!" Finally, he saw an Axe in an emergency box, breaking it and hurried to look at the window where he hears the scream.

Carson and Seev also look at the window but did not see anything dangerous that was making the young man a nervous mess.

"Don't open it widely! It will see you!" Haven seeth in his place.

"What?" Seev asks, confused.

"The Skinner!" Haven clutch his Axe tightly, readying himself from the upcoming battle.

"What the hell is Skinner?" Wright, One of the military men joined him to look at his window. Carson and Seev also look at Haven, expecting a detailed explanation.

"It's mean skinning you alive then after that it will eat you." Haven widen his eyes as one of the people in the store tore one of the covered windows and fucking pasted his face in the window like a bait. "No!!" Haven tried to warn him but it's already too late, a high pitched scream resounded again. "Fuck!! you people is the worse!" 

Haven shook his head. These people will kill me faster than my suicide attempt
