the present...
I stand in the garden of our farmhouse digging up all the vegetables so we can get them canned for winter, I don't know if we'll make it through. Its already getting slightly colder now, I spend most my time chopping wood for the fireplace or going on runs to collect more food. It's been hard the past few months without him, Zach was the biggest miracle that has ever been taken away so easily from me.
4 months before...
We're going on a run to get seeds for the garden, it's garden season soon so we need to plant quickly. Something about this day just feels off but I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong. We've gotten into the car and have been driving for little over 10 minutes when Zach stops the car in the parking lot of the greenhouse. We use to go there every mother's day to get mom beautiful orchids, which were her favorite flower. We walk in with empty backpacks ready to be filled.
After I had been running up and down every isle grabbing anything that served a purpose I heard a loud crash and a scream. I zipped up the bag, threw it over my shoulder and ran to the noise with my knife in hand. Little did I know I would lose Zach forever. I turn a corner to see one of those demons tearing Zach's flesh apart. I stand in shock watching my brother being eaten alive.
A few seconds later I wield my knife and stab the creature and it flops dead to the ground next to Zach. I start to cry and I collapse next to Zach and grab his face, hoping for some kind of last words. I only got one word. "Go"
present...
Just thinking of that day makes me wanna die inside. But I have to be there for Rowan, without me he'd die. A little one year old can't fend for themselves. He basically lives in the house, I never take him on runs, outside to the yard, or anywhere else. I can't risk losing him too, I'm basically his adoptive mother now. He's a pretty good baby considering he's grown up in an apocalypse, he never cries, he sleeps well, and he follows the one rule. Never leave the house.
By now I've harvested most the good crops and taken them inside to be canned, we need to preserve for the winter. Our entire basement is filled with wood for the fireplace and extra materials to survive. We need to make it through...
