Cornelius woke up, he took a shit on the floor and walked towards me. I honestly didn't care at the time. Not until the stench went up into my nostrils. It smelt like dick cheese. I couldn't stand the smell anymore and forced him to clean it up. Instead, he ate it. Wonderful. I walked outside to get some fresh air. Cornelius followed me. I sat on the curb thinking about everyone I had ever known was gone. I still had the backpack on my back. I looked inside and the block of cheese was still in there, along with the can of tomato soup. I put the can up to Cornelius, he instantly opened the can with his yellow teeth that still had a bit of shit on it. I put some of the cheese in the can and ate all of it. It was cold. But it was the only thing I really had. I took the tampon out of its package and wiped my face. You could tell that these were extra absorbent. It just soaked up the tomato soup. I honestly hate tomato soup.
