Life as we know it

2

Agony, as I lay in bead hopeless looking for and answer on why that dream stuck out so much. Why was the s so real, And what did it mean exactly? Out of habit I look to my alarm clock to see what time it's is, then reality set in.

That's right, no power during light hours.

It's still hard to get used to. The memories of "normal" are barely faint. Hunting me, reminding me of what life used to be like. When life was bearable.

I quickly hop out of bed before I get stuck there sad and depressed, thinking about that past. There is not time for dwelling now. There is no time for anything really. Because it could just stop, at anytime. And that what scares me the most. The thought of it makes me tremble as I grab my hairbrush and throw it into a crabby high bun. No need for anything fancy when your running for your life.

I grabbed a pair of light colored jeans and a black tank top. I was not much for wanting colorful clothes, even before any of this happened. My mother used to tell me

* "Your clothes reflect your personality" *

Mom...

I miss her voice. I miss her advice, and honesty. I miss my family... I try to tell myself to stop before I open the doors to those feelings, but a knock on my door interrupts.

You can never be to careful theses days. You never know what is awaiting once you step outside. I grab a nearby bat next to my bed and slowly walk to the door. Before my eye even reaches the peephole I hear a deep set voice

"Cookie!"

It's max. Of corse it is who else would be knocking my door, my apartment is the last door on the top floor. The only apartment obtainable on this floor actually. But like I said you can never be too careful nowadays.

I unlock the deadbolt and walk away telling him to come in.

"You know you could have just opened the door for me instead of walking away" he snickered

His voice is so dead it's hard to believe, He's almost so petite but muscular at the same time so weird combination his whole existence is questionable but that's how life was like before all this questionable ,endless possibilities.

"You interrupted my daily routine" I jokingly snapped back

Like if I actually had one, The only thing I do when I wake up is try not to cry. Hiding the emotion is better because you don't have to deal with it.

"Yeah , right" he laughed

"What do I owe the unexpected pleasure maxine?"

"What did I say, don't call me that" he sneered at me, his eyes are sharp but I know he's not serious

"Then don't call me COOKIE then"

I hated that nickname, but I was a little something for him to hold on to if anything were to happen.

I didn't know max before any of this. I mean I saw him in school but he was always with the stuck up preppy kids and I stuck with myself. I hated school. But these days I miss it, I never would of thought that. But that was once normal. Whatever normal is anymore anyway.

I miss life.
