A New World

4.

We run out hand in hand. I'm surprised we got out. We managed to get two backpacks. One for me one for Myron. Inside I have most of the food, and a few waters. I got three shirts that say "I love Texas" but in different colors. Myron grabbed some shirts as well. And I also got a sweat shirt, soap, and a few lighters. Back at the pharmacy I noticed that Myron got lots of things we may need.
We run past a big crack in the ground caused by one of the major earthquakes.
"Hayden watch out," Myron yells over the pounding of our footsteps. "That guy back there..... something was wrong with him." He adds.
"We haven't seen another normal person." I state.
"Wait, stop here." Myron says.
I look up to see where we're at. I've been here before. Its Mrs. Panhallowth's old home, where she used to sell rare plants, and herbs.
"Are you sure she doesn't still live here?" i ask in a whisper... I'm not sure why because the streets are completely quiet.
"Guess we'll find out..." He says with a side smile.
As Myron opens the door inside her shelfs are ripped off the walls, glass from the jars that once held the rare plants are all over her once clean and kept floors, and her couch flipped over.
"Looks like the government took everything.... and destroyed her home." Myron whispers.
"Wait, did Mrs Penhallowth die?" I ask while Myron pulls the gun out from the side of his black backpack.
"The government took her...."
"Wait Myron, how do you know that?" If they took Mrs Penhallowth what would they even want with her? She was always shy and kind.
"Look...."
I follow Myron's gaze and see a zombie baby. I put my hand over my mouth to stifle a cry. It has human clothes on. And is acting as if she is a human baby.
