Evac Day +68
#3 of Collab (to be renamed later)
Here it is; the first little hint to the collaboration being written by Frisco and I! Several of these 'journals' are going to be posted before we do the first chapter so as to provide a bit of a backstory, so stay tuned!
Evac Day +68
I found a family today when I was out scrounging for food. I was looking around the East side of the city when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. When I looked up from the dresser, there was a little girl standing in the doorway watching me. A vulpine, if I am correct in my guesswork. I didn't know what to do, so I just looked back up at her. She looked famished, her bones visible even through her red fur. I slowly reached inside my backpack and found a chocolate bar that I had been saving for my birthday. I held it out to her, telling her that I meant her no harm. She stepped forward slowly. God, she was thin. I don't think that she had had anything to eat or drink in at least a day. And her eyes... Her eyes scared me. They were a deep blue, but they looked so sad. I don't think I can I cannot describe how heartbreaking it was. I almost wanted to hug her, but I was actually scared that it would hurt her. She finally took the bar and smiled. She actually smiled! It was both saddening and joyous. Then she ran off. I left the house a little while after, not wanting to disturb what could have been her sanctuary from all this... mess. Then I saw somebody else. Or rather, several others. By the looks of them, they were her family. One of them, the mother I think, it was hard to tell through the grime and the malnourishment that they all shared, had her eyes. Then the father caught my eye. Just before he shot at me. This isn't the first time I have been shot at. Not at all. But the thing that got me was that the little girl... the same one I gave the candy bar to, was hugging his legs and pointing at me while he lined up for another shot. I ran. When I made it back here... I cried. I broke down and cried. What has this world come to?
