章 10: Broken glass.
It's been 3 days since we left the house of the old couple we were starting to run low on supplies again and the winter just kept getting colder. Some of the children we brought with us seemed like they weren't gonna make it if we continued without break.
We eventually come to the entrance of a large broken-down city it looked promising, however, city's are the most dangerous places to be with clocks walking around. Tho at this point it was looking like we didn't have much of a choice. Instead of walking on the street and possibly getting killed we find a sewer grate and lift it off trying not to make too much noise.
The stench was horrible but at least it was warmer than above. Once we all got in we closed the sewer grate behind us again making sure not to make too much noise.
The rancid smells and the rotting walls were demotivating for society to reform however we kept walking hearing rats scurry around us. we came to a stop at a maintenance area that used to create clean water long ago. The pipes were now rusty and old.
After we rested for a while we had decided one of us had to scout for some food and go on a supply run for anything they could find in the city.
It's not exactly surprising to say not everyone was too ecstatic about the plan. We all wanted to stay close to one another. You see before all this we were in school together. When the attacks started to happen and people got sick becoming these creatures.
it spread a lot faster and turned them a lot quicker back then. However, over the last 3 years, it seems to have slowed down a lot. I guess it's because mostly everyone is either dead or one of them the survivors are smart and physically fit or just small and fast.
We all happed to fit the last one pretty well only two of us fitting the first one.
Thinking about the past doesn't solve much thought as right now we needed food and water.
We need someone to go on top and choose who is going to be the problem the reason we are only sending one is that two in a city is too loud. City's are covered in broken glass plants and stones. If a clock hears you make a sound it's only a matter of time before it knows where you are especially if they are self-aware.
We look around the group and see who is the fastest person to run without getting caught and eventually pick a girl named Alice. Alice is a small yet fast girl she has blond hair with bright green eyes and is very quiet.
She agrees to do the run on the condition she's allowed to bring back a toy to play with.
We allow the condition and then give her a rusted kitchen knife as protection one of the best weapons we have available.
"Remember don't get infected and come back before sundown," I tell her in a calm tone for reassurance.
She gives me a small nod and smile then runs heading up
I hope she will be ok...
