Emily

Emily neither ate nor slept for days. Her eyes were swollen and she was completely dehydrated from crying. Why couldn’t she die too? It seemed unfair. All she could do now was follow the radio transmissions broadcast and hopefully find refuge. Emily broke down in tears yet again as she thought about the graves she had to dig in the back yard in order to suppress the stench of her families rotting corpses. It would be the last time she cried for her family, she promised herself that. She needed to move. Move away from the horrible memories this house held but also she needed to move some place save. There were sounds out there, sounds that weren’t exactly human.

Emily slowly rose to her feet. Tonight would be the last night in this house. First she needed a shower. It had been too long since her last. Even though it had been more than a week since the electricity went out and the water was most likely freezing cold, Emily was looking forward to it.
