Slowly you pick your way through the littered mall concourse, Trying to make your passing as silent as possible. After days by yourself it felt good to have someone beside you, To know you are no longer alone.
"I was thinking of getting out of the city" Alex said as they reached the shattered doorway that led out into the street.
"Sounds good to me" Gwen replied "But where are we going to go".
You tighten your grip on your pistol as you step out into the street, Hugging the shadows "I don't know, Maybe find a small town, A farm" You turn to face Gwen in the darkness "Somewhere isolated, Where we can live peacefully".
Gwen gazed into your eyes a glimmer of hope brought a smile to her face "Ok, lead on".
Together you traversed the city streets. Leaving the wide avenues behind you as you made your way towards the outskirts. In the distance you could see the fires, Hear the shouts and the screams.
Dawn was fast approaching and you found yourself in a rundown neighborhood. Even here there were signs of looting, Burt out cars lined the streets.
"We need to find somewhere to rest" You say, Finally breaking the silence "Somewhere we can hole up for a few days".
"What about one of these houses" Gwen replied looking up and down the deserted streets "It looks like no one has been here in days".
You follow her gaze and nod, "Ok, lets see if we can find one that looks safe".
Pushing open the first door you come to, You enter the house. The place was a mess, Furniture turned over, rubbish strewn about. Room by room the two of you search the place, finally coming to the basement door.
