Sub Category : Science Fiction
Screaming? Who is screaming? And crying? Who is that? Me. I realize its me as Jackson holds me. I realize it's me when Lulu collapses to her knees, staring at the burning mess. I realize its me as Andy grabs my arm. She shakes me but I don't stop. I try to hold my face but I end up scratching it. Jackson stops me, kisses me, and calms me. I look around d, looking at my ankle as Andy starts to wrap it. I start to worry of infection and disease, leading to an anxiety attack. Can't breathe. Gasping. Shaking. A hole swallows me up and I'm stuck. Jackson pulls me out again and I calm as he picks me up, carrying me as the group starts walking, walking away from the town, leaving behind memories of hate and disgust. I think I go into a daze. Jackson, Andy, and Lulu take turns to carry me, walking for miles till we see a doctor. Suddenly I'm sitting there screaming into a rag in my mouth as the doctor pours rubbing alcohol over my ankle. Screaming and passing out. I wake with stitches on my ankle, a deep cut that will heal in time, wrapped under yards of bandages. Its painful, making me happy that Jackson said he is the only one carrying me for the rest of the walk. We walk for another few miles, exausted from head we stop near a forest. After a long rest we continue on. We walk for hours and hours before stopping again, a town nearby was still mostly standing. We cheered happily and started running to the town; but we quickly started to think 'what if every one is gone? What if they have weapons? What if we die.' We slowed and walked in, now scared.
