time you blew up three blocksof main street to get at that warlord that sold us the contaminated food?”
TT, “do I? I still can’t believe he survived our first assault, we did everything but unload the ammo I was saving. If it was not for his men killing him for incompetence, that son of a bitch may have made it out of here to come back again. But we showed them we were not the fools he thought we were, and what was left of them started to trade with us on the up & up after that.”
I said, “yah, but we still lost a few to their patrols when going out for firewood, until even they broke up or were wiped out. I thought that his men putting his head on a poll and leaving that note was a nice touch.”
TT, “yes, I still remember what was written on it, “ex warlord of this regain, beheaded for incompetence and moral depravity, let his sins die with him.”
I said, “it’s said you had that head stuffed, and tucked away with the note.”
TT, “I know, I started that rumor myself. But as for whether it’s true or not, I’m letting the myth or truth of it remain my secret.”
I said, “I know a few that say they saw it once, but then people can be liars about such things, especially if they think others will believe them to be privileged or something.” TT, “and a piece of candy from time to time can get them to tell such sweet lies. But the things you have done were no lie. Like just last year when you killed that panther that had been rooming these streets from the time it got loose from the zoo with so many other animals, and the three wild dogs at the same time. You saved Jacobs live that day.”
I said, “I only put an arrow in the beast, Jacob finished it off with a head shot.” TT, “yah, but he missed twice before you slowed it down enough for him to target that fast cat. We lost a number of people to that beast before that, as well as to many of the other animals that stayed around after their escape from the zoo. It was a shame that even the hunter didn’t see it coming, he was a good one and we missed his skills.”
I said, “the streets were very dangerous for a long time, only the fastest and most cunning survived.”
TT, “it’s still not safe out there, and the transport cables we strung from building to building only go so far. Lots of things we need from time to time are in places that are not secured. That’s why I still need people like you to run for me, many others just don’t have the cunning to keep themselves out of danger. So much of this city has become neglected for such a long time that it’s unsafe to explore anymore. If it’s not for stairways that will collapse as you climb them, it’s the snakes. We just don’t have the anti venom anymore, and some of those dam things can kill you with just one bite.”
I said, “we thought that after the first winter, the worst of them that got out from the zoo would of died, but the sewers and a endless supply of rats keep many alive. I think the wild dogs or maybe even that big cat got the bushmaster, and the rats took care of the exotic snakes that could not hibernate. But I’m still running across a great number of rattlesnakes and copperheads, so I just don’t go near their nesting areas, and that can change from month to month. There’s only so much protection I can wear and still run fast enough to avoid the dogs.” TT, “as long as there as bugs or anything else to eat we will have rats, and as long as grass can grow we will have rabbits and other varmints for the wildlife that will hunt them. That gives us a food supply we can tap into as much as we can, but nature is unforgiving about mistakes. People can no longer just set behind a desk and order out for their food, while planning to pave over the park and cut down a forest. As much as we would like to remain on the top of the food chain, we are still no better off than that panther, or the dogs that keep hunting us as well as the rabbits.”
I said, “well at least
