my lifetime. I can use some excitement in my life. All this cruel thinking is selfish since I recognize there are a flock of destitute people out there. I believe that my family and friends are in a safe place. I should attempt to call my father, but I feel dazed. I try to walk without falling as I search for my phone. I grab my phone to try to call my father, but there is no service. It’s no wonder why I didn’t hear my phone ring. I’m sure that at least someone has tried to reach me in all this madness.
It feels like I’m in a horror movie, and I’m the star of the movie. I enjoy the moment while it lasts. People in my building are screaming, and the noise outside my apartment door is disturbing. I can seriously use another drink, so I stagger to the kitchen. I grab a cooler from the fridge, and I start to chug the cooler. I continue to watch the action unfold while I drink. It’s a good thing that I’m in my apartment right now, or I would certainly be a dead girl. I’m not sure how safe I am in my apartment, so I will have to wait until things calm down before I can open my door.
I hear shots fired, and other apartments are being broken into. I continue to calm myself down with deep breaths. This really sucks fat hairy balls. I can hear the cries of men, women, and children. I can hear dogs barking and being put down. I stand in front of my apartment door, and I’m a little anxious. I trust that all the noise will soon fade.
My apartment better not get broken into because I don’t want to suffer at the hands of some cannibal. I could always kill myself since committing suicide is a great idea right now. I don’t want to get eaten alive. I don’t want to die that way. The thought of being eaten alive scares me, and I refuse to be taken away like that.
I should probably wait and see how things end up. It might be worth dwelling in a torn world, but I have to think of something fast if I plan to stay alive. The best things in life can come to those who are patient. Things might improve for me, so I will try to fight for my life. I take a deep breath and try to plan ahead.
I’m not just going to let anyone break down my door and kill me. I’m going to have to try to defend myself. I’m a little prepared for emergencies since I’ve read about ways to survive disasters. I never imagined I would experience this terror. I’m a lucky girl because I own a hunting rifle to defend myself with. My father gave me the rifle with a lot of rounds.
My father is really protective of me. I rush to my bedroom closet to get it. The rifle is loaded. Residents in the building don’t know that I have a rifle. I’m not worried about food since I have enough canned food and bottled drink to last me a while. I will have to ration everything to be safe. I’m lucky that it doesn’t take much food to satisfy my hunger. I spent my money buying the cheap stuff. The inexpensive stuff is all that I ever eat, though I always desired to drop my money on expensive steaks, but I had to settle for less.
I have canned beans, pasta, corn, and other dull stuff. I run to the bathtub to fill it up before the water magically cuts off. I will need the extra water, and I have plenty of empty bottles to fill with water. I rush back to the apartment door, and I’m ready to blast anyone who crashes through my apartment door.
Several hours have passed. I pace back and forth, and I wonder if anyone will break into my apartment. I dare them to try, but they probably would have done it by now. I place the rifle on the wall beside my couch. I feel a little better now.
I don’t look forward to what’s next. Nightfall arrives, and it is a silent night. All the power in the city suddenly shuts down, and I wonder who pulled the plug. I question if anyone is inside the building since I don’t hear a sound. I have no idea what is happening in the world.
Darkness plagues the city, yet I have candles and a lighter in my apartment. I never imagined
