“This is Ethan Coleman, broadcasting a message for anyone out there, I have food and shelter, if anyone is out there, I can provide safety, I will be at the museum park every day at eight until noon,”
My voice rings harshly in my ears, I’m alone in a world full of nothing. One year back, the world still had life in it, and every living soul survived every single day, making a living.
This new living is something I will never get used to, every day is different, and every day I aim to survive, no matter what, I will win this war!

Days Of Oblivion

"Ethan, how long have you been out here?" I focus on the road. Instead of her, her blues can probably kill me if I focus on them too long.


"One year, but didn't you say you also?" I glance at her, rubbing her face exhausted, "Yes, I-I just don't have that much experience with the animals like you do… h-how are you acquainted with them in any way?"


I push the thoughts away, "When you live alone for such a long time, you find any means to not think about it… I studied their habitats and so forth, to understand them better, since we're living in a world, full of mutated shit, it comes in handy,"


"B-but you talked to them…" I sigh, "Yes, I know… like I told you, it's been a lot of years, some time ago, I understood how their little minds work, they may be predators, but they are smarter than one thinks,"


She nods into the distance, "So, you are an animal whisperer?" "No Lixa, we just understand each other, that's all…" "Okay, okay,"


I can feel her burning eyes on me every few seconds, "Can I ask you something?" "Yeah…" "Were you married? Or did you have any children?"


However, the truth is I was, and I had… but I tend to not drag into that story. Best I don't bore her into my memories and sweep her across my emotions…


I battle my watering pedals, "Me neither…" I quickly glance at her, I can never forget that memory, I can never forget the look on their faces when the destruction happened…


"Are you okay Ethan?" "Yeah…" I quickly wipe them away in a nod, "Yeah, the heat," "Living so long here, I thought you would be used to it?"


"I am… just not today," She nods along with me, I can see the pity forming in her eyes, maybe I don't hide as I thought, "To be honest, I was in a relationship, but no one was prepared for this… lunacy,"
