86. Bang

The girl handed me the empty water bottle without looking into my eyes. While Henry seemed to have been able to get himself water, she appeared to have not. I packed the empty water bottle in my backpack to fill it when we crossed a river or anything.

She pointed in a direction, and we started to walk slowly. Between the dark trees that all seemed dead and withered.

"How long is the walk?" I asked her.

"It will take a few hours."

"Where you also carried here?" 

"Yes. But then the monster came, and they left me behind..." She again sobbed a bit, but eventually, she pressed her trembling lips together. She had long, what could be brown hair, and olive eyes. If she got a shower, she would surely look like a typical attractive college girl.

"What are the other survivors doing?" 

"We only found each other, and became a group."

"How long ago was the earthquake for you?"
