They were running but the bug was reaching them, in front of them was a barrier made of garbage bins, it was only 30meters that was separating them from safety, they were going to die and she was starting thinking what she did wrong.

Yesterday the world just went to shit her parents died and the power went down, her phone broke down he couldn’t call anyone, with the only choice she had was to go to her grandmother for help, but she found that she was dead too. She couldn’t handle it she was crying almost all day, she couldn’t leave the house to call for help because of her little brother he was 8 years old and couldn’t leave him for long time alone, getting to the streets outside of her apartment building, she couldn’t find anyone, she was leaving in a two story apartment on the first floor was where her grandmother used to leave. The day passed with great difficulty, she had to deal with her emotions, she was fearful of not knowing what was happening, sad from the death of her family but most important, she felt weak from don’t knowing what was happening and she couldn’t do anything to change. That was fine in front of what she saw in the evening, it was a monster, a giant bug outside of her home, when she saw it first she thought that her mind was playing a sick joke, but looking at it a little more she realizes to here degrading mental state that it was real, don’t knowing what to do she just locked the house and made her little brother not to leave the house. The day passed slowly but it passed all the work she did was mechanical she cooked using gas, she made a meal for the two of them, finishing she started sweeping the house then dusting it off and then tried to wash the dishes but found she didn’t have enough water pressure to do it, taking a seat near her brother she watched the sun, it was almost sundown, looking at her brother George she thought how happy he was still was,  ignorance  was glee,  silence started settling down and her mind started working on overdrive, the thoughts that Dannay  tried to suppress started to bubble up and like boiling water started spilling out tears started flowing trying to suppress it and failing she picked herself up and run to her room putting her face on the pillow she let it go like a blocked river it burst out. Time passed and she heard a knocking on the door waking up from what she was doing, cleaning her eyes and opening the door she sees her brother he said picking him she leads him to his room putting him to sleep, begrudgingly he complied. Unlocking the door to her parent's doors she looks in there were her parents laying on their bed like they were just sleeping it was like they were still alive just like the others days, but she knew better taking the last look she locks the door, she goes to sleep for the night.

A new day was starting it was seemingly going to be like the last day, a boring walk with the only think to look outside was the bug, it was moving across the street leaving and coming but doing nothing just moving it was doing this for hours. But everything changed when a group of three people with axes appeared from the corner of the street fearing them she hid herself behind the curtain waiting for the bug to attack them and run away, but they stayed the bug attacked them and one of them went in front and killed it, like it was nothing she was amazed by what they did, but they didn’t stop amazing her taking some sprays they starting writing that {survivors should come to the park if you want to survive, the apocalypse is here} and started leaving. She was still behind the curtain, not  appearing because she didn’t trust them, they had  written about the apocalypse that maybe had come  but it didn’t give them any reason to be trusted  and she didn’t need them she only have to wait it out so the army and government will dill with the problem, she just has to wait it out she didn’t have to risk her and brothers life to just be with others people, she was safe at her home and the bug that was in front of her building is dead she safe and everything is okay.

The time continued clicking again but she had nothing to do in the morning only thing she could do is to watch the ceiling or the sky, deciding that she liked the sky more she goes to lay on the balcony but her peaceful time was interrupted, by a crass being jolted up she looks around she sees across the street a bug attacking a door that was different from the other it a brownish sheen and was a bit bigger it had crushed on a glass steel door it had broken the glass, revealing a terrified young man behind it, the bug was probably noticed him and attacked him but it couldn’t break through the steel door but the bug didn’t give up he continued on munching the door.

Deciding that was enough for today, she destructs herself by cooking food for her and her brother. Finishing the meal for the noon that was chicken with rise, picking up her brother and putting him on the couch, finding a book so to read and to destruct him. Getting to the balcony again to take some breath and let her emotion free and the tears flowed again she felt relieved by letting them flow  but she is stopped when she noticed that the bug that was attacking the door disappeared and a hole in the steel door  took its place, the bars were cut and bent inside it was a bug sized hole the tears stopped her expression changed to terror her hands started trembling her fake safety cradled down  like the lei it was. Getting inside she started packing staff, she could decide how much to take,  she was in a state of confusion going around the like a scared dog. That was brought the attention of her little brother   he asked with eyes filled with innocents and confusion  she had the look of a hearted puppy looking at him and feeling like thousand needles pricking her heart she answered with trembling voice finishing with a smile she hoped that he wouldn’t question anymore but like the whole day her hope was crushed    taking a closer look Dannay sees  the picture he had drawn it was good for his age but it's still bad you couldn’t even say the gender bad to her eyes it was a master piece like cold water she walked her up realizing that she had lost focus,  she was just wondering around putting random think on the bag. Getting her head straight she prepared to leave the house, getting ready to leave she dresses her brother will he grumbles he did want to go to the park but they had to leave.

Getting out of the house she checks her surroundings being sure that nothing dangerous is outside. She started walking at a fast pace towards the park while dragging George behind her he was confused but he stayed quiet.

Their journey through the dead city passed without a hitch there was no bug in sight but there were many holes in the side of the buildings. Turning the corner they see a wall made out of trash bins that were written there were two blocks away but for her, it was only two meters away from salvation. Beginning to head to that direction with a hop to her steps, passing the first block her hearts stop the sound of trashing is heard from the the corner of the street she didn’t want to take a look she knew what it was grasping her brother and picking him up she started running she didn’t want to take a look but the same couldn’t be said for her brother he saw what was behind, said with a trembling voice filled with fear,  Dannay didn’t respond she couldn’t what could he say,  the only thing she could do is run to the barrier and jump it. She was running with all he got she heard the bug coming closer and closer her brother was screaming that it was going to catch them she was half  way through the block, but she wasn’t sure that it was going to make it,  the only thing she could do was scream for help in hope someone could hear her, but none came she knew she could make it, vile thoughts surfaced to her mind if she did have her brother on her shoulder maybe she could make it, if he let him fall she would be safe but that were the moments where the humans where challenge and the true self’s appeared and her true self-was, not someone that will through her brother to his death grabbing him harder she pushed herself  to run even harder her breathing was ragged her lungs were burning, tears flowed from her eyes, but when she started accepting her death  a man jumped over the bin and headed her way, he was armed, her feet were like the had cached fire but she continued until she was passed by the man and started slowing down, reaching the barrier she turns around and sees the man walking back while behind him was a dead bug said the man he looked rugged with wound all over him,  she couldn’t thank him from all the sobbing, she was hugging her brother picking herself ups he tried to stop crying but couldn’t the man helped her and her brother to climbed and said she was finally safe and looking to her crying brother she knew that she had a long talk.
