Fuck. When was the last time I ate.

It's too god damn scary out there.. Even ordering scares the shit out of me.

The fridge was getting barren. The last of the carrots were holding on for dear life. Some vegetables had started sprouting. Maybe I could wait and eat whatever comes from the sprouting..

Okay, no. I'm an idiot. Dude, how can I even think of something that stupid.

How the fuck did this happen.

It wasn't even that long ago..

"Hello..?"

Oh fuck. I need to stop breathing. Stop breathing. My heart feels like it's slamming into my chest. Since when did it wanna escape? My body's pretty cosy ain't it? Did it hear I'm gonna be starving and wants out?

"Hellooooo?"

What the fuck do I do?!

Go the fuck away. Leave.

I'm gonna die in this fucking room. What the fuck happened outside. I'm not gonna leave this room if it's the last thing I do.

"Hey bud, it's been a week since you've been out of your apartment.. Are you okay? If you need anything just let me know, okay?"

Why are they trying so hard.. Just let me be.. I just wanna be alone..

"I'll go now, I just want you to know, I've had some friends who went through this kind of thing. If you ever need me, just ask for Sam, okay?"

The door handle shakes violently. The rattling is so intense, I feel like I'm going to die. My chest is so tight I can't breathe. I'm gonna fucking die here.

With my headphones on, I turn on a broadcast.

"The local region has been closed off to the rest of the world. I'm reporting live from the streets of Annixoma. Looters have been running rampant, attempting to break into people's homes in a startlingly creative variety of ways. Behind me, you can see the carnage this has brought to the local stores. The windows have been broken, cars are still being set on fire. It's chaos here. When will the government open the borders to let us out? It's not like this is a zombie apocalypse. I swear this is worse than the drones-"

Holy shit. How did it get this bad so quickly..

At least I'm not the only one breaking at my seams though. It feels quite lonely..

Do you want to see the truth?

If only that son of a bitch never made that post. What the fuck were they thinking.

I can't even tell if that shit is real or not or if this is some kind of mass hysteria shit right now. Maybe people just wanted an excuse to destroy the system. God fucking dammit. I have no idea.

A buzzing pressed against my leg, breaking me from my thoughts.

"Hey bro, I saw what was happening on the news. Are you alright???"

• • •

"I wish you could come and get me bro.. I'm terrified"

• • •

"Dude.. I'm so sorry to hear that. It seems only a couple places went bad like yours. Look, as soon as shit settles down, I'm gonna come get you, alright?? Just find a way to hang on bro, I got you. You just need to stay alive, and stay safe. You got me?"

• • •

"Yeah.. I got it.. I'll try my best."

If only he knew I haven't eaten shit all in ages.. Ha..

God.. Maybe I need to take a risk and see if that Sam guy can help me..

But what the fuck happened with the intense shit these past few days.. It's a miracle my locks stayed working and my door knob isn't bashed in..

Can I really trust anyone..

"Sam.. Sam are you there..?"

"Hey bud, what's up? Shit's been crazy lately.. Some dude tried to get into your house earlier so I've been keeping a watch out."

"How do I know it wasn't just you.. and you're trying to gain my trust to get in here and kill me, or take my stuff.."

"You're pretty direct kid, I like that. Look, how about this. Tell me what you need, and if I can get it to ya without entering your house, or causing you any risks, can you trust me?"

"I guess so.. How the hell are you gonna do that though.."

"Don't worry about that. What do you need?"

"I don't wanna really ask for anything, but I'm desperate.. I need something to eat.. Maybe some noodles? The water still works fine.."

"That all kid? Are you low on any other supplies?"

"Just.. I need to eat badly.."

"Alright bud, I'll see what I can do. Hang tight for me will ya?"
