AFTER THE INCIDENT
Her footsteps echoed through the silent street, interrupting the cawing of the Crows that seem to take a liking to an abandoned tank at the left side of the street, but soon returned back to their cawing and trying to eat what was left of a dead body which was close to the tank after getting accustomed to the sound her footsteps made.
Her footsteps became more and more like a stagger, as her body swayed left and right as it has lost all it's strength and frankly, the only thing giving strength to her body were the words coming from the radio she was carrying along with her.
_This is ZULU omega six from th-----military-----we have good news,west landing
Is safe I repeat wes------ng -------i strongly urge all surviving civilians to take shelter here, we have food----------------------sending location now 0.3373 w.....kings lane...._
Although, despite having listened to the message more than 50 times, she kept on repeating it probably due to the reason of she being alone for months now.
She took a peak at the dead body and suddenly came to an halt in her tracks as she noticed the dead body was clothed in a military uniform belonging to the LIBERATOR'S army. What was more interesting was the AP 108 pistol that was still in his military belt.
With a new type of energy surging through her body, she took large strides towards the dead body and even as she got closer, the crows still carried on with their activities since the former order of the food chain has long been disrupted, leaving humans at the bottom of the food chain. She slowly squatted close to the dead body ignoring the smell, she then reached out and grab the pistol from the belt holder and hastingly checked its chamber . Slowly, a smile crept to her once emotionless face as she found the chamber fully loaded with ReGen bullets. She placed the chamber back into the pistol and slowly aimmed it at a crow which was closest to her and soon, a new yet familiar sound filled the air which caused the other crows to flee to nereby rooftops were they continued their cawing but this time, not out of enjoyment but of panic and distress as a brethren of theirs lay unmoving right next to the intruder who they were supposed to attack but were too frightened by the deathly aura that was enmating from the dead looking woman that somehow was still moving.
She ignored the cawing sounds that had significantly increased and dip her fingers into the pierced flesh of the now dead crow and brought out the bullet then cleaned the blood on it on her faded military uniform, then placed it back into the pistol chamber- a technology born out of humanity desperation to survive and one of the many wonder's of the LIBERATION army.
She quickly placed her newly found toy into her rack sack bag and continued her journey and after 20 minutes of walking through the silent streets, she came to an halt as she gaze upon a high wall made out of scrap metal and wood. With excitement written all over her face, she gathered all her remaining energy and ran towards the wall but as she got closer to the wall, she began to notice something wasn't right and her excitement went down when she noticed the gates half opened but she kept on running and soon she passed through the open space in the gates only to be greeted with a gruesome sight, betraying the image she had in her mind about the shelter.
Anybody could have puked due to the strong smell coming from the littered bodies all over the place, belonging to both soldiers and civilians alike but her legs only gave up and she fell to the ground, landing on her knees. With eyes wide opened, she viewed the horror in front of her and tryed to make out why there weren't any crows around and why was their flesh not eaten but only torned apart and why there were only bodies of humans littered everywhere as she was sure that there was a battle judging by the bullets that covered most of the ground like a green pasture.
After thinking and not being able to come up with anything, she grabbed the pistol and the radio, placed the radio on the ground, aimmed the pistol at the radio then kept on shooting the radio till it shattered to pieces. After satisfying her anger and frustration that she hid so we'll behind an emotionless face, she got up and walked deeper into the compound passing through dead bodies that surprisingly had no fly hovering over them and dead bodies that she wasn't sure how they died, either from starvation or the claw marks on their bodies. Soon her eyes fell on a painting on a brick wall and as she got closer, she discovers it isn't a painting but a writing written in blood. She stops right next to the brick wall and read the writings on it silently and when she was done reading, an expression finally made its way to her face-a frightened expression, caused by the written words on the brick wall- IT WAS FIRST A HUMAN BUT SUDDENLY TELL HUMANITY'S LAST STRONGHOLD THAT THE KING IS COMING IT IS COMING THE KING IS COM- the scene slowly becomes smaller, revealing hundreds of bodies torn apart and littered all around the shelter's compound with blood flowing like the nile and in the middle of this horror is a woman who has just been tasked to deliver a message that might mean the end of humanity.
