“There’s a light! I see it! I see it!” My brother shouted. “Will you be quiet. We don’t want to draw attention to ourselves.” I said back. “Hello?” That’s a voice. That means that there’s someone else alive. “Hello.” My father said back. “It’s good to know someone else is alive. I thought we were the only ones.” “Not quite. I have 16 others with me.” The man said. As he and the others approached us we saw who it was. It was my best friend and his family along with other people i didn’t recognize. “Hey didn’t know you guys were alive.” My dad said. “Well yeah we built a bunker with these guys.” Phil said. That’s my dads friends name. Phil and his son Zeppelin is my best friend. I haven’t seen him in 8 years though we are still best friends. He got cute. Really cute. “Nothing. Absolutely nothing.” Phil said. He was right nothing, and if there was something it wouldn’t be around for miles and miles. We lived in Washington state before it came crumbling down because of the war. So, what us 20 people did we got supplies and headed south to maybe find more people.
“Only stuff we would need. Clothes, water, canned foods, blankets, guns, and medicines.” My father said. “Move out.” My mother said. “Where are we?” I asked with the reply of my father “ I have no clue.” He sounded frightened but I don’t know why he would be because he is like a bodybuilder. “I think we’re in Oregon.” Zeppelin said. His voice was deep like a man. “Oh no.” My brother said. “What?” My mother replied. “I heard something. Not human and not a machine either.” “Animal maybe?” I asked. “No.” Said my father. In a whisper my father and Phil told us to stay on a low and try to not make noise. Could this be a beginning of a New Stone Age? “The noise. It was a loud roar. Almost like a big cat.” “No everything was wiped out because of the war. Right?” My mother asked. “Guess not. Maybe the animals lived because the government knew someone would be alive. So, maybe just maybe, they created bombs only humans would not live too.” Phil said. He has always been the smart one. We finally arrived to California
