Alone and Alive
When the world stops shaking and the dust settles, they're alone.
As the weeks crawl past, they patch together a makeshift-home (dense trees, precious little sunlight, perpetual chills in the air). They're only children, but the past three years have given them killer reflexes. They're aiming slingshots well before he stumbles into view.
"Whoa!" Hurley flinches, quickly raises his hands. "Uh... Hi. We met once, kinda? At the temple?"
Silence. They respond with narrow eyes and tense muscles.
"I'm here because... well, I can get you home. Like, your real home. If you want."
(Their faces relax,
just a fraction.)
