Goren was tired. He was tired of sleeping on the floors of the convenience stores Chel and he were looting and staying in. Each night as he fell asleep he wondered if there was a god and if there was then where the hell He was. Regardless of his doubt each night he said a short prayer that he would see his mother and his friends again.
But... it was such a big world out there... Even if someone had survived how would he ever find them or how would they ever find him? It seemed impossible. Deep in his heart there was the ache of knowing all the things he should have said when he had the chance. He knew that in large part his desire to see people again stemmed from his need to sooth that ache- to make amends for all the things he should have done.
That evening as he walked his steps were heavier the sense of defeat evident in his body language. He didn't care if Chel was there or not- he was feeling a little sorry for himself.
That was until he saw something off in the distance- a light... it looked like a lot of lights. They were far away but they weren't stars. Could it be... a city? Dare he hope?
haven,
