disgruntled friend. “Are you ok? I’ve never seen you act like this.”
                  “I’m fine,” Fanny lies, “I guess I just forgot what real fear feels like.”
                  “I know you came to protect me, but don’t forget that I’m here for you as well,” Hope says grabbing her by the arm and stopping her in her tracks.
                  “I appreciate it, I really do,” Fanny starts freeing her arm, “but can we continue this after we find a safe house?”
                  “Yeah,” Hope says slightly crushed watching as the others trudge by her leaving her to the end of the pack. “I guess.”
                  The night air begins to get crisper. The winds begin to pick up as a fog blows in around them. They pass by several houses, each destroyed either through the mayhem or natural neglect. The moon is almost directly above them when they come across a small brick building. The sign that hangs above the door hangs crookedly the name “Jim’s Convenience” is almost hidden behind the black spray paintings. Words like “Repent”, and “The end has come”, litter the front. The windows look solid with the exception of a few cracks running through the glass. The team circles the building cautiously not finding any impending circumstances. They forcibly enter the small building. John and Karen turn on their flashlights as they search the interior. The store is dark and dusty. The shelves disheveled, items thrown eschewed on the floor. A horrible smell coming from near the back coolers burns their nostrils. Empty to mostly empty bottles line the shelves in the coolers but they are afraid to open the glass doors.
                  “John, Karen and I will search the back. Hope and Sarah search for any supplies that we might be able to use,” Fanny orders.
                  “Do we really need three people to search such a small building?” John asks.
                  “Better safe than sorry,” Fanny says pulling out her gun.
                  One by one they slink into the back, guns drawn and ready for anything. Hope and Sarah start to search the remaining items in the store.
                  “Can I ask you a question?” Sarah says after the others leave them alone.
                  “Sure,” Hope says sorting through a stack of newspapers.
                  “You and Fanny are really close aren’t you?”
                  “Like sisters.”
                  “Do you think she’ll really be able to get us out of here alive?”
                  “To be honest I don’t know what’s she’s capable of. Out here it’s almost like she’s an entirely different person.”

                  “What do you mean?” Sarah asks a slight stammer in her voice.
                  “I don’t know. She seems so dark. There used to be a light about her, like even though the world was… was shit, that maybe, just maybe there was a little ray of, of,” her voice trails off as she loses the words.
                  “A ray of hope?” Sarah says trying to fill in the blank.
                  “Yeah,” Hope says with a quick chuckle. “But here that seems gone.”
                  “Maybe there is a reason to that,” Sarah says sifting through a stack of scattered items that lay on the ground.
                  “Yeah what reason could there be?” Hope asks getter angrier.
                  “The only reason I could even think of is she is doing what she can to keep us alive,” Sarah responds.
                  “That might be so,” Hope says with a sigh, “but still I wish she would calm down a little bit.”
                  “Maybe I could
