the road; it does not take long for them to arrive at a single-lane tarmac road, surrounded by forests on both sides.
‘Cool, we’ve found it! Now all we have to do is follow the road in this direction,’ Ryan says, pointing east.
They start to walk along the road for about an hour.
‘I’m bored,’ says Ami, and asks if they can make a pit stop soon.
‘Yeah. I could use a break, too. We’ll walk for another thirty minutes or so, and then we’ll rest for a bit,’ says Ryan.
They walk for another fifteen minutes, but then they stumble across a crashed car.
Ryan takes out his gun and tells Ami to stay back. He then slowly walks to the car and looks inside to see if anyone is in there. The car is empty, and so Ryan starts to walk around the car and looks at the forest on both sides of the road to make sure it’s abandoned. It looks like the car has been left, and Ryan tells Ami that it is safe to come. ‘I think it’s a good place to rest for a while,’ he says, and sits against the car.
It is a hot day, and Ryan is sweating a lot. He takes out his bottle of water and notices that it is almost empty. He takes a few sips until the bottle is empty, and says that they need to find some water soon.
Ami sits next to Ryan and takes a deep, sarcastic breath, ‘I’m an AI and even I notice that it’s really a hot day today,’ she says.
Ryan laughs and tells her she is right. ‘I think it’s best if we take a break later today and then begin walking again once the sun is going down. We need to find some water and food soon, so keep an eye out if you see anything through the forest or along the road that we can use.’
Ryan and Ami sit against the car for another few minutes, enjoying the peace. After a while, Ryan takes a few breaths and stands up. He puts on his backpack and reaches his hand out to Ami to pull her up. They start to slowly walk along the road in the direction of the city. Ryan and Ami walk alongside the road for another hour; it is a very boring journey since there is nothing to do but follow the road.
Ryan soon becomes worn out because of the heat, and they decide to take a break for a few hours and then continue for another few hours until it gets dark. Ryan tells Ami that it’s best if they take some rest under the shadows; they walk into the forest and there they find a nice tree, not too far away from the road, to sit under. Ryan throws down his stuff and makes himself comfortable against the tree. He takes a few deep breaths and then asks Ami how she is doing.
‘I’m doing good. I hope we’ll reach the city soon,’ she says.
‘Yeah, me too. I’ll be glad when all of this is over and we can just enjoy a calm and relaxed life!’
‘Yes. It’s funny how things change. At one point I was just sitting in a small room, day in and day out, and now I’m walking in the outside world, having the adventure of a lifetime!’
Ryan smiles and says, ‘Yeah, me too. Even though the world has turned to shit, at least I have made a new friend.’
‘I thought we were more than friends?’ Ami asks.
Ryan looks surprised and asks, ‘What do you mean?’
‘Well, we are partners aren’t we? A team?’
Ryan smiles again. ‘Yes, we are. The best team in the world.’
Ami smiles back and looks up at the sky. The light shines through the leaves of the trees; everything feels so peaceful.
Ryan looks at Ami and asks her if it was worth leaving the place she came from to live in a dangerous world. She looks at Ryan and says, ‘I have been in that room all my life. My dad always told me that, one day, he would let me out and I could explore the world. But I guess this is not the way he meant it to be. But yes, I think it was worth it. I think life would not be worth living if you are forced just to stay in one place, all by yourself, for your entire life.’
Ryan looks down, a condescending look on his face, and tells Ami that he is happy he is not alone anymore. She sits closer to Ryan
