Not Alone
2035
Aidan
I watched them leave - the people I just met. The people who proved to me that I wasn't alone for the last two years. But why did I just meet them only now?
I expected to find people from the base, not two total strangers.
How come they weren't rescued? Or are they from the area we'd have tackled later – before the flooding hit?
My brain hurts.
I don't follow them.
Instead, I turn on my heel, grab a few packets of food, stuff them into my backpack and head back home to my shelter.
But my mind isn't at ease. At all.
I am not alone, I never was.
And for some reason, knowing that now isn't calming.
It's the complete opposite - it's terrifying.
Because it proves that I was right. I know something she doesn't.
