I remember it clearly. I was in my favorite pajamas they had my favorite character on them, Winnie the Pooh. "Daddy please just one more story!!!" I even added the puppy eyes, my special touch. "Oh, alright but only one more." That was when the sirens went off and we were plunged into the darkness.
I immediately grabbed teddy. "Sweetie, stay in here and lock the door unless I tell you to open it, ok?" "Ok daddy," I say thinking he was just going to turn the t.v. off because clearly that was where the noise was coming from. As my dad got up to go out the door, I jumped out of my princess beed sheets. I followed him across the room to lock the door behind him. As I sat and waited for him, I thought of how excited I was to start school the following week. I was going into pre-k. I was startled out of my thoughts when my dad ran and kicked down the door. "Sweetheart, we need to go! Put your jacket on and slippers," he whispered urgently. "Ok daddy" thinking this was a game, until I saw the something red on his shirt. He grabbed my hand pulled me out of my room. "C'mon baby we have to go."
"But Daddy my bear!"
He handed me my bear and gripped my hand like a vise between his calloused hands.
It was then when I left the sanctuary of my room that I saw the horror of what was going on I saw bodies torn apart, I couldn't recognize if it was even human at all. But what I saw was next was even worse I saw my mom laying on the ground with her abdomen torn apart and seeming as if she has been picked through and what was left was left for the scavengers. My heart broke. Sobs wracked through my small frame. We continued through the house and into the streets and when I saw the streets,
I finally understood the urgency in my father words. As we ran through the hoards of people and fleshy's, I struggled to keep my slippers and teddy bear with me. My father used his strength to get us through the people.
When we reached the ending of the people I thought we were safe. But this wasn't the end; it was just the beginning of the nightmare.
