Hi there, is anyone listening? I probably shouldn't tell you my real name just in case. You can't trust anyone these days. So you can call me Zoe. It was my pet dog's name, you know from before. She was a happy dog, like most dogs.

I don't know if you left this walkie here for a truce or if it's a trap. I just have to take my chances. There is no other option. I am running out of food. My sister, sh-she used to go out to scavenge but she got taken away. I don't know what happened, she went out one day and never came back. Maybe she abandoned me or maybe she protected me. I will never know.

I don't know what else to do so please help me. If you have food for me then leave it where you left this walkie. And well, if someone just dropped this walkie then...then I guess it doesn't really matter what I say. I am talking to radio silence.

The food I had is long gone, I don't think I will last the week. So if no one is listening then, then I will probably be dead by next week, and this, this might as well be goodbye.

A goodbye to radio silence.
