Suzy’s Strange Saga
It isn’t going to be pleasant to leave, but Donna does make a good point about the foolishness of sticking around here after the massacre of military personnel.
“Okay Donna, I guess maybe you’re right. I’ll pack and we’ll head out.”
“Well maybe it won’t be completely hopeless. Maybe some of the others here will be leaving too, we might be able to go with them or catch a ride for awhile at least.”
“Hm, I don’t hold out too much hope, but I’ll let you take care of that, just let me know when you’re ready to go, because I’m going to have to figure out what I need and can take with me without collapsing from exhaustion.”
While you struggle with what clothing you can do without and what items you’re going to need, Donna finishes packing and leaves the trailer to presumably go charm a ride from someone.
A half hour passes and Donna returns just as you’re finishing up packing and she doesn’t look in the best of spirits.
“I take it, it didn’t go well?” you ask.
“I can’t believe at least ONE of these rednecks isn’t so damn stupid to want to stay here! But no, everyone of these dumb fuckers are insisting on sticking around trying to make this place into a fortress or some shit.”
“Not one fell for your charms?” you ask.
“What are you getting at?”
“Well I figured you were offering something in return…”
““Offer?...Oh yuck! Suzy! Seriously? Do you think I’m just that much of a whore?!” Donna asks.
“Well I mean I know you’re free spirited enough not to give a shit about that sort of thing. I mean that IS how you got this trailer up front isn’t it?”
“Okay, first that was different. Second that was REALLY unpleasant! Anyway, looks like we’re walking. Even Tina wasn’t willing to help out.”
“Hardly surprising. So which direction are we walking?” you ask.
“What do you mean? There’s only one way to go. I mean you aren’t suggesting we head back to town do you?”
“Well the other direction will eventually lead to Security City and I can’t imagine it’ll be any better there.” You say.
“That’s still a very long way off Suzy, I mean maybe we can find refuge somewhere else first, like a truck stop or something.”
“I just hope we aren’t rounded up by passing military on the road. Oh well I guess we’ll find out. At least we got a couple weapons from that asshole who tried to kill us earlier.” You say.
And with those words, you and Donna leave the trailer, which was once to be your new home and make your way out of the park. Seems like ever since you left home, you’re doomed to not stay anywhere for very long. You hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.
As you leave, you see that Donna was right in that the park residents are indeed trying to barricade this place up by putting vehicles in strategic locations. You don’t see how such a plan can possibly stand up against a real attack by the military, but they’re determined not to be run off.
“So you’re leaving Donna?” Tina asks on your way out.
“Yeah, I don’t think this place is for me and my sister. You sure that you want to still stay here?”
“No point in doing so yet. Besides, Mel is actually getting everyone’s ass in gear to prepare this place for more potential trouble. It’s the most motivated I’ve seen him in…well since he first sweet talked me into spreading my legs for him and that was ages ago. Really I dunno why y’all are leaving. It’s only going to be worse out there, but suit yerselves. Good luck I guess.” Tina says and leaves the pair of you.
Leaving the trailer park behind, night has already begun to fall as you walk along side the road.
Ten minutes in and Donna breaks up the silence.
“The road is pretty deserted. There hasn’t been any traffic in either direction since we started walking.” Donna says.
“Hopefully it stays like that, seems like every time more people show up more problems crop up.” You answer.
“Yeah, I guess it does seem that way. Bet you’re wishing you were in the basement right now.”
“Got that right. No use wishing it was so though. Those carefree days are long gone now.”
“Heh, as are my own carefree days of partying everyday. A few days ago I was just starting to think that maybe I had been wasting my life and needed it to get back on track to do something productive. Now? Looks like I didn’t waste anything seeing as the world appears to be going to shit.” Donna adds.
You agree and the pair of you continue walking. The stars are a lot brighter without the streetlights of the town around. You look up at them on several occasions never really admiring the “heavens” before. You get the impression even Donna is starting to admire them. Really until this walk, you’ve never really realized just how rural of an area you lived in before.
Hours pass and both of you are tired, not just from the walking though, it was an “action packed” day earlier for the pair of you after all. In the far distance though you see the shape of what looks to be several structures.
“Hey Donna, looks like something is up ahead. It’s really dark, but I think those are tents or something.” You say.
“Yeah, wonder what that is.” Donna says.
“Maybe we should hang back until morning.” You say.
“Why?”
“Because who knows who the hell is over there. I mean maybe that’s a military encampment. We go walking in, and soldiers could suddenly surround us. Or worse, they see us stumbling in the darkness and shoot us on sight believing we’re intruders. Both of us are pretty tired anyway, I think it would be best if we approached this with clear eyes and in the daytime.” You say.
“Hm, okay you might be right about that. Where are we sleeping though?”
“Looks like the great outdoors. Come on let’s get off the side of the road. We don’t need someone running us over in our sleep.
You and Donna head off the road and deeper into wilderness, though not too much. You try to find a spot that seems “good” and then you realize you’re in the damn wilderness without even a sleeping bag, there is no where to sleep that’s going to be “good.”
“Well I guess here will do. Use your back pack as a pillow and try to get comfy.” You say laying down.
“Ugh, I can only imagine the things that are going to be crawling on me in the night.” Donna says.
“Yeah, things suck all over. Hey why are you getting so close?”
“You got both weapons! I’m not sleeping too far from you. Besides, it’s fucking cold out here. We’ll stay warmer if we sleep near each other. Did that with Julie once when her heating system was broken for a week.”
“Yeah, well you better not start cuddling or worse grinding on me.”
“Geez Suzy, that’s sick! You’re my sister for fuck’s sake.”
“Good, glad we understand each other.”
As you attempt to get as comfortable as possible Donna keeps moving so she’s partially touching you, despite the fact you’re trying to keep apart. Eventually you give up and just try to focus on sleeping.
“Suzy?” Donna says.
“What?” You answer.
“I’m glad we left and are seeing this through together.” Donna says in such a way that you haven’t heard her speak before. Almost like a little kid.
“Yeah, I’m glad we’re seeing this through together too.” You say.
And with those words, you drift off.
“Okay Donna, I guess maybe you’re right. I’ll pack and we’ll head out.”
“Well maybe it won’t be completely hopeless. Maybe some of the others here will be leaving too, we might be able to go with them or catch a ride for awhile at least.”
