Suzy’s Strange Saga

You wake up to the sound of a noisy vehicle outside. You waste no time in springing to your feet.

You cautiously peek out the window and see a military truck pulling up behind Jed’s vehicle.

“Are you fucking kidding me? Is fate just determined to make my life more hell than it needs to be?” you say to yourself.

You then see a familiar figure getting out of the truck and carrying a rifle. He looks around and then wastes no time in running to the house.

“Bobby?” you say and then go move the dresser. By the time you’ve gotten out the door, you hear him downstairs kicking over the sofa in the front door entryway and calling out your name.

“SUZY! SUZY!” he shouts in a panic as you hear him knocking over shit in an effort to look for you.
“I’m right here and you’re lucky it’s just me, because anyone else would’ve long since blown your head off with the way you’re announcing yourself by now.” You say coming down the stairs.

When you see Bobby, he definitely looks like he’s seen better days, but when Bobby sees you he drops his weapon and his face is one of extreme elation. Like a great weight has been lifted off of him by seeing you. He rushes forward to presumably hug you and you immediately pull your own shotgun up.

“Alright, stop.” You say.
“Wha…it’s me! Bobby!” he exclaims.
“Yeah, I know who you are silly, I’m just wondering WHY you’re here. Who else is with you?” you ask.
“Nobody! It’s just me! Suzy, just put the gun down, I’m…”
“I don’t think so, after the week I’ve had I’m not too fucking keen on just putting my weapon down. Besides we didn’t part exactly on the best of terms or have you forgotten?”
“I know! I know! I was an asshole about that! I didn’t mean any of that shit I said! I was a big fucking asshole and you were right the whole time! I should’ve realized sooner that you were always the one for me and that I should’ve made the sacrifice for you because you’re completely worth it and I still love you”
“And…what? You just realized this today?”
“No! I realized it soon after my aunt called telling me she had you over here.”
“Wait, didn’t she call you on Tuesday? I was drugged and held against my will by your psycho aunt and uncle and you didn’t think to come here sooner?”
“I…it took me awhile to sort out my feelings…I was still confused…”

You can’t believe this!

“Took you awhile to sort out your feelings?! Confused? Are you fucking kidding me?! That’s your excuse?”
“It’s no excuse! That’s how it was! I thought there was no chance again with you given how bad we broke up! And besides, I’m sure my aunt told you how I pleaded for your life. It’s probably why you’re still alive.”
“Yeah, okay fine I’ll give you that. Your groveling probably kept me alive initially, but if you REALLY wanted to come here and play white knight and save the damsel, you REALLY should’ve got here fucking sooner! Do you even know what the fuck I’ve had to deal with here for past three days?”
“No, but I really did try to get here sooner! Seriously I did!”
“Oh yes, sorting out your feelings and probably getting one last fuck from Diana…”
“Hey! For your information I killed Diana.”

Well Bobby’s peaked your interest enough that you lower your shotgun.

“Wait, you killed that bitch?” you ask.
“Well it wasn’t on purpose, but yeah I accidently killed her when I was trying to leave the compound. I told her to either the hell out of the way or I was going through that gate anyway. Never believed she wouldn’t move and the crunch under the tires was pretty much an indication that I killed her.” Bobby replies.
“That’s not exactly an accident Bobby, but that’s okay. That’s another point in your favor.”
“Anyway, I ended up getting held up in town by the fucking National Guard, when both of my cousins decided it would be a good idea to antagonize them even more by firing upon them. That went about as well as you’d expect…”
“Your cousins? You brought family with you?”
“Wasn’t exactly my idea. Two of my cousins, William and Aaron wanted to leave the compound as well, so they followed me for a while in William’s vehicle. Then before I knew it, Aaron was firing at shit, which called more attention than it needed to. I parted company with them as soon as I could, but by that time I had the National Guard all over me. Crashed the vehicle and nearly got shot. In fact I probably would’ve gotten shot had it not been for this tight ass government official insisting I be held for questioning. Thought I was a terrorist or something.”
“So you were held captive by the National Guard?”
“Well I was on Wednesday and for part of Thursday until the camp got overrun by fucking crazy cannibals. Nearly getting eaten was a nice change of pace of getting punched in the face and beaten.”

Well that explains the bruises and scratches on Bobby’s face and arms as well as the condition of his clothing, which is torn in several places.

“Spent the rest of Thursday just trying to get away from those fuckers and trying to make it through the town which was a warzone at this point. Wasn’t until Friday night I managed to get a hold of a Guardsman’s truck and drive out of there.”

You remain silent as Bobby at this point walks over to you. He takes your hand.

“I’m sorry I didn’t get here sooner Suzy, I really wanted to and I really tried. My mind was always pre-occupied with concern of if you were even still alive or not. I can only imagine what horrors you had to face here. I don’t know exactly what happened here, but I saw all the bodies outside and the state of the house…and well I can guess you didn’t have an easy time of it. I’m here now though and you don’t need to worry anymore. We can go anywhere you want. We can run away to anywhere just like you wanted. I’m done with my family; I’m done with my religion. From the moment I knew you were being held here, I knew YOU were my family. YOU were my religion and I love you so much. You have to believe me.”

You look at Bobby and see in his eyes he really means all this. You stroke his face lovingly.

“Oh Bobby…”

And then promptly slap him. He gives a surprised look.

“…you’re goddamn right you don’t know what horrors I fucking faced! I was scared the entire time!”

You go into an exaggerated tirade about what you experienced while you were here. Not that what you really went through wasn’t bad, but to be honest it sounds like what Bobby went through was probably worse in his attempt to get here and you’re not going to let Bobby just think he can waltz back into your life and get you back with ease with his “hero” attempt.

“…and did I mention I was nearly RAPED by rednecks several times?”
“They didn’t…”
“No they didn’t, but I had to fend for myself and I did a pretty damn good job at it. Proved to me that I have an inner strength that I never took advantage of before and when the chips are down, I don’t really need anyone.”

Bobby’s face starts to show one of distress and just before he goes into his routine of telling you more honeyed words of his love for you and begs you to take him back, you stop him by continuing to speak.

“…but there also were times where things would have been a lot easier had someone had been around to help me.”

Now you take Bobby’s hand.

“(Sigh) Look Bobby, maybe all this crazy shit that’s happened between us and to us is like wiping the slate clean or something. Maybe we do have a future. I believe you when you say you love me and obviously you went through a lot to try to get here to save me. But we can’t just jump back into this like we were before. You’re going to have to give me some time.”

Bobby nods.

“Okay. I understand Suzy. I do.”

You and Bobby just stare at each other for a while. It’s funny how you never thought you’d even see Bobby again, let alone reunite with him. Somehow the argument you had earlier in the week just doesn’t matter anymore.

“Okay, let’s head upstairs to the bedroom.” You say and pat his hand.
“What for?” Bobby asks.
“For sex duh.” You say.
“Sex? I thought you said you needed some time.”
“Yeah well I decided that some of that time involves pleasuring me. Besides, this isn’t YOUR reward, it’s MY fucking reward for surviving this shitty week. So I hope you’re prepared to do a lot of licking.”
“Hey whatever you need.” Bobby says following up the stairs.

Doesn’t take long for the pair of you to be totally into your reunification. In fact you’re enjoying yourself so much you nearly don’t notice the bright flash coming from the window and loud noise in the distance.

“Shit that was bright, glad I wasn’t looking directly at whatever that was.” You say.
“I wouldn’t know about the light since my face was buried in your pussy at the time, I did hear the noise though.” Bobby says.

The pair of you wander over to the window and in the far distance you see the remnants of a mushroom cloud. Probably landed on Security City or near it. You can only guess it probably wasn’t a big one.

“So…they finally went and did it.” You say.
“Looks like.” Bobby says.
“Oh well, we’ll be okay.”
“You seem very sure of that, I remember a time you would’ve been worrying about radiation and everything else.”
“Well you’ve been through this hellish week the same way I have and we both survived. Together I think our chances are even greater. Besides, your aunt told me GZ put drugs in the water that are supposed make people more resistant to radiation and disease and such.”
“What seriously?”
“Seriously. That drug is what also made most people go batshit crazy. Doesn’t affect everyone though and I never did get a solid answer on why I wasn’t affected. Guess you aren’t either.”
“Maybe we’re already crazy?”
“Probably.” You chuckle.

You and Bobby go back to doing what you were doing and why the hell not? It isn’t like the apocalypse isn’t going to still be there.

Later you Bobby load up his army truck with all the stuff you think you’ll need. You aren’t sure where you’ll go yet, but you maintain a positive attitude that you’ll ultimately be fine.

As he begins driving away from the house, you open up one of the Tupperware containers of food that you took with you when you left and start eating.

“What is that you’re eating? It looks awful.” Bobby remarks.
“I dunno. I think it’s some sort of beef. I know it’s not much for looks, but it tastes delicious though. Your uncle Leslie was a really good cook. I’ve never been a big food person, but I’m seriously going to miss eating from that house. I took this as a last hoorah as it were. You want some?”

Bobby’s face begins to look a little concerned.

“Suzy, you’ve been eating out of my aunt and uncle’s fridge? How much have you eaten?”
“I dunno. I’ve had at least one meal a day there. What the hell else was I going to eat? I’m telling you though I’d like to know how to make this stuff, but I imagine just picking up meat from the super market isn’t going to be an option anymore.”
“Oh you can make that stuff without needing a super market. Suzy, my aunt and uncle were fucking CANNIBALS! You’ve probably been eating human meat for the past three days!” Bobby exclaims.

You stop eating and start looking at the meal you’re eating. You poke at it a few times wondering if you’re going to come across a finger or something, but after doing this for a few seconds you don’t find anything out of the ordinary, and you scoop out another piece and eat it.

Bobby looks shocked.

“What? Still tastes good. Think of it this way, at least we know I’m willing to eat human flesh if things get tough out here in the big bad apocalyptic wasteland. You sure you don’t want any?”

Bobby just shakes his head and continues to drive.

“Hm, more for me.” You say with a shrug and take another bite.

“You really have changed Suzy.” Bobby remarks.
“Yeah, well happens to the best of us.” You say.
