Sisters Keeper
I grab my sisters hand and pull her towards the cliff edge with me. She nods slowly in my direction. Then we jump.
It’s sepember, yet we haven’t found a new place to stay. The days grow colder leading to October, we only have so long till it’s a necessity to find shelter every night, She hasn’t been doing well either since we lost her pills, she sees and hears things again. It’s already been tough enough as it is, without this holding us back. It’s hard for her to walk a few minutes let alone hours or days. I don’t know how we got to this point, life used to be so much simpler, you do what you have to though.
It’s now October, I haven’t written in awhile. It’s been tough these last couple weeks, we found an old abandoned shack. The roof is caved in but a corner of the room is still cozy and built enough. She really hasn’t been speaking just mutters in the night to herself in the corner. I’m slowly losing my mind as well it feels like. I just don’t know what to do, I never thought I’d be in this situation, I don’t know how to take care of her, I don’t know where to go, where our next meal will come.
Moving into November, I honestly don’t know how we survived this long, it’s freezing, it’s also getting dark sooner. We only have so much time to find food before it gets too cold, especially for two, when it’s only me doing the gathering and hunting.
It’s now december, there’s now snow fall. We can’t really go outside. Only in the day time and when we do it’s very brief. Our clothes are torn and I can’t keep her by me long enough before she starts to run, I’ve almost lost her a few times. I just… I just don’t know what I should do, we’re barely surviving. We escaped hell just to land right back into it. We… I wasn’t prepared, it was a dream. It should’ve stayed that way, just a little longer. Maybe we should’ve planned more. I… I think this is as far as we make it. To anyone who may come across this, stay away from that town!!! Just avoid going to far west. If you do, well I just hope you’re strong. Bye.
