"Can i go outside mom?"
carl stepped out onto the porch that wrapped around the house. lori was sitting on the swing rocking back and forth.
" no i need you to stay here to help me."
" mom, andrea and carol are right inside." carl said wiping sweat from his forhead.
"your faster, and i need to you to help me with the baby."
"i have to do everything... i never see anybody else do anything productive. its always : carl do this, carl do that. God can i ever do anything fun?"
lori felt shocked to have her son mad. all she did was try to make him happy. life is hard when your a kid and there was a apocalyptic disaster.
carl points toward the barn & the RV.
"Everybody else gets to go outside, kill walkers, but not me! im special, i get to sit around on my butt and watch you tell me what to do."
Rick, carls father comes out from the kitchen.
"Rick, can you talk to carl? he's having an attitude."
"carl." rick said.
"What? can i ever have some fun?"
carl points his finger at lori.
"great, now you have dad that hates me!"
he threw his hat down on the ground and stomped inside.
"you need to do something. carl is getting out of control. i try to punish him, it's just that since im pregnant i cant really do anything."
Rick thought it over real quick. rubbing his fingers on his temples.
"carl wants to have some fun. thats like the only thing he hasnt had since you guys left."
"all i want is some help from my family that doesnt care for me!"
"we dont care about you? lori act real!"
carl lay on his bed, warm tears falling from his freckled face.
he took out his pensil and begun writing something.
Slingshot past the frozen moon,
Solstice must be coming soon,
Grab a torch to light your mind,
Encompassing what's left behind,
Silence deafens your brain,
Past the drops and through the grain,
Terminal velocity cannot stop the entropy,
Grab a torch to light your mind,
Encompassing a new, a new born day
Feel the beat of purple star radiation heals the scar,
Slingshot past the frozen moon
Solstice must be coming soon,
Morbid orbit fall away igniting with the new born day,
Vibratonal ecstasy
he packed his bags and opened the door. listening in to the noise.
" i need to check the barn hold on." andrea said.
this is it!
carl grabs his jacket and jumpes out the window. he looks around to see if the coast is clear, which it was. then he ran.
