How did this happen..? How could I be so careless?!
Flashback 6 Months Ago
It was always like this everytime.
"Roadtrip! Woot woot!" Ace, my brother, cheered.
"Where are we going again?" I asked.
"Uncle Ian's house." My dad answered.
"I sure hope we don't get lost this time..." My mom spoke sarcastically .
Every. Damn. Time.
"After that, please let's not go to a mall." I announced.
"Why not, Sweetie?" Mom asked me.
"If we go to a mall, we'd never finish until midnight!" I confessed as I rest my chin in my hand.
"Aw! We're just visiting your uncle in Georgia! We won't go anywhere else after that, alright?" Dad offered.
"...Alright." I accepted. Georgia was pretty close to Alabama anyway.
"Hey! Feli! Let's play I spy!" Ace exclaimed.
"Okay. At least we can pass time." I sighed.
"I spy with my little eye something that begins with 'S'." He said.
"A snake." I guessed, looking at the picture of a snake on his shirt.
"Wrong!" He announced.
"A s-.. A.." I paused.
"Hehee! It's you!" He pointed at me, giggling.
"...A sister?" I answered.
"Yep! Correct!" Ace grinned.
"You're very creative, Ace." I admitted.
We continued playing I spy for a while, until..
"Woah! There's a man on the ground!" Dad noted as he stopped the car.
"He's either homeless or drunk.. or both." Mom chuckled.
"Whatever it is, we should help him! What if a car runs him over?!" Dad encourged. "I'm helping him." He continued as he got out of the car nervously, unsure of what's waiting for him.
"Excuse me, are you okay? Do you need a ride?" He asked the man.
He didn't answer. Instead, we heard a weak growl.
"Wha..?" Dad whispered in confusion.
"Tim, honey? I think we best leave him for now." Mom suggested.
"We can't just leave him here." He repeated, now looking at mom. The weird thing was that the 'man' grabbed dad's leg.
"What the- let go!" He yelled.
"Told you he's drunk." Mom whispered. The man growled louder and... bit dad's leg?
"OW! Hey, what the hell was that for?!" He screamed. The man now munching his leg. "Let go, you cannibalistic freak!"
"DAD!" Ace cried out.
"We should help him!" Mom stated. We got out of the car to try and help dad. We tried pulling the man away, we tried kicking him off, we tried everything.
"I know!" Ace called. He went inside the car, brought a stick, and started hitting the 'man' on the head. He eventually stopped moving.
"Hh..hah...! I-... I s-stopped him..!" He panted.
"Ace.." Dad blurted out. "Thank you.."
"Hang in there, Honey. We'll get you to a hospital." Mom whimpered.
"No.. You can't-... I'm done for. I can't even stand up." He slurred.
"Dad..!" Ace wept.
I couldn't control myself anymore so I sobbed. All three of us sobbed.
Just like that, my father was gone. He's gone. Forever.
Not short after, we heard that familiar moan.
"Th-there are more..." Mom said weakly.
"Maybe I can hit them with my stick?" Ace suggested.
"Ace.. please, you could get eaten." I warned.
"But they're so easy to kill!" He whined.
"Wh- AAAAAH!"
I heard my mom scream. I turn around to see a bunch of... cannibalistic freaks eating her.
"MOM! NOO!" I cried.
"Just run away!" She demanded.
And we did.
