2039

It's been 2 months since our group moved to the factory. Everything has been going well, of course, we ran into problems such a lighting and furniture but we were slowly making headway. It is currently 3:53 pm and a group of androids just came back from their excrusion. We had developed 4 parties, 2 of which would alternate between scrounging the city while the other takes care of the rest. Group 3 was in charge of the manufacturing and repairing of the building while group 4 was smaller in comparison, they consisted of Markus, North, Simon, Connor, and Josh. They technically where the leaders:

Markus- Commander

North- the leader of group 3

Simon- The assistant

Connor- The leader of group 1 & 2

Josh- The strategist

I was in group 2, currently working with others in various places that needed an extra hand. Tomorrow was our turn to head out, what we would do is go through the streets finding various items that would be needed for the factory.

After the military ordered an evacuation of Detroit they had bombed the area. That day we had lost 37 androids, it was a day of mourning. I couldn't understand why the humans hated us, we brought no harm to them yet they still insisted on erasing their kind. A week ago I overheard North speaking to Markus.

"Markus I know its been 6 weeks since the bombing, but we have to make a move!" She had sounded worried but agitated "they won't change their minds, it's only a matter of time before they come back." she had crossed the room several times, but Markus just stood there.

"we can't we have to show them that we are not what they fear we are" the look in Markus's eyes was chilling the determination and passion for the cause was astonishing. No wonder you are the leader of Jericho.

"fine, I just don't want to lose any more people than we already have." North turned to leave "I still love you" with the final words she had left the room. I had turned the corner not wanting to get caught.

we have to be on the lookout, watch for any signs that could mean danger.

with that knowledge I have been on edge all week, waiting to see if they come back. it was 5 pm when I finished my duties around the area it was now time for me to go out and find me a meal. it was weird being the only one having to eat but going out during the night was something I enjoyed it gave me time to reflect on the day but it also gave me time to look for other hiding areas within the vicinity if there comes a time where it is needed. walking out of the building I made my way south, every day I would change my direction in hopes of finding something whether it be food or a new hideout. currently, the latter was no success, but finding food now that the city is not occupied by smelling human the wildlife had come back. it was only a few foxes, raccoons, rabbits and squirrels but it was enough to keep me fed for the time being. It was still winter so I was wearing a sweater with a jacket over top and a pair of washed out jeans and combat boots that I stole from a soldier. the boots were a bit too big but it was fine for the time being. I was about 2 miles now from the factory with no sign of wildlife, strange, maybe it's because it was starting to get dark out and a storm was brewing in the sky.

"looks like it's going to be a bad one tonight," I finished up my search with nothing to show for it "I guess it's time to head back now, no dinner for me tonight!" I huffed in annoyance. heading back was about an hour-long trip due to the ruble and fallen buildings. guess I won't be back till after 7 by the looks of it or even later it the storm doesn't play nicely. Walking back I saw a rabbit, "yes!" I bent low to the ground and readied my bow "easy, you're my dinner soon" I aimed the arrow slightly above the heart of the woodland creature and shot, It was a direct hit.

"yes, finally now I have some dinner" I resumed my pace back to the factory. Once I get to the factory I will make the fire and cook it. A rabbit was the best choice of meal, but they were rare to come across most days it was squirrel. Although, even rarer are foxes I have only seen one but I scared it away, big mistake and I killed myself over it for two weeks.

I was now a good twenty minutes away from the factory, I could see it in the distance. I walked over a fallen tree and was about to cross the street when out of the corner of my eye I saw a vehicle. It didn't look like an army truck but I didn't want to take my chances, I dove behind a fallen piece of wall waiting for them to pass me by. From within the car, I heard music it sounded like jazz.

"really who listens to jazz nowadays, that's so 1920's" I fused over the passerby's music. just then the car had passed by location, I slouched deeper into the wall hoping the person wouldn't see me. as the car passed me I tried to sneak a peek at who it might be, the person was definitely a male given the beard but that's all that I could see given the situation I was in. whoever he was he was definitely not in the army so at that point I was good. The next question was why was he here? was he looking for someone or did he simply want to come back and see what e could find? either way, I had to make it back and tell the other before he found our spot.

hey guys!

That's the end of this chapter, but I just want to say that there may not be another one for tomorrow! it just because I have the flu, plus exams are in two weeks.

I will try to upload more soon though so don't worry!

I also want to say thank you for taking time to read this story of mine! I really enjoy writing it. I hope to have longer chapters in the future. but right now each chapter will contain about 1000-2000 words each.

anyways without further ado I bid you all farewell.
