Dear Mom and Dad.

We're safe.

We had to leave the house though.

Those people outside were looters, I guess you'd call them? They were breaking into all the houses on the street. I guess the McCarthey's across the road must have been there after all, because we heard gunshots from there and what sounded like Mrs McCarthey screaming. We snuck out to the car and I drove us out of there. I'm so glad you started teaching me how to drive dad. Anyways, the looters started shooting at us, but we're not hurt.

We've stopped in the parking lot for Walmart for now. There are already a lot of parked cars here, so I don't think they'll notice one more. I don't know where to go from here.
