SLADE

Don't get me wrong the farm is great, we're safe here in the middle of nowhere with electric fencing and a couple of shotguns to protect ourselves, being safe is a big thing in this new world of ours.

We have a roof over our heads, clothes and sanitation, which is more than can be said for many of the kids roaming the streets.

Most importantly we are self-sufficient, the farm has an orchard, many berry bushes, beehives, a vegetable garden and the river, we have food and plenty of water, enough to trade which means we are in a position of power.

Yet, no mater how hard I try I still hate this new existence we have carved for ourselves, I want my old life back, my folks, my house and Saffy.

This new world has to hold something more than this for me…
