Last Days
The growling grew stronger than the sound of Gavin's screaming as the teen jumped with a start. He could see that he was still in the park, and his joints strangely ached. Looking around, he could see where the barking, snarling, and growling had come from. Under the shade of a maple tree, Virgil was attacking a zombie; three actually. One, Gavin saw was already dead. How zombies could die, Gavin wasn't sure. After the remaining two appeared to be lifeless, Gavin stood up sleepily and clumsily perched Emily on his back.
Standing back up, he started running to his house with Virgil close behind. Once there, Gavin ran up the stairs into his bedroom and placed Emily on the blanketed mattress. Afterward, Gavin went back to the ground floor, went out the door, and met up with his new doggie friend. Gavin gestured the canine to follow him and eventually made his way to a hot dog and hamburger stand. He ordered five hot dogs and two double cheese burgers.
Once receiving his food, Gavin walked into the park and sat on the closest bench with Virgil following cheerfully. After sitting, Gavin took a hot dog out of the bun and served them to the lab mix. He kept repeating this process until the hot dogs were no more. He then gave the dog the bread. After the Virgil's meal, Gavin then fed his own self giving Virgil pieces here and there.
Finished, Gavin returned to his home, let Virgil into the kitchen with some water, set up these things that are used to keep toddlers in one certain area and then left again. After a fifteen minute walk, the sign that stood before him read "Wayne Steel Memorial Library." Taking out his library cared at the front desk, he asked the receptionist if he could use computer number five.
