As ellis walked down an over grown forest trail leading to a smallish lake. The trail had ivy and lush green grass growing out here and there. He guessed that it had not been used for a while even before the zombies came, for the ivy was not fresh grown it was very thick and long as if it was there for quite awhile. There were huge trees that towered over the trail. Vines grown up them and hung in between the large trees. Ellis had noticed that he had forgotten his gun, or any weapon for that matter, at the safe house. He sighed at his forgetfulness.
When he reached the lake he took off his ball cap and wiped his forehead. It was very hot outside, even at night. Before the hummer broke down the temperature reader said 89 degrees and that was yesterday before they hit the swamp. They were out of the swamp but it was still hot, and he was glad the swamp was a lot hotter than 89 degrees.
He looked out at the lake not seeing an movement in the water or the in the greenery around the lake. He missed all the animals. How the birds would sing. How the mockingbirds would whistle whatever he did. How the deer looked in the sunlight peaking out of the tree tops. How the horses would run so happy and gracefully in the green lush fields. He missed his dog sitting in his lap after ellis had a long day of work. If only he could see that one more time, he knew he could die happy. He always liked animals over people, they didn't complain he talked too much or he was annoying, boring, or anything. They always were there when he wanted them to be, he could cry, scream, laugh, sleep, or even be hurt and they would be there. He sighed again.
He put his hat back on and sat on the ground. "At least you guys haven't left or changed." ellis said directing his gaze to the stars as he lays down on his back. He was looking at the sky when he noticed that some of the stars looked like his old dog. Ellis could see that cute face he fell in love with as a puppy, he saw the black satiny fur falling off of the chow-shepard mix as if he was looking at a picture. He remembered the first day he got her, from a elderly man that couldn't take care of the puppy. He never saw her before, but from the description of the dog he liked her, and from, about the size she would be when she was full grown, to the color, and personality.
He knew she would be a good dog if taken good care of. When ellis first saw her he fell head over heals for the young puppy, she looked like a black silky puff ball of fur and that was it. Ellis could remember her growing up. He could just see her running in the field and on to the porch waiting for him to open the door. Pacing impatiently at the front door as he grabbed the groceries from the truck. As he put down one of the bags to unlock the door she would get in one of the bags and try to carry something in fro him, he would always laugh at is medium sized mix and grin at her with such love and compassion.
At night he would get in bed and hold open the covers for her to hop in and snuggle up to him and go to sleep. In the morning she would wake him up and pull down the covers telling him 'he can't go back to sleep if I have the covers' every time he could imagine her saying that, if she could talk. She would grab a towel from the bathroom towel rack and drag it to him as he got out of bed. When he ate breakfast she would take a mouth full and walk over to the place he was eating and eat next to him.
He could see her all in one glance to the stars. He started crying. Thinking of what she would be like if this apocalypse never happened. The hunter saw him crying and felt sad himself and wondered what the man was thinking to make him cry this much. Ellis couldn't quite crying, for about five minutes. About the time he got up and brushed himself off was when he heard coach and rochelle calling to him and panicking asking what happened to him. " What happened to you sweetie and why are were you crying?" The only answer he could give was 'The stars.' They just looked at him in confusion. Nick just came up behind them and scoffed saying something ellis could only guess was about him. Something about 'cry baby', 'idiot', and 'useless'. Rochelle just glared at nick like her heard every little word. After she finished glaring at nick and rubbing ellis's back they all walked back to the safe house.
I had a hard time writing this one because I used my real life dog and everything she does in this and thinking about what if this happened. I just couldn't take in and broke down in tears in my class. Thank god it was the last class of the day.
