We made it back upstairs as I peered inside the living room, mom still sitting in her rocking chair. I took a deep breath before seeing the couch and I smiled slightly.
"Remember how we used to hide our comic books under the cushions." I told Alex as he smiled slightly.
"Mom hated those." Alex added as I nodded before we went out the front door.
We went outside as it was so foggy you could hardly see anything around you.
"I forgot how foggy it got after you left." I told Alex as he looked around.
"Yeah..." Alex said as we made it to the garage door.
It had all sorts of marks on it as I pressed the button and the garage door opened up, revealing another one of those things.
"I-It has no legs!" I said as Alex put me behind him as it started crawling towards us at a alarming fast rate.
It lunged at Alex as he hit the ground.
"Alex!" I called out as I picked up a rock before throwing at the thing and it bounced off its head.
It started towards me as Alex was getting to his feet.
"Jane!" Alex shouted as I ran inside the garage before seeing a steel pipe.
I picked it up and spun around, slamming the pip down on the thing's head.
I continued to beat it as Alex came over and grabbed my arm, preventing me from swinging it back down again.
"That's enough, Janie. You did it." Alex gently told me as I looked at him.
"I-It was gonna hurt you." I said as he let my arm go.
"It's alright. Okay? I'm right here." Alex said as I nodded.
"Here, you'll need this to pry it open." I told him as he nodded, taking the bloody weapon.
He pushed and pushed until the door opened and he grabbed the gas can before holding the pipe out to me.
"Here. Keep it. You need a weapon of your own." Alex said as I took it.
"Alright, now we have to find some gas. This can's empty." Alex said as I nodded.
"Lead the way." I said as we headed out of the garage.
