Chapter 18
.
On Friday April 8th Adam and Eve camped outside the supermarket. They wanted to be here when it opened on Saturday morning. Eve could remember this store being crowded when the weathermen mentioned snow. Things became more crowded since the crises began. There was something aboutt he countdown reaching below 1200 days that seemed frightening. Adam and Eve weren't the only ones camped out here tonight. Adam brought his tent, he subtly implied to Eve that if she wanted to have sex, he'd be ready. Eve wasn't ready and made it clear to Adam. With crowds this big president Mason was considering food rationing. There was some grumbling about this from the crowd, and some conspiracy theorists. Eve didn't give thee guys much credit, but she did wonder exactly when Mason learned about ELE. It did seem odd that the president pushed so hard for gun-control his first term, thus preventing armed rebellion from an increasingly angry people. When the store opened Adam and Eve rushed inside. Ed tried to keep order, it was amusing seeing him telling off the jerks who pushed and shoved other customers. They had never appreciated peanut-butter and jelly until it became hard to get. Someone tried to take te jar out of Eve's basket. Adam took the jar back and threatened him. Had the security guards not been here, a fight could've broken out between them. Eve did appreciate Adam being so protective of her. But she had noticed he seemed more angry these days. He tried to hide this from her, but she noticed. She just hoped their relationship could survive these uncertain times.
