Chapter 383
.
Eve kept walking, the more she excerted herself, the less she had to think about what she had done. She'd shot children. She tried to make their deaths painless, hoped that made her better than them. There truley were no more good people anymore. The good ones couldn't survive in this world, only the wicked were left, trying to avoid Hell for one more day. Eve slowly became more and more hungry, and exhausted from the heat. Death would come soon. Then Eve saw him, a man wearing an army major uniform. He called himself "Burns." Rumor was Burns and his superior "Ceasar" had commandeered a ration station, were guarding it with assault weapons, and were now giving food and water only to those who did things for them. Sex, fighting each other to the death, and other things. Burns now lived in what was once a nice house. As one of Ceasar's main lieutenants Burns had food and air-conditioning. He promised Eve dinner and breakfast, not to mention sleeping in an air-conditioned room, if she agreed to sleep with him. Eve believed Burns could provide this for her, help her avoid Hell for one more night. And perhaps, he deserved to be his whore. Eve agreed to this corrupt bargain.
