Surviving the end of Days, Alone.
As I got out of my car i was tired. Spent the entire day working and now it’s almost dark. I don’t have work tomorrow so i’m going to sleep in. When i got up to the main gate to the complex it was locked. I sighed and started looking through it to see who would be inside. Though i knew the only one with a key would be Alejandro.
“Al, Al ya in there?” I waited for a second and out came Al’. He was strong, it was easy to tell that, He wasn’t tall really but he wasn’t short. Even being taller by a handful of inches still not a guy i would want to get into a fight with. He has a ragged voice and a scruffy beard, he’s the kind of guy you would expect to see in a bar all night. Al’ Owns the complex of apartments, The building holds six 2 room apartments and Al’s place with his office. THis also means he has to collect rent, If you don’t pay he kicks you out, If you don’t leave willingly he will force you out, You fight back he will go back to his place and grab his gun. I am not sure how legal that is but i haven’t seen the cops. Or at least recently.
“What the hell are you doing out their Hunter, Cards was an hour ago.” I don’t always have money to pay rent, So Me, AL’ and a few of his friends play a game of cards, We tend to bet anything from cash to things sitting around. Sometimes i trade him crap for rent, other times he bets free rent.
“I had work to do, Sorry I wasn’t able to make it. Would you mind unlocking the gate? I would like to get some sleep tonight.”
“Ya ya what ever, Hurry in though i want to keep this place locked down.” I was a bit confused by what he was saying, I knew the neighborhood wasn’t the best but Al’ never locked the gates this early, It wasn’t even that dark yet.
“What’s going on? Someone get shot or something?” He unlocked the gate and looked at me with a look of fear.
“Things are getting bad, Really bad, Riots all over man. If it wasn’t you i would probably not open the gate. Now get inside before i change my mind.” After i walked in he quickly shut the gate and locked it again.
As i walked back to my apartment i knew something was going down. I was too tired to notice all of it but i noticed somethings. Al’ went to his office and I saw through the window he was loading the shotgun. He uses that thing to scare people that i have never seen him load it unless someone was being robbed or something.
I think back and i could have sworn i saw Jane, From the apartment below, I think she was on a bench crying to her husband Michael. I don’t remember much i was half asleep, I wish i payed more attention. I saw some blood but I can’t remember.I didn’t even notice at the time. Then I went to bed that night, confused, worried, but mostly tired. Damn i'm a moron...Should have paid attention.
