The end of the world?

In mid-March on a Monday, it was a beautiful family. Nathan (15), Naomi (10) and Nova (6) was on punishment and couldn’t be on no internet while their parents worked from home. In a quarantine where it was a virus going on, their parents didn’t want then to read up on the coronavirus. Nor wanted them outside, so all they had was books and nothing but each other to count on. Later, that night a big siren and they all woke up, they made sure they locked everything. They had no idea what was happening, they have no phones or anything, so their parents turned on the tv in their room and it was all black and it had words like “DON’T GO OUTSIDE, ITS AN OUTBREAK GOING ON, DON’T GO OUTSIDE ITS AN OUUTBREAK I REEEEEEPPEEAAAATT………….” They were all scared they took anything they could find, flashlights, lighters, blankets, clothes, food, anything. While gathering all the stuff they pick Novas room to settle down away from windows. “Mom I’m scared are we going to be able to be outside ever, “Nova says, “I don’t know” as the mother says that it is a knock on the door, and loud one. They look out the peep hole in the door and it is a woman outside with goo on her face, bright green and blueish. The mother looks back at the father and says what is going on, but the father does not know himself, looking concerned she sends her kids to the room and says don’t go nowhere. So, all three of them went to the room and was looking all sad. It was the vaccine for the covid, or they mixed something, they all thought. While Nova was sleep, everyone was up, people kept knocking asking to help them, or let them in, they are hungry, but they all had that greenish blue goo on them. It was normally on their face or on their arms or anything not covered.

The next morning the lights didn’t want to turn on, so the father thought the lights were turned off, so he wanted to go out and fix it, but the family didn’t want him to risk it. All the stores were closed, and they didn’t want to go outside, so, they just collected what they had. Soon enough it was a month worth of food they had, and half was food to cook on the stove. They didn’t want to cook on it because they didn’t want nobody to come to the house. While everyone was tired of eating peaches and the mother tired of them complaining, the mom decided to cook in the afternoon, soon to find out nobody came knocking they all thought, or they don’t have an appetite. So, they looked out the peep hole to find out everyone was in the dark. Nathan says, “Momma maybe it burns when they come to the light, can we try to find out,” ‘No, nobody is going out we can still get sick from covid, and it’s probably worse because of what’s happening right now, and we are humans not vampires son,” says the father. The son didn’t listen to the parents and still believes they are vampires, so he opens the door and soon enough they came running to the house, he was in shock didn’t know what to do so he didn’t close the door. He could not cause they all went running to get inside, however good thing the father was in the living room, so he seen him and closed the door as soon as they almost reach to the door. All Naomi could say was, “’ooooo Nathan opened the door momma,” trying to get him in more trouble so she can sneak and look out the big window, so she can see what everyone is seeing and needed to distract them, it works, and they both send him to another room which is the storage room where all their stuff is at and has to stay in there for some time.

While they go, Naomi looks outside and sees the same women from the beginning and the lady waves at Naomi because she sees her in the big window. She waves back and smiles, and she leaves to eat her dinner. Meantime, Naomi couldn’t forget how friendly the lady looked regardless the goo on her, so she waited until the morning and went outside to the lady, and she took her. Where has she took her, is she going to get sick too, is she going to get the goo on her, was they there to just to get the kids in the first place. So many questions……
