I called him over to the bed so we could sit side by side. Short as I could
|
|
\ I've told him how I ended up like this. Streaming, Liz, sirens, shelter.
|
|
\ He didn't interrupt. Now we are sitting in silence and I guess it's
|
|
\ his turn to talk.
|
|
|
|
"Man, it's a lot to take in. Of course I was young, of course I know porn
|
|
\ existed, and we'll not be going deeper into this subject now. It just...
|
|
\ it was so long ago... I've also heard sirens once."
|
|
|
|
He's deep in his thoughts.
|
|
|
|
"I didn't tell you my name. It's because I don't remember it. I don't know
|
|
\ what year it is. Looking at myself, I can only estimate that I've been
|
|
\ living here for about forty years now."
|
|
|
|
I can't imagine what he's been through.
|
|
|
|
"I don't know what happened, I was too afraid to travel anywhere far. I went
|
|
\ to check the town about two years after, and I didn't see a single person.
|
|
\ It freaked me out completely, I went back to the bunker and didn't leave
|
|
\ since. For all I know we may be the only people still alive. I have
|
|
\ a watching post up on a tree, that's how I saw you. It's a fancy name for
|
|
\ a branch I sit on. Before you the last person I saw was so... long... ago..."
|
|
|
|
I want to hug this man so much. Instead I just lean on him. I hope he gets
|
|
\ the intention right.
|
|
|
|
"So, assuming our sirens are the same, I have no reasonable explanation.
|
|
\ Hibernation is the best I got."
|
|
|
|
I concur.
|
|
|
|
"Staying in the bunker is low risk, but I'm afraid I don't have means to get
|
|
\ you out. I have a hacksaw, I can try to remove the chain, but that's it."
|
|
|
|
The chain by itself is not a huge problem though.
