Jessica bolted awake when Sam shook her by the shoulders. Light reflected off her daughter’s glasses as the young girl quickly explained what was happening. Jessica stood and dressed as Sam left the room, her fingers trembling as she buttoned her shirt. After the death of her husband, she had pushed her grief away just long enough to see her two daughters safe behind the concrete walls and barbed wire fences. That accomplished, she let the grief that she felt swallow up her heart. Sam had taken over running their meager household, procuring rations and teaching Karma. By the time she had come out of her stupor, she felt like too much of a failure to take back her role as mother. Still, the guilt burned her every day that she had left her daughters to fend for themselves their first year behind the wall. She should have been there for them more, taken an active role in their day to day lives… It was too late for regrets now though. She would need to be strong once more to protect her daughters.

Sam reappeared from their mother’s bedroom a moment later. It was clear that Karma was freaking out but she was proud to see her sister mechanically running through her duties the way she had learned from the drills. ”I think the wall’s been breached,” Sam said quietly, hefting her heavy pack onto her back, ”It isn’t safe here anymore. We need to get out of here, out into the countryside where we can hide.” Their mother appeared a moment later and Sam helped her into her backpack.
Taking a quick look around the apartment she regretted all of the things they had to leave behind. The rations wasted, the water left untouched. They needed to travel light however, if their packs were to heavy they wouldn’t be able to run if the need arose. ”Time to go,” she said and without further explanation threw open the door to their apartment and headed down the stairs. It seemed that they were the first to leave as the stairs were empty but she could hear noise behind some of the doors, yelling and scrambling as others realized what was going on and came up with the same plan on action as Sam had.
