Jessica's blue hair tumbled in the wind, left and right. It changed every other couple minutes as she took another turn down a long and windy road in her run-down neighborhood. Jessica clutched the bag that was close to her chest in her left arm closer. Her right arm was trying to keep her hair out of her face as she ran thought the alleys trying despertaly to get home. Next time we run out of food, Anthony can go and get it himself! Jessica muttered horribley in her mind. Great, lost again. Smart! Why don't you check that list again with the map. You can add your name to it while your looking! Jessica pulled out a piece of crumbled up and torn paper, and walked over to the shelter of a nearby dumpster. She laid down the bag and uncrumbled the paper. It said in Anthony's nice hand writing:
How to get to the grocery barn and list of 'Nevers' ( 'Nevers' are people who never got back to the group alive. For in this town, that happened alot.)
How to get there: Take a left on Lakeshore roade, then go up towards angry dog farm, then take right.
~~~
List of Nevers:
Sam, Carissa, Mike, Tim, Dad, Mom, Harriet, Falud, Saturday.
The note ended. We HAD to put those two things on the same piece of paper? Jessica stood up and threw the piece of paper on the ground. She had the bag of grocries and the paper now had two more names added to the list: Jessica and Anthony.

Jessica finally found her way back, after hours since she started out. Jessica was soaked to the bone, it had started snowing, and hard. Jessica pressed on hard to reach the makeshift shelter made of burned piecies of wood, that threaten to fall in at any given moment. Jessica had hoped and hoped that what she had written on the piece of paper wouldn't, couldn't be turn. That Anthony would still be alive. As she went, up the stairs, though the hole, And over the bridge. She had a dark feeling in her belly. As Jessica opened the door, Anthony had a smile on his face, his arms wide open. But then, his smile turned to fear and pain. He fell down, Anthony's back had been stabbed repeatly, and blood was oozing from his wounds. Jessica stood over his, breathless. He reached out and pointed to a box, colored in red paper. he said, which were his last. " Open it..... I-I-I..... Love you..... Jessica..." Jessica opened the box, and there was inside, a plain golden ring. That said ' Marry me'. but Anthony was dead! What do i do? Inside Jessica's heart and brain longed to agree, and then they did. " Anthony..." She mumbled, Jessica placed the golden ring on her finger and said happily " I do." Jessica grabbed the knife that had killed Anthony, and held the knife up to her heart, " I love you, and this is why. I'm going to do this." Jessica plunged the knife into her heart, blood spurled everywhere, Jessica began losing consciousness. She fell down and landed next to Anthony, her belly touching the warm bread that had fallen onto the floor. And moved closer to him, hugged him and her last words were, " Anthony, I love you. See you in Heaven, No starving there. And we can be there together for..... ever...." Jessica trailed off. Soon later, the rest of the group came back from gather supplies, and saw the corpses. They all agreed. " They can finally be together. "
