I awoke with a flash the night after the firefight. The wind outside was howling with a magnitude that I hadn't seen in a long time. Seeing this, I threw off the sheets, and ran to my survival kit. Grabbing this, I then threw my laptop and gun into my floor mounted safe, knowing that the safe would survive anything that happened to it. Having done this, I ran for the basement and the shelter I had built there.
I awoke in a tomb.
However, I was too tired to really care.
I awoke for the second time, this time I saw a red light. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I saw my wall mounted digital clock reading 10:15. I then saw the oxygen level meter next to it reading green. I pushed myself upright and the memories flooded back. I had run down into what used to be a coal cellar of the building. However, call me paranoid, I had turned it into a nuclear bunker. I rushed into the bunker and had just turned the lock on the door shut right as the building collapsed around me. At this revelation, I was glad my career and life hadn't ended early. I then got up and proceeded to light the torches that I had scattered around the room. For all the high tech equipment, I opted for fire light due to a generator being unrealistic. I then looked out of the bunker window and saw some light. Seeing this, I realized that the whole building had collapsed around me. I couldn't get a signal with my phone as I had lead lined the bunker but, I had a built-in HAM radio in the wall. I then sent a signal out to the office and emergency services, "Mayday, mayday, this Pierre Leclerc, I am trapped in my bunker under the Pointe Place apartment building..."

ReplyDeleteSo, the building collapsed, but is this consistent for all the characters? Is this a dream? I’m not 100% sure. I think it was a really good idea.
Did something happen to Pierre to make him paranoid? This might be in earlier blogs, but it would be interesting to explore if he hasn’t clarified that yet.
What made him paranoid? Again, might be in earlier blogs, but cool anecdote if it is not already in his blogs
