Empires rise....empires fall. Be it over expansion as Rome or a nuclear attack as America....
My truck races.
Flying down the street. Narrowly missing people running and screaming. This is what I had prepared for. Holding the pup close to my chest as I drove I turn off on to the back roads. That's when the bombs make impact. The thunderous eruption of our civilization falling to ashes beneath our feet.
I pull up to the entrance, hop out leaving the pup in the truck. Opening the bunker doors. I run back to the truck and quickly pull it in. The wind starts to kick up as I'm pulling the doors shut.
A heavy thud as the final lock is secured.
A heavy thud as everything we knew is secured as a memory.
I grab the dog and the bag as I enter the living section of the bunker.
"Welcome to our home buddy, sorry I wasn't expecting company. Hopefully you like human food." I said reassuring the small creature.
I put him on the floor and hang the bag on the coat rack. Sitting on the couch I pull the gun out of my pants and lay it on the table. Kicking my boots off I set them up on the coffee table. Looking at the pup I say softly.
"Don't you die in here"
