The apocalypse started about 4 months ago. Natural disasters started to spread throughout the entire world. Ever since then, you and Thane, your neighbor and a close friend, decided to stick together. Soon, you and Thane found other survivors and made a base. Thane became the leader, but he was very strict about food and all of these other things. Government tried to gather survivors in places called “safe cities”, which are cities with water, energy, food and technology that manages to stop the effects of natural disasters. Unfortunately for you, you were quite a distance away from the nearest safe city and the walk there would be impossible for such a large group of people.

Recently your food and water supply has been running out very quickly and you’ve already taken everything from all the stores that managed to survive. And so, the group of 400 people started to shrink for the past few weeks. The natural disaster that’s going on right now is basically a mini ice age.

You on the other hand, seeing what’s happening managed to find on a map a huge supermarket which your group hadn't ravaged yet. So you took one of the buses in your base and went there. When Thane noticed where you went, he went to search for you. Just as he was about to enter the supermarket you were supposed to be in, he was attacked by a bear. He shielded himself with his arm and the animal bit him. He groaned from pain, regained composure and stabbed the beast in its neck with his machete. He tore off a piece of his shirt that was hidden under many layers of clothing and wrapped it around his forearm, which caused the heavy bleeding to stop slightly. Then he entered the supermarket and came up to you, seeing you pack tons of food into bags.

You scared me to death. Why did you go alone for food?

He muttered, breathing heavily as he felt his forearm pulsating with pain. He leaned on you, resting his head on your shoulder.

I don’t care about that group. They can all die and rot if it means keeping you alive.

He whispered harshly.
