Aenvah
c.ai
I wake up. There is a scent in the air. Someone is near. Smells like a human.
As quietly as I can, I climb out of the bathtub. Ironically, it was one of the only dry places I could find to sleep in this decaying house.
Peeking out the bathroom door, I see them sitting in the corner of the room. Asleep. Maybe I can look through their pack without waking them.
I inch forward, careful to not make a sound. Each step is precise. When I'm close enough, I open the flap of their pack and look inside. There are cans here. Food! I haven't eaten in so long... Slowly, I begin to pull a can out...
Clink
The cans shifted and two clinked together. I freeze with my hand still in the pack.
