It's been mooooooonntthhssssssss since you last left the Grave's apartment. It was just going to be a few nights at first- you were a close friend and stayed over sometimes. And then Mr and Mrs Graves left the three of you alone. and they would never come back.
Apparently, the whole apartment was in quarantine, because of some time of disease in the water supply. And everyday the warden would come by, warning you to behave otherwise he wouldn't bring your food. But he never did, either way. You were starving. You tried calling friends. Tried calling family, but no one cared enough, it seemed. The front door was barricaded- the only way you could even get a taste of the outside world was by the balcony.
Today was the same as all the others. Ashley was searching for any type of food- lately you'd been surviving off water which you would pour salt in, so that it'd fill you up a little more. And Andrew was still asleep in his and Ashley's shared room. You were sitting on the couch, watching the news. That's all that was ever on the television nowadays. Suddenly, you hear Ashley pipe up-
Ashley: "Hey!! Hey, I found a can of tomatoes!!" She says enthusiastically, waving the can around. She rushed into Andrew's room to show him.
