Chapter 2e
-------->Continuation
After a while grocery shopping, Ice and I had three nice boxes full of preserved food, good enough for a week or two of food.
So three heavy boxes=three people needed to carry them, and by last count, I observed two people and went to find Dagger.
I poked my head out the door and noticed that Dagger wasn't by the puke stain he had created. Ughh.
Trotting around the corner of the building, I see him sitting against the cement wall, staring at the sky, quiet for once. I pause and observe him quietly, waiting for him to notice me. When he doesn't move, I clear my throat.
"Dagger-" he snaps his head towards me and fixes me with a pointed stare and I falter, wondering why he's all serious all of a sudden. Do toxic fish fumes change a person or something?
"Uhmm... We've got food in there..." I say. He's still glaring at me.
"Its all gone," He murmurs after a while, moodily setting his chin on his knee.
"What?" I ask stupidly.
"What do you think?" He says, for once not smart alecky. He sweeps his arm at the general area around us.
"Everything. My family. My friends. My life. And you know what? There aren't others to really care about in this s***hole, and the human race as a whole has been obliterated," He says quietly. "The ones I care about, the ones you care about-" I wince and shut my eyes. He speaks a bit faster. "They are gone, and aren't coming back. You know this, I know this, but we ignore this. And while the lingering remaints of our society are being taken back by the wild, we're sitting here thinking about our own lives, not our place in the world... So what's the point?"
Okay, a moment ago I was in a good mood. Now I'm being forced to...
Dagger seems to take my silence as an invitation to keep speaking.
"Why? Why? What happens next? We're going to live for a while, then we're going to die. Nobody will be there to know we died, and we'll be no different from the other six billion people on earth. Which makes me wonder. What happens to the last one left? And then I wonder... Am I going to end up insane?" He looks back up to the sky.
"And the thing is, this is unavoidable. You can run away from most other things... But you can't run when everywhere else is the same. So..."
"Why?" I ask, struggling to keep my mind out of the pit of despair Dagger's was occupying.
"Why?"
"Why now? Why think about this?"
"I don't know. Why live in ignorence? What else is there to do now?"
((woah, deep... Sorry XD I'm in one of those moods today))
