Day four

 

"There is frost on the windows. I am almost afraid to look outside. Just breath......."

 

"Oh it is definitely here. The snow is up to my ankles an it is only six in the morning"

 

"It looks like the whole world is frozen.  It is extremely quiet. I need to get down to the pond and see if it has frozen over, but that is going to have to wait while I check on Zoe and the house"

 

 

"We all knew this was coming. This was not a surprise. I am just going to go through my check list. We are fine, everything is fine. I have prepared for this. It's going to be okay Zoe we are going to be fine"

 

 

"Well the first problem is the toilet isn't working. The pipes are probably frozen "

 

 

"I still have running water in the shower so that is good although I should probably go check those pipes as well, but if I am going out in that I am going to need a wardrobe change"

 

 

"Check it out all the chickens are still alive. I am glad that I insulated the chicken coop when I built it. Also there is this weird pink and blue egg in here. Looks like the Easter bunny came early this year"

 

"Okay I just fed Zoe and I still need to check on the plants in the basement. It is going to be a buy day is what I am saying"

 

 

"I have fixed the pipes for the moment I am trying to unclog this darn toilet. in all likeyhood this is going to be a regular thing, because no natter what I do the pipes are probably going to freeze almost ever night"

"Well guys the shorts are put away and your probably not going to see them again. Welcome to the new ice age"

"Look at this guys. Zoe brought this in last night. It's an egg but it is not from my chickens. I don't think even Charles could make something like this. I put it next to the fire to keep warm. I wonder what is inside"

 

"It's a big....lizard. Is, is that what I think it is? Is that a freaking Dragon?"

"There is no other explanation for it. I just hatched a dragon. I amm going to need a minute to process this"

"Well it's a girl.....dragon. And you know what she smells like freash dirt and leaves. I wonder if she is an earth dragon. I can't believe this I am holding a dragon trying to figure out what kind it is. Yea I am going to need another minute.  But you know what the more the merrier. I am going to take this as a good sight that the storm is not going to last forever. I think that I will name her Gia"

 

"Well, dinner time. The storm has come as we all knew it would. Except that guy in the Lama costume whom I hope has in fact been saved by the aliens. Down here on earth, it's crazy freaking cold, my toilet smells like a skunk died in it and there is a dragon in my living room. So.....yea"

 

"Zoe!" What could you possibly be barking at at eleven thirty at night? I was almost asleep girl come on! Alright, fine I am up, now what is it?"

"Holy monkey's there is someone out there. Be quiet Zoe! I have seen groups of looters in town the past few days but I have never seen any out here. This could be very bad. Alrigh I am going to see who it is"

"Oh my teaspoons are you alright? Miss? What are you doing out here you are going to freeze to death"

"I....I am trying to get to.....to get to town. I....I have to get sup....supplies"

"You are never going to make it. The storm is only going to get worse. Please come inside"

"No no I cant I....."

"Miss, I'm not going to hurt you okay. Just let me help you"

"Here now, warm your hands, your fingers are one of the first things to go to frost bite. How long have you been out there?"

 

"Um a couple of hours I thought that I could get back before it got to bad."

 

"What's your name?"
"Blair, Blair Wainwright"

"I'm Jonathan Simpson. You must be  starving let me get you something to eat"

 

"No thank you I'm not hungry To tell you the truth I am just tired. More tired than I can ever remember being"

 

 

"You look like you are about to fall over.  Why don't you just lie down for a while alright. I have a bed you can sleep on"

 

 

"Oh no I couldn't take your bed Mr. Simpson"

"Call me Jonathon, and it's alright I have a sleeping bag stowed around here somewhere that I can sleep in.....I insist"

 

"This is all very kind of you Jonathan "

"It's no problem Just get some sleep. and if you hear snoring well....that is most definitely the dog. Big snores that one"

"haha of course, I mean who else would it be?"

"I'll see you in the morning miss, and dont worry, you are safe here"

"Please call me Blair"
"Alright, goodnight Blair

"Found my old sleeping....oh wow she is already out. She must have been exhausted. I have the feeling she was out in that storm for way longer than she was letting on. Who is she? And how did she get way out here, lost in the storm of the century, all alone?"

 

"She was too tired to notice the dragon by the fire pit. That is whole different level of tired"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 2&3

 

 

"Whoa, good morning day two is starting a little earlier than I expected. Um, well welcome.....let me get some clothes"

"That's better, now the name of the game today is fishing. I have to start building my meat stores and I am dieing to know what kind of fish I can catch in my little pond out there. So let's go!"

"okay I can see the fish out there all jumping and happy. I myself would be happier if they were in my icebox, but that is neither here nor there"

"right now I am using an unabated line jut to see what is out there. I may need some bait for this area though"

 

"And it is a big fat zero. Okay plane b commencing"

"I think they are laughing at me. Seriously they are waving at me in a mocking way"

"Yea I got a frog. Take that Kermit! You are going to be in my belly"

"I also got a catfish. so this pond is going to do for me pretty well I think"

"My frog is on fiiiiiiiya. Sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself"

"Blech, that is truly awful. Yea I am going to need some sort of seasoning next time"

"On the upside my plants are doing very well. So I am glad that I decided to sod the basement I think that is going to work out"

"You want to hear something funny? The electric comapany just sent me a bill for fifty five dollars. Yea you guys are hilarious"

"Does anyone else hear barking?'

"Oh will you look at this? It's a puppy. She cant be more than a few months old. It's not surprising people are abandoning their pets left and right these days. It's kind of hard to worry about feeding a dog when you can't even feed yourself"

"well come on inside if you don't mind left over frog legs little one"

 

 

"You and I can keep each other company. I have a feeling that is going to be hard to find in the very near future"

 

"I think that a I am going to call her Zoe"

"well Zoe its nothing fancy, just an old Tupperware bowl and a cardboard box with some blankets. But it's warm and it's dry"

"she's eating so that makes me feel a little better going to sleep tonight"

"well my plants are growing, I caught some fish in the pond and now I have a new friend. All in all a pretty good day"

"Zoe and I say good night"

Day 3

"Ha! dressed before you got here today! Well Zoe and I are both up and getting fed. She is eating quite well, and I found some old dog toys for her as well"

"I can't tell what kind of dog she is, but she's pretty cute. and she's friendly. I think we are going to get along great"

"she has found the box of dog toys. That should keep her occupied while I water the plants"

"They are getting big I am having to spend a lot of time down here but I am in a hurry this morning because I want to get the chicken coop built today. There is a farmers market in town that is selling chickens and I plan on getting a few before they all run out"

"well it took most of the day but the coop is done. I can feed these chickens from what I grow in the garden, and the eggs I can eat I an barter with and I can use as fertilizer. So this is going to be very helpful"

"This is Charles. He was thee only rooster left so I grabbed him, but I have to say I think he is secretly plotting my demise"

"Seriously don't turn your back on him, he's crazy"

"Cat fish for dinner, you an only eat so much frog. It is so quiet here. I mean Zoe is great company and I am very happy with the progress I have made so far, but I guess I am starting to get lonely. I am so isolated here and it is only going to get worse. I am going to end up like Jack Torrence in the shinning. Okay it is to quiet here ffor that kind of joking. Time for bed"

 

"There is a bit if a chill in the air tonight, and I don't know if that means that the storm is coming or not. But it is a lot more quiet then it was when I first got here. No birds. Not even any crickets. I jut have to not think about it. The storm will come soon enough and there is no point in worrying about it untill it does"
