Finally after 3 days has passed me and Frida were able to escape from this hellish nightmare that took place in this abandoned school.

Many questions ran throughout our heads such as: why the sky ended up that way ? Who did that to the sky ? And what happened to everyone?

The questions kept flooding my head again and again and it looks like it was the same for Frida as well, I could tell from her facial expressions that she had a lot on her mind. She’s usually so cheerful and so happy, seeing her look all serious and gloomy makes my heart ache a bit.

“ Frida, can you grab me my Cane ?”

I said to Frida as I leaned against the wall.

Me and Frida took base in the school’s infirmary. The beds there plus the stored up medicine helped this make it the best room in the entire school to rest up in.

I heard Frida fiddling with some boxes in the infirmary under the bed so I took the chance to make myself cool IN front of her, can’t miss a chance to impress the ladies you know ?

I leaned against the door and crossed my arms, I had a grin on my face as I said.

“ I can see that you’re looking very beautiful working over there darling.”

Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulders from behind.

“WAHHH”

I yelled.

“ I was standing behind you this whole time Pam, the thing you were looking at was a rat that’s eating away a open bag of chips that you left open.”

Said Frida as she giggled.

“ You meanie....”

I said.

“There there big guy, here’s the cane you asked for. Now we can finally leave this place.”

“ yeah you’re right, thank you for bringing me the cane as well. Pack all the medicine and enough food and water for us so we’ll go once we’re done.”

I said.

Frida and me got everything we needed from the supplies and we decided it was finally time for us to set sail.

“So where are we heading Pam ?”

Said Frida as she took her first step outside of the school.

“ well we’ll go where we said we’ll go at first....home.”

In those 3 days we spent at the school I had finally grown somewhat accustomed to being blind. Walking was no longer an issue for me because I was very fast to adapt to my surroundings. So all I had to do was rely on my hearing and my trusty cane. I liked my cane so much I even gave it a name !

“Cain”

Pretty impressive right ?

After walking for a bit we entered the village and it was dead silent. The quite that was in the village was rather very unusual, even though the place wasn’t that noisy from the start, but it never was this quite. Something feels.....off.

“Pam....”

Said Frida with a shaken voice.

“ Yes deary ?”

I said.

“ our homes..... They’re all broken...”

Said Frida as she gripped my arm tightly.

I looked over to Frida and with a distressed face said.

“ WHAT ? what do you mean our homes are broken ? The only thing that happened was the bloody rain as far as I remember. We didn’t hear a single bomb go off as we were in the school. If something happened we should have noticed by now.”

“ I... I don’t know. Let’s just walk over and see.”

“ god i wish nothing happened...”

I said while my arm trembled.

From what Frida has described the scene to be was that the village was completely deserted and it had a scarlet fog cover all of it entirely. It looked as if blood was being boiled and the remnant of that blood was left hindering in the rain.

We knocked on the doors of every house in town and no one answered us. I guess we both were delaying the inevitable which was checking our own homes, we both were way too scared to knock as well and not get a response back...

Soon after we finally had reached Frida’s home. The door was already hinged open and the roof was falling apart, from what she was saying it looks like the same has happened to my house as well.

We entered her house and we started searching.

“DAD ? DAD WHERE ARE YOU ? “

Screamed Frida on and on but to no avail. No matter how much she cried out to her father the only thing that she heard back was the echoes of here own voice.

The house was......empty.

No one was there and everything was in shambles. Frida looking at her own home in that shape and state made her crumble down.

Frida knelt down on the ground near her own bed where she left her diary on the covers. She looked at how everything was broken down and how a big hole was there in the celling of her room.

Tears started streaming out of her face one after another and she was unable to stop them.

Me standing there behind her made me feel useless and i couldn’t do anything to help her with.

I knelt besides her and I put my arms around her neck, she put her arms around her face as she kept on weeping.

The sound of her crying had me torn apart, for this was my only friend, the person who I’ve known for so long being the most happy and cheerful person I’ve met. Now only able to do nothing except cry over what she had lost.

I couldn’t handle myself and I grabbed Frida’s head and pushed it towards my chest.

“I know it ain’t much Frida, but I’m here for you. Even if the rest of the world breaks down, I’ll still be here by your side. We’ll figure this out together.”

I said to Frida as I hugged her.

Frida was shocked for a second but she kept on crying afterwards.

‘thank you”

She said while salty tears ran down her cheeks.

I didn’t say anything and I just waited on her to finish up so we can move.

After a while she collected herself again and we got out to check my house now.

Honestly maybe the fact that I had lost my sight was a blessing in disguise. I don’t know how I’d be able to handle seeing the only place I grew up in be reduced to nothing but a pile of Rubble.

We entered the house and just like Frida’s no one was there whatsoever.

We went up to my room and the smell of dust covered the whole entire room.

“Oh Pam... I’m so sorry, your room its-“

“ you don’t have to keep going Frida, even though I can’t see but I can already smell it... Let’s pick up what we can and get out of here.”

I said with a hurt expression on my face, but I had to keep myself collected and I needed to look strong, I don’t want to show Frida a weak side of me.

“ hey Pam look at this, your wardrobe is actually untouched, how about we take some clothes for you ?”

“Yeah sure sounds good, I might need some help though since I can’t really see”

“ I’ll be more than happy to help you “

“ thank you deary”

I said.

Me and Frida went through some clothes and we finally found something.

“oh you found my favourite set of clothes huh Frida ?”

“Oh yeah you did mention you loved wearing this, it always looks great on you.”

“Can you help me put it on darling ? You know it is a bit hard for me to do so alone, especially with my eyes gone.”

I said sarcastically as I loved teasing her.

“Yeah sure I’ll help you out !”

“You...will ?!”

“Yeah you can’t see after all”

She said cheerfully.

It looks like I missed to remember a single thing. My darling over here is extremely dense, and she’s very easy to miss out on a lot of my teasing as this one. Maybe it’s due to her overly nice nature, but her nice and warm nature was mainly the reason why I liked her so much.

“ Alright up you go”

Said Frida as she took off my shirt.

I honestly couldn’t hold my face from turning red at that moment, after all It’s not everyday that you get a cute girl to undress you like this.

“ alright now for the pan-“

“ I think I’ll be fine on my own doing this one”

“O...oh ok”

Said Frida.

Frida took a step back and got me the new set of clothes from the wardrobe.

When she turned back she saw me unbuckling my belt.

I slowly took off my belt and I started unbuttoning my pants, taking them off leaving me only in my underwear.

“hey you still there Frida ?”

“ I...I uh yeah, I’m still here”

Said Frida as she was stumbling on her words.

How cute, even though I can’t see but even from the tone of her voice I can tell she’s blushing right now.

“lets hide your legs first for now, here wear these black pants first.”

“thank you deary”

I said while putting my hands on her head gently rubbing it.

“You can consider this as your reward for helping me get changed, thank you for being so good for me.”

“PAM CAN YOU SHUT IT FOR A SECOND”

“ahaha sure darling, your wish is my command.”

“ alright now in your foot it goes”

Said Frida as she helped me wear my new pants.

After wearing my pants she took my black shirt from the chair and she helped me put it on.

She stood right In front of me as she was helping be button up the shirt.

“ah this one is a bit stuck, let me just.”

Said Frida as she leaned even closer to me, her neck was practically pressing against my lips at this point.

Because I lost my sense of sight my other senses have been greatly enhanced now, especially my sense of hearing and smell.

“fuck Frida, did you really have to stand so close.....she smells too good.”

I thought to myself with a embarrassed look on my face.

She finished up buttoning my shirt up and then she patted my shoulders and with a gentle smile said.

“THERE ! you’re already done, now just the final finishing touch.”

Frida took out my favourite coat out of my wardrobe and helped me wear it. The cost was a blueish grey that went well with my other clothes.

“ YOU LOOK SO GOOD PAM ! God I wish you could take a look at yourself now...I really want to apologize again for that last time, I’m sorry.”

Said Frida as her tone of voice turned from excited and happy down to being sad again.

My facial expressions changed drastically after hearing her say that. Without even saying anything I grabbed Frida’s hands and I pushed her onto the door.

Frida was 5’0 tall meanwhile I was 6’0 tall so the height difference was very obvious. I pinned her against the walls and she started stuttering very bad.

“P..Pam what... What are you doing ?”

Said Frida.

I didn’t say anything back but I just kept getting closer and closer to her face.

I pressed my forehead against hers and I didn’t move.

I could hear her heartbeats rise up again and again till it sounded like a drum being played.

“Dummy”

I said as I took out my trusty Cane and slightly tapped Frida’s head with it.

“ You didn’t do anything so you don’t have to apologize, if there’s anything I hate it’s people who apologize too much.”

I said with a cool look on my face, or so I hoped, i can’t see after all.....

“wait, if you’re just blind then why did you ask me out to help you change your clothes ? YOU WERE ABLE TO DO THAT ON YOUR OWN!!”

“hehe my darling I did that to teach you a lesson. You shouldn’t be too nice to people otherwise your kindness will be taken advantage of.”

“PAAAAAAAAAAAM”

Said Frida as she started hitting me on my chest.

Before leaving one last time to go into the world I felt something on the ground. It was my old necklace who I thought my dad threw away years ago.

“huh ? How did this end up being in here ? I was certain my dad threw this away.”

I said in confusion as I picked up my necklace from the ground and wiped the dust off of it.

In this life I never got a single gift, when it came to birthdays and holidays I was always the one who bought my own gifts from my own money. My parents never bought me anything and my I didn’t have friends to gift me anything.

But when I was a child I had a friend who I treasured dearly, Ali was my closest friend and the best friend I’ve ever had. He brought me this necklace as a gift after traveling to the neighbouring country. It was the first ever gift that I’ve gotten in my life and I loved it dearly. The gift was a black bead necklace with a black square at the end of it. The square had holy scriptures inscribed on it. Sadly the necklace appears to have been broken when the house fell apart and a piece of the square had broken down.

I didn’t mind my necklace being broken since I was just happy to finally have it back. I put it around my neck and I took a deep breath and finally decided to leave this house one final time to never come back ever again.

Me and Frida left the house and suddenly we both heard the same voice at the same time.

Baby cries were being heard from the distance , but that can’t be. Does that mean there are other survivors other than us ?!
