Closing the door Nikos laid himself on the couch, blood flowing from his new wounds on his left hand and the old from his right foot, the blood felt good he made him feel cool on his sweating body.
Raising his body up to get himself fixed up, getting the medic kit this time and putting cotton to pressure his wounds so to stop the bleeding, throwing the used bandages to trash looking at his new wound in his left hand, the cut was not so deep and the pain was ignorable in front of his foot, laying on the couch Nikos starts to go to sleep but his jolted awake in realization how dangerous it is to go to sleep now.
Without a rest Nikos picks his tired body that only want to just sleep, getting to the fridge to get something to eat, opening there were some left overs of the food his grandmother cooked it was pasta bolognese looking at it Nikos starting tearing up realising that was the last meal that she will ever make again, taking he started eating with tears on his eyes, finishing the meal of cold pasta that was still awful because he always over cooked the pasta to the point she had to put a ton of oil to not stuck together and made disgusting, she couldn’t cook pasta.
Cleaning his eyes from tears and blowing his nose Nikos started speaking to himself to calm his self-down, going to the toilet he started thinking covering his face with his hand he pulled his hands off his face and started pumping himself up by punching the air.
holding his hand that forgot that was injured.
cutting it in half to use with one Nikos return from the shed getting canned food for four days so to not fill to much the back pack he put another bottle of water so to have two, the medic kit and one change of clothes the back pack was barely closing.

Taking a deep breath Nikos opens and he is hit by the heat of the middle of the day getting a look around for any danger Nikos takes the bike from the wall he put on, he notice where the bug was hit the frame was slight bend .
Pushing the bike with his good leg with out hurrying up looking around twice to not make the same mistake again getting on the road to the park, it was at the center of Katerini and most people should go to the center its where Nikos would have gone so some people should be there while thinking that he reaches the main road it was usually filled with people that browsed the shops, but taking a better look he froze the street was filled with human body’s and bugs fighting over them, backing up Nikos decided that the main roads were a no for use the were probably all filled with death and bugs eating, taking as much distance from the most used streets using the back streets and diverting from his way if it comes close to any part of the main streets, but still it was not enough to dodge all the bugs but again he had to change streets, the ride to the park took to much that he expected but he reached the park but none was there his plan had failed he thought that more people would be there [maybe there would be some inside the park and a cannot see them].
Looking around the park there was again nobody circling the park again, he takes a seat on the bench, that was covered by a shadow of a tree looking around he decides to yell he hadn’t see any bug near the park it was weird but he really didn't care . There was silence except the sound of crickets waiting for a response he hears a male at his middle on his 20 came from the corner of his eye sight the man was looking him with a face full with question he was speaking to fast barely and understanding what he was saying, he was frantic Nikos said with a astonish face this time he was angry and annoyed he said annoyed and started leaving without leaving eye contact with Nikos pointing with the axe to the main street noticing the axe the male jump backwards Nikos said pleading to the male the male stop he looked at the axe and said with a skeptic face Nikos looking at the axe decided that he really needed an ally and gave him the axe the male look at the axe again and to Nikos he took him some time by he agreed walking for some time the male asked Nikos looking back at the axe remembering that he hadn't clean it the man was disbelieving reaching the main street Nikos took a look at the road and notice a bug eating a female body whispering
