Now for all of you who are reading this I will describe how my life was & was changed by things I could not control. Frist my name is Cory McGriffin. I did not ever think I’d be one of the few mentally stable people left alive after major climate changes caused the world everyone knew to disappear. Now for those of the younger sort that don’t know what I’m talking about I’ll take the time to describe how my life was before. I grew up as an only child in a normal suburban neighborhood. I spent my childhood & teenage years like every other guys at that time, joking around with friends or as I got older chasing girls & trying to get laid. After I got finished with high school I went to a mediocre college where I studied computers to get a good paying job. Now if I had known how things would have ended up I would have studied more practical subjects like survival or primitive living. But more on that later, it all happened on what started out as a normal day….
I woke up at 5:30am to get ready for work, jumped into the shower & washed my 25 year old body clean to prepare for the upcoming day of working & being in an office building full of people. I decide to indulge in some self-gratifying pleasure before work today. Now at 25 I’ve had my fair share of flings with the opposite sex but none have lasted long or been all that emotional for me. Now I am by far no ladies’ man but with average looks & a likeable personality I had my share of experience with women but I never grew out of liking a good self-induced orgasm. As I stroke my throbbing erection to the point of bursting I’m thinking of a girl I work with named Tirana. She is gorgeous with her long, raven black hair & tempting c-cup breast. As to better understand my attraction to her ill describe her in more detail, she weighs about 150lbs, stands 5 foot 4 inches, has an ass most women would kill for high & tight but just enough bounce to hint at the pleasure it could give a man & a medium sized waist that shows she keep herself fit. Now it’s not just her body that attracts me to her it’s also her mind & up bringing that I find so irresistible.
She is the sweetest & kind hearted girl I’ve ever met. One her first day as an employee at our work place she made it a point to try to be friends with everyone from the mail guy to the upper level management people. Now me on the other hand I try my best to just blend in with the surrounding & not attract unwanted attention. Now I’m not an introverted person but I always figured that in an office type setting it’s better to not be seen & heard so as to keep your job longer. Now back to our main topic.
I proceed to cum all over my shower wall thinking of my co-worker, then got out & ready for my day at work. While getting ready I turn on the TV to hear the news & get the shock of my life, “this is no joke, we are in a worldwide state of emergency that are earthquakes off the scale all around the world & the waves created are going to flood all of the low lying areas, we recommend everyone get to higher ground quickly & safely” as soon as this is announced I go into panic mode, I strip out of my working clothes & dig through my closet trying to find things from my past I never knew I’d use again. Now it might surprise that a “computer geek” such as me would have been an avid hunter & fisherman in my past but it’s true. My father was a retired military Sargent & took pride in teaching me all he knew for just such an occasion. I through on my camouflage & got my dad’s old 9mm pistol & hunting rifle out along with my tackle box & fishing gear. Just then I receive a phone call & go to answer it just make sure it nothing important, “hello?”
“Hey, Cory?”
“Yea is this Tirana?”
“Yea, I know you have to busy right now but I don’t have any idea what to do is it ok if I come over?”
“Of course it is Ti, just pack your clothes & get over here a.s.a.p. we will take my truck & get somewhere safe.”
“Thanks Cory you’re a life saver”
About 15mins later I hear her car pull up in my driveway. I stop packing all the canned food in the house into a box & go open the front door for her, when I open it I see her still in pajamas standing there with two suitcases in her hands, I take them from her & say “Here come on in Ti” she walks in & flops down on the sofa & starts to sob. I throw the suitcases in my truck & run back into the house & ask what’s wrong. She tells me that her parents live in California & that she can’t reach them at all. I hold her in my arms & say I’m sure they are fine, while I know that they are not. You see right before she pulled up I heard over the TV that most of California was destroyed & the rest was about to be underwater.
I tell her that we can’t say here the city will soon be too dangerous for us to be safe, I tell her to go take a shower & get dressed in warm comfy clothes while I run into town & grab some stuff we need, she says ok & I ask which suitcase she needs? She replays that she will just ware some of mine & turns to leave. I walk out the door jump into my truck & proceed to town. I get to the hunting store & they are just opening up, I run in grab ten days’ worth of M.R.E.s, two down sleeping bags, a solar powered generator, electric camp stove, a ham radio, a compound bow & 50 arrows, ten cases of bullets for each gun, 2 large 3 man tents, & two large belt knives. I hit the counter & see one of my high school buddies is running the store.
“Hey James, are u the only one here?”
“Yea I got the early shift today” he looks at what I’m buying & asks “Ok what’s going on?”
“I look at him & say haven’t u heard the news?”
“You know I don’t listen to that shit, why?”
I repeat what I’d heard this morning & he goes “WTF!” I go yea I’m hitting the mountains dad use to take us to. He goes ok man what do we need? I tell him we need more food & guns incase shit get really bad. He goes “If that’s all we need then here” & throws me the keys to the gun cabinet & says “grab what u want I’m going with you.” I grab 2 shotguns, 2 more 9mms, a 357 revolver, 3 crossbows, & all the ammo for each type, after weapons ammo & food are taken care of I remember we are going to need fuel to get up there & other places if need be I grab 4 25 gallon gas cans, while I’m doing this James is getting all the food in the store & himself some camouflage & other necessitates for living in the mountains. We load everything into my truck & his jeep & I tell him to grab his girlfriend & meet me at my house. I drive back & get to the house without any problems as I walk up to the door I see it’s ajar a little & stop. I get a bad feeling from this & pull out one of the new 9mms from my bag & load it. I slowly push the door open & see Tirana with her hands tied up & a large guy with a knife fondling her breast. He doesn’t see me as I aim at the knife & bang it goes flying out of his hand along with two of his fingers. Tirana looks shocked & the guy doesn’t know what happened at first then grabs his hand & screams. I run up & kick him onto the floor, then press the gun to the side of his head & say “If u aren’t out of this house in 3secs I’ll blow your brains all over the wall!” he shits himself & runs out the door screaming.
I go over to Tirana & hold her as I cut the ropes off her arms. I ask what happened & she explains it to me. After I had left she took her shower & got dressed in my bedroom, well she heard someone knocking so she figured I needed help with something & opened the door, then that guy grabbed her & put the knife to her neck saying “Scream & I’ll cut your fucking head off” she kept quite & he tied her up & went looking through the house. When he found out she was alone & that was nothing to steal he came back to her & said “I guess since you’re the only thing worth taking I’ll just do that then” then he slowly striped her with the knife & started to play with her breast, then I showed up. She sobbed the whole time & I went to get her some pants & a t-shirt. She had just put them on when James & his girlfriend showed up. He walked in & saw the blood everywhere & me with a gun in the waist of my pants & said “what happened?” I looked at Tirana & she shrugged so I explained it to him & he just laughed & said “that guy had better be glad u just blew off his fingers, if he had been doing anything more to her u would have killed him.”
Tirana looked at us for a min & then said “Would u really have killed him if he had raped me?” I looked at her & shook my head saying “Yea I would, men who hurt women are worse than dog shit to me.” She got this surprised look & ran over & kissed me hard. I looked at her stunned for a min then kissed her back. As we made out I heard the horn of James’ car go off tell us to come on so we could get the hell out of there. I got everything loaded into the truck & Tirana climbed in while I opened my door & started it up. It’s about 7am now as I turn the radio on listen to the latest news about the world going to hell around us.
As we listen to the latest news Tirana slides over close to me & rest her head on my shoulder, I look down into her eyes as she snuggles into me, I wrap my arm around her & she looks up at me with questioning eyes like she’s asking if this is ok. I just smile down at her & drive us towards the mountains about 4 hours away. After we’ve been driving for about an hour I notice that we need to buy gas soon I honk at James & signal him to pull over. We get off to the side of the road & he walks up to my truck & says “What’s up?” I tell him to stop & fill his car up at the next station & I’ll put it on my credit card. We pull back out onto the road & don’t stop till we are at the next station & we all get out.
James’ girlfriend Jenna says she wants some snacks & I tell her that’s fine & tell the girls to go get whatever they want & get a lot of it because we won’t be back in a town anytime soon, I hand the girls my American express card & say go wild u two. I use my visa card to buy all the gas & fill both cars & all 4 cans. As we are just finishing filling all the gas cans the girls come out holding 4 bags each & climb back into the cars. James & I look at each other & laugh as we get in to. We start driving again & I look over at Tirana & ask so what did u girls get? She names off a bunch of snacks & sodas, then blushes. This gets me to wondering & I ask anything else? She nods & says we got condoms to all he had in the store. I laugh & say that’s planning ahead, I’m glad you girls thought of that we don’t need James’ girlfriend getting pregnant right now. Tirana blushes again & I catch on & go “Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t think about that Tirana.”
We get to the mountains about 3 hours later. Me & Tirana have gotten over the embarrassing and are joking around. We find a nice spot beside a stream a start to set up camp, as me & James get the tents set up I get the girls to build a fire pit & find firewood. We get everything done in short order & are all hungry as its getting close to lunch time. I tell the girls to bring out the snacks they got & we all get to eating. After lunch we are all kind of tired & decide to take a nap for a little while. Well James & Jenna take one tent & Tirana & I take the other. Well after we go in I pull my shirt off & crawl into my sleeping bag. As I get comfy I feel Tirana lay down beside me & rub my shoulders I turn over to look at her & see a smoldering come fuck me look on her face. I look back at her unsure & ask “Are u sure this is what u want?” She nods & pulls the sleeping bag open.
I pull her down on top of me & kiss her passionately as I rub my hands up her back under her shirt. Our tongues dance inside each other’s mouths as I pull her shirt up to her neck; we break the kiss so I can remove her shirt & then go back to tongue fucking each other’s mouths. I reach my hands to her beautiful breasts & gently rub my hands all over them, she moans into my mouth as I rub my fingers over her nipples. We break our kiss & she moans “I’ve waited so long to do this.” I look up into her eyes with a questioning look. She answers my look saying “I’ve wanted us to be together for a while now but I was worried that u didn’t feel the same.” I look into her eyes & say Tirana I have admired & wanted u from the first day we meet but I had the same doubt u did is why I never said anything about it. She smiles down at me & says well now we get the chance to rectify those mistakes as she unbuttons my pants & pulls them free of my body. She stands there in an old pair of my jeans with her breast free to my hungry eyes. My dick hardens to its full 8in length as I watch her slide them down her curvy inviting hips as her shaved mound comes into view I let out an audible gasp, now I should have seen it before when she was naked but I was so mad & worried that the asshole with the knife would hurt her that I paid no attention to her nude bound body. She sees the delight in my eyes as her most secret region is on display before my eyes & laughs at my reaction. She drops the jeans to the floor & reaches down to grab a hold of my boxers & pulls them off with one swift motion. Now it’s her turn to gasp as she sees my erection for the first time. Now I’m no porn star or long dong silver but I’m at least better than average with a length of 8in & a thickness of about 2 1/2in needless to say I’ve never had complaints about my size & from the look on her face I don’t see one coming now either.
As we stare at each other’s nude bodies I start to hear a moaning sound coming from outside our tent, from the blush on Tirana’s face I can tell she hears the same thing. We look at each other & I yell “Hey, shut the hell up over there I’m trying to take a nap!” James doesn’t miss a stroke from the sounds we hear as he yells back “Hey you shut the hell up I’m trying to fuck my girlfriend over here!” Everyone burst out laughing at his offhand comment. Tirana looks at me & says well we might as well do the same cause from what I hear they aren’t going to chill for a while. I just smile back at her & say I’m game if u are sweetie. She crawls up my body & kisses me deeply as I feel her fingers grip the base of my dick as she rubs it along her warm wet pussy. We moan into each other’s mouth as we feel the head slip into her narrow slippery opening. She start to slowly slide down my rock hard cock until I feel myself bottom out inside her, now I’ve felt myself do this before but I still had an inch to go before I was all the way inside of her. She looks down into my eyes with a look of surprise & says there is still more! Oh my god, I’ve never felt this full in my life!
I look into her eyes & say “Do you want me to take over hunny, or do u like to ride what you got already?” She looks into my eyes & says “I want u to pound that whole thing into me!” I roll her over onto her back & gently but firmly push another half inch into her as I feel her cervix open to my intruding cock head & her scream “oh god yessss!” I push again & feel my head pop into her uterus & her body starts to tremble as her orgasm overcame her. I gently start to fuck my cock in & out of her willing pussy as she is lost in the extensity of the feeling in her body. I slowly speed up my actions & get the reward of a long guttural moan from her as she is swept up into another body quaking orgasm. The feeling of her pussy & womb both trying to milk my dick dry are having a very welcome effect on me as I’m rapidly approach the most mind blowing cum of my life. I say to her not really knowing if she hears me or not that I’m about to cum. As I say this she yells “Inside me, do it inside!” I proceed to dump all my cum as deep as I can into her womb her face locks in what I’d say is a priceless expression as she feel me fill her womb to bursting with my hot seed.
We collapse still locked in place panting as we hear James yell shut her up I’m trying to sleep & then burst out laughing with Jenna. We take a minute to recompose ourselves & then I start to withdraw my limp cock from her pussy’s embrace, Tirana wraps her arms around me & holds me to her saying “No don’t pull it out yet, please” almost on the point of tears. I kiss her passionately & say “I’ll stay here as long as u want me to Ti.” We continue to stay locked in a lovers embrace as we hear James & Jenna come out of their tent & start to unload the cars. I say “Baby I’d love lay here with u all day but we still have work to do.” She unlocks her arms & grunts as I remove myself from her looking down at my still semi-erect dick as it exits her body, then she does something that catches me off guard & inhales my whole dick into her mouth & throat cleaning off all traces of our sexual encounter from minutes before. As she moans yummy around my dick I feel her tongue licking all around the shaft & head of my dick. I feel myself start to harden in her hot wonton mouth & say “Sorry baby but I’ve got to go help get camp set up for the night so please stop for now.” She removes her mouth from my cock & says “Ok, but later this is all mine.” while squeezing my dick with her hand.
We get dressed & exit the tent just in time to see James pulling out his “stash”. I walk up behind him & say “What you got there bro?” James turns around with this guilty look & says “Nothing.” while avoiding my eyes. I look over his shoulder & see a gallon zip lock bag full to the limit with some of the best pot I’ve ever seen. I get kind of upset & yell at him “WTF! James I told u only important things damn it!” He gets the face of a scolded child & says “It’s not what you think man!” I say oh yea then what is it? He explains that if the world really is going to hell then we will need something to trade other people for things we will need later like more ammo, food, & gas. I calm down & say “Ok, I’m sorry for yelling at u then, I didn’t think of something like that.” He cheers up & says “Hey this is just for fun pot I have seeds for the trading pot we will need.” I look at the girls & they both are smiling from ear to ear so I give in & say “Ok I know when I’m out voted.” Everyone cheers happily & we finish unpacking.
Now he might be a pothead but James isn’t stupid I see that he got more things I didn’t think of like his complete tool kit for working on the cars or building things we need, two axes, 3 hammers, about ten boxes of nails, an electric drill, an air compressor, pots, pans, & table settings for us to use. Now that we have everything unpacked & hidden around camp we all sit down to talk about where we go from here. I ask anyone if they have ideas about what they want to do, they all say “You’re the one that got us out of the city & safe up here so we trust u to decide what’s best for us to do.” I say “Ok that makes me leader right?” they all agree & I say “Ok then here is the rules everyone is to be armed with a loaded gun at all times, this morning’s incident made me see that we all need to be able to protect ourselves at all times, now the next rule is no one is alone ever, until we know this place is safe & none is here that will hurt us, the last rule you don’t point a gun at anything you’re not willing to kill, now James I know u know this but I’m guessing the girls have limited or no experience with firearms so we will start teaching them to shoot a.s.a.p.” I then look at the girls & they look nervous about learning to shoot. I tell them “I’m not doing this because we will make you hurt stuff or go with us to dangerous places, I’m doing it cause while we are hunting or gone to get things we need u will have to protect each other & I would feel better about it if you both knew how to defend yourselves, Ok?” they both nod their head & seem to calm down quite a bit.
Me & James look at each other & grin really wide as look at the girls they give us a look like “Ok, what’s up?” we both count to 3 in our heads & yell “Now for our camping party” the girls both crack up laughing as me & James pack his bong he brought with him & take a big hit. The girls both hold their hands out wanting a turn so I pass it to Jenna, Tirana looks hurt & I say “Sorry baby, she was next in line” then she smiles at me as she knows it wasn’t personal. We all sit around & smoke about three bowls of weed then we get the munchies so we destroy a lot of snacks the girls got this morning. After we are all good & high it’s starting to get dark to I say it’s time to light the fire so I get the girls to set & watch me set it up, I show them how to make the tender easier to light, how to build it up from tender, twigs, small sticks, then the larger one then a log so it burns all night, they watch in rapt attention as the fire slowly got bigger & warmer, minute by minute. As they watched the fire I got James off alone & said “Dude we need to take turns keeping watch tonight if other people are worried they will head for the mountains to & we need to be prepared if someone turns up around here.” He agrees & I say “I’ll take the first watch tonight so he can get Jenna to sleep then get some rest for himself to.” We tell the girls its bed time & we will be up before dawn the next day. He & Jenna retire to their tent as Tirana walks up to me saying “Come to bed hunny.” I explain to her that someone needs to watch the camp for a few days to make sure we are safe & she says, “Well I’ll stay with you then.” I try to tell her to get some sleep but she uses my own rules against me & says “No one is left alone from now on remember?” I can see I’m not going to win so I concede & say “Ok, you can stay”
We go sit in my truck with the radio on to hear the latest news, its worse than expected all of the coastal cities are destroyed by a massive 120ft tall tidal wave & all low laying areas are under 20 to 40 feet of water. Then Tirana hears the news I’ve tried to hide all day, the fault lines in California had been hit hard & caused a massive landslide that took almost all of the state into the water, the only part out of the water is where the desert use to be. Tirana broke down sobbing saying that she knows her parents are dead they lived in Malibu so they had no chance of escape; I hold her in my arms & let her cry on my shoulder. As she is sobbing we hear of the riots happening globally & the reports of mass #s of casualties numbering in the billions first from the natural disasters then from the killing of people thing to stay home & be calm from rioting groups of rebellious people, I see our position finally hit on Tirana face & she turns while as a sheet. I hold her & tell her as long as I’m alive no one will hurt her again & that tomorrow we will make this place into a fortress if we have to, that seems to calm her down some & she just snuggles in to me to feel safe.
The night turns out to be uneventful & 4 hours later I wake James saying to stay in his jeep & honk if he needs me, Jenna is still sound asleep when he get up & arms himself to take watch. As we lay down Tirana says she wants to think me for taking care of her & protecting her from all this shit as she removes my pants & starts to suck on my dick while I relax, I try to tell her that it’s not needed & id protect her even without the sex we had earlier that day. She just keeps sucking until I’m hard as stone then removes her mouth to speak, “I’m not doing this because I feel I have to Cory, I am doing it because you are a wonderful man who welcomed three people into his life at a point where most people are just thinking about themselves.” Then she returns my cock to her mouth & sucks on it again moaning cum for me without taking my dick out of her mouth, which has the effect of vibrating my dick while sucking & mouth fucking herself with it. I start to get to the point of cumming very quickly & say baby I’m about to blow if u keep doing that. She responds by sucking harder & fondling my balls with her hands while she deep throating me at the same time, I gasp as my climax hits me hard & my leg start to shake as she suck & drinks all the cum she can out of my body. As my orgasm subsides & I start to regain control of my body I hear James calling me from outside. Tirana lets my spent dick fall out of her mouth & I pull my pants on & walk out of my tent a gun in each hand. As I exit I see to teenage girls standing in front of the jeep with James pointing a shotgun at them, I stick my head in & call Tirana to come out & holler for Jenna to come out to. The girls join me & just like I’ve told them this morning they each are armed with rifles I tell the girls to put the guns down & come here.
Tirana walks over to me & asks what up? I tell her to fallow me & do everything I say, she just goes ok. Jenna stands at the tents with her rifle still handy as Tirana & I walk over to the girls. As we approach the girls start to tremble seeing four people armed to the teeth around them. I speak in an authoritative manner & tell the girls to drop their belonging & place their hands on their heads, they comply & I tell James to bring the stuff to camp as me & Tirana bring the girls there. When we reach the camp I tell Jenna to look for any weapons in their stuff as I tell Tirana to pat them down as me & James keep them covered. She pats down the older looking girl first & retrieves a large belt knife from the back of her pants; she tosses the knife to me & starts to repeat the process with the younger girl. She finds nothing & I tell the girls to go warm up by the fire where we can talk. They visibly calm down after this & walk over to it arm in arm. I ask Jenna if there was anything in their bags & she replays no just cloths & a small amount of food.
We walk over to the fire, I put my guns away but James keeps his at the ready, I ask the girls their names & they replay that the older one is Rebecca, & the younger is Alyssa, they are sisters & their father died getting them away from a mob 3 towns over to the west. I asked y they didn’t go to any of the towns & they said the first one had locked down all the roads in & out & wouldn’t let anyone in that wasn’t from there. The other two scared them cause of gunfire they heard coming from them, so they were just going to stay in the mountains a few days then try to find some place safe to live. I told them that they could stay here but that if they hurt anyone or tried to run off with telling anyone we would have to shoot them cause we were hiding trying to keep from attracting any unwanted attention they agreed & said if we would let them they would stay with us, as they put it we were a lot better prepared than them so if they stayed with us they might live longer. I said for the night it was no problem but we would have to think about it as a long term thing.
I told Tirana & Jenna to empty out one tent & let the sisters sleep there with a sleeping bag & give them a soda & snack each to rehydrate & fill their bellies as I could hear that rumbling. Tirana emptied up our tent as it was the one with the least in it & I had her take a sleeping bag for her in the truck & lock the doors when she laid down. Jenna took her & James’ sleeping bags to the jeep & crawled in with him. I stayed awake the rest of the night keeping watch. At dawn I woke everyone up & handed out M.R.E.s to them for breakfast as we would need the energy for our upcoming day. Everyone ate in silence, after the meal I told everyone we had to talk.
“Ok, now Rebecca, Alyssa, you are new here so this is more to u then anyone but, I’ll explain what’s going on here & let you give your feedback after I’m done. I explained all the events of the previous day leaving out some personal details they didn’t need to know. Afterwards I said “Now after everyone has slept & ate I’ll ask this one question who is in favor of letting them stay with us at least for the time being?” We all raise our hands & the sisters get teary eyed & start crying saying “Thank you so much.” I tell them I’m sorry for the reception last night but they scared the hell out of us & we needed to make sure it was safe for them to be there. They said they understood after what they had seen yesterday how we needed to be cautious. Rebecca did ask one unexpected question however, “Why did u have the women search our stuff & us instead of you guys?” I told her that it wouldn’t have been appropriate for a guy to search through a girls things without her permission & to search her body would be out right wrong. All the girls got this dreamy look in their eyes & went “awe”, James just laughed & said “Your still doing that shit huh?” I laughed & said I guess so. The girls all looked perplexed & said “Doing what?” I told James to explain while I went to piss. I walked off & James started explaining. He told them, “Cory & I went to school together & he has this weakness for women not in the sense of wanting to fuck everyone he meets its more of a compulsion to help & take care of women. Now it’s not that he doesn’t think they can take care of themselves but he feels that it’s his place as a man to make sure the women around him are happy & safe from things that could hurt them. He gets it from how he was raised by his dad, I meet his dad & know for a fact that he was strict about how a man should act to be a “real man” in his opinion, Cory took those words to heart & lives his life by a very strict code, first he would never hurt a woman unless his life or another’s was in danger, second, he will never take advantage of his helping them to use them in anyway even sexually, third, any man that hurts a woman around him will be meet with the harshest of penalties he can use & with the world as it is that would mean either beating the holy hell out of them or outright killing him on the spot depending on what he has done.” I am standing behind the girls as he finishes explaining & said “You got any questions girls?” The girls about jump out of their skin when I speak & all four heads whip around to me.
Tirana runs to me & hugs me saying “You really meant it last night when u said you saved me for nothing, didn’t you?” The sisters look at me they ask “What do you mean Tirana?” Tirana tells them the story of how I came in my house & blew that guys fingers off for hurting her & the sisters just swoon at the story. I tell everyone enough story time it time for work but first we need to finish talking. I spell out the plan for everyone saying that I’m going to take the sisters into town to get them some necessitates they will need for living off the land like their own tent, everyone laughs at this & I give the others their orders to make the camp more secure & bigger so the sisters don’t have to worry about being too far away from help if they should ever need it. I kiss Tirana & tell James if the girls get hurt there will be hell to pay when I get back he laughs & says yea I know man you will beat my ass if I let them get hurt. I take all the stuff out of my truck but 1 box of 9mm ammo & me & the girls leave for town. We reach the town with no problem & I find the local outdoor outfitter & tell the girls to stay in the truck with the door locked till I know it’s safe. I walk over to the door & push it open gently & peek inside, all I see is a dead body & all the guns gone. I walk in with my pistol drawn & cocked to make sure no one got the drop on me. I look all over the inside of the store but find no one around. I cover the dead clerk with a sleeping bag & go get the sisters; they walk in & say “What do we need?” I point out clothing they will need & tell that to grab whatever weapons, food, & things they think could help us. I garb all the fishing gear I see, a bunch of fire starting tools, rope to make traps & help us build with, more nails & tools, another axe, 4 machetes, 10 pairs of binoculars & a few extra tents in case we get more guests we don’t plan for. I load the truck & find that the girls have taken every knife they saw, 12 bows, 40 boxes of arrows, every hunting arrow tip they saw, all the winter gear they saw, & all the sleeping bags but the one I wrapped the clerk in. we pulled off from the store & sped our way back to camp. We arrived at the camp just after lunch & found everyone setting down eating waiting on us. I parked the truck & Tirana was the first one to my door obviously happy at my return, the three of us get out & I explain how the outdoor store was looted & the clerk killed to everyone, then stated “We will not be going back to town for a while except to find some seeds & food to hide up here, me & James decide to go after we ate & unloaded the truck. He would take his car & I would take the truck so we could everything we could this one shot & not return for quite some time.
The meal was M.R.E.s again everyone ate being happy & joking around like nothing was wrong, then Tirana asked me “What should us girls do while u buys are gone?” I told them “You have three jobs while we were gone, one hide the newly acquired stuff in the woods around camp, two get cleaned up as in bath & play in the stream, three stay safe, I don’t want you girls to come running up if u hear a car, go hide & not in the tents I meant the woods around here, wait till they see both of us & one of u should stay armed at all times while we are gone.” After that I kissed Tirana & said “You girls be good & we will be back soon.” Then we left, James was armed with a 9mm, a box of ammo, a belt knife, & a shotgun with a box of extra shells. I had my two 9mm, a belt knife, a 30-30 rifle with a scope & a bow with 20 arrows, I meant us to be able to fight off just about anything we ran across & wanted to start shit. We drove into town & saw the jewelry store was cleaned out, so was the liquor store, we hit the drug store next & found a surprise no one had hit it yet, me & James cleaned out everything that could be useful like bandages & first aid stuff then we saw the pharmacy & grabbed everything including a drug book so we knew what they were for if we needed them in the future. After we loaded my truck with all this we were about out of room in it. James saw a moving company down the street so we went there & he “traded” his jeep for a large moving van, we could come back for his jeep he needed but I didn’t think we would that van would be a lot more useful now then his wore out jeep. We threw all the stuff from my truck into his & went looking the hardware store.
We found the hardware store as empty as the rest of the town & just grabbed everything that could be helpful. 2 electric generators, 5 more 25 gallon gas cans, at least one of every kind of tool they had, all the copper & p.v.c. pipe we found, all the fittings for them, extra propane canisters for the blow torches we need to put them together, saws & blades, 20 bags of concrete, fiberglass insulation, a whole roll of carpeting, all the food seeds in the store & plant food, plus all the wood we could stack into both trucks, we leave the store & hit the closest gas station we see, as we pull in I see someone drag a small girl into the store with her fighting to break free. I look at James & he nods his head & runs to the back with his shotgun in hand, I pull my 9mm & walk in the front, I see a grubby looking guy holding a teenage girl with a knife at her throat. I point my gun at his face & say calmly to let the girl go now or ill blow his brains out, he looks at the gun in my hand & says “You’re joking” then he hears the pump shotgun in James’ hands as he says “Drop that knife before we spread u all over this damn store!” He looks scared shitless as he realizes that we have him out gunned & outnumbered, he slowly removes the knife from her throat & lets her go, I tell the girl to come here & as she starts to move he raises the knife to stab her. James & I both shoot him at the same time I hit his forehead & James hits right at his neck taking his already dead head off his body. The girl just screams & runs into my arms, I tell James to grab the stuff in the store & load the cab of the moving van while I fill the gas cans & trucks up. I put the girl into my truck & tell her she is safe & we will take to our camp so she won’t have to worry anymore & smile at her, she is still in shock & doesn’t respond. We finish our business & start our drive back to camp.
We pull up at camp & I can see the girls did just as told & hid when we approached. I got out & called to the girls to come help me they came running when they saw me holding a girl in my arms sobbing & shaking. I held her in my lap as they got her some water & a snack to eat. She just sobbed into my chest saying “Please don’t hurt me.” Tirana asked what happened to her & I told her the story about the guy holding her in the gas station & trying to kill her, I made sure to tell them all if James & I hadn’t killed him he would have stabbed her in the chest. She looked up saw all the girls & said “Am I really safe here?” They all answered that with me here she couldn’t be safer.
