Day 2

I woke up in the living room, and yet another complete silence. Gosh, I forgot. everyone's missing. I could had sworn the day before was a dream. A bad dream. I looked around, and noticed the gun I stole from the police station. I grabbed it and take a few other weapons and prepare myself for a whole lot of looting today.

Let's see, crowbar. Check. Pistol, check. Rifle, check. Well, guess that's enough. I drove the car around looking for places to loot. I don't know what would be best. So, I was driving down the road, hoping to find a nice place. I walked into a convenient store. And I was browsing around and I noticed a shadow. What?! Someone's here? I readied my pistol and started chasing after that shadow. "Hey! Hey!", I yelled. But the shadow just moved very fast. I couldn't see whether it's human or not. I just chase after it. Things were knocked down. I hear cans dropping on the floor. But, I just ignored it and run after that thing.

My heart beat rose. Chasing after the unknown wasn't what I intended to do. But as soon, as that thing was near the door. It did not open. It just crash into it. "Thud" I rushed up to it with the gun aimed at it. Gosh, it was a dog. And there I was thinking that it could be a human. With careful examination, I saw that it was bleeding. a blood trail. I tried to move closer towards it. It barked at me. This was no small poodle. It's a German Shepherd. I looked at it's leg and there was this steel bar stuck into it. I tried to touch the German Shepherd while trying to pull that thing out. It was no use. Everytime, I tried to get close to it, it'll try to bite me. I guess it can't move anywhere now. with an injury like that, it couldn't even get up. I went around looking for some kitchen gloves, and some duct tape. Wearing the kitchen gloves on my left hand, I let it bite it while I wrestled to duct tape it's mouth so that it won't bite me any further.

After that, I went around looking for some bandages, Iodine and a wire cutter. I cut the steel bar at both ends and then, with a spanner, I grabbed one end of the bar and try to pull it out. It wasn't easy. Took me a while to pull it out. But that shepherd kept struggling as I was pulling it out. As soon as it was over, I dipped some cotton with Iodine and applied to it. I guess it does sting quite a lot And I bandaged that dog's leg. After that, I went around looking for the dog food section, and took a bowl from the shelf and a can of dog food. With a can opener, I opened it and pour it into the bowl. Leaving it in front of the dog to eat while, I went around looking for all my needs.

As soon, as I'm done, I went to the car and drove back. That night, I heard a dog barking outside my house. I turned on the lights and I saw that dog limping and barking at my house. I opened the door and it came towards me. Squatting down, I pet that dog on its head and think, maybe I can need some company. And rushed that dog into the house. I decided, this dog can be the only reason why I will continue to live my life as the last man on earth. I named it Hope.
