    ♔ — She flicked through her
               old pun book; still in the
               same condition it had 
               been handed to her in.

                 ❝Alright, here you go.

                           –I fear for the calendar, it’s days are numbered.❞

              A few seconds passed
             and young woman 
             squinted at the 
             words before her. 

                               ❝Psh. That’s stupid.❞

          “Stay the fuck back!”

    They caught her by surprise. She had not heard the creak in the stairs, the footsteps on the landing. She had been so drawn into the canned goods that were left stocked up in the cupboards that she had not noticed them enter.

    _{“Who the fuck listens to this?”}

_{“Huuuuuoooouuuaahaaa—”}

     _{“Where is everyone?”}

_{“Just one more comic and then i’ll s–”}

_{“Pbffft, no. Fuck that.”}           

    _{“This is so fucking stupid.”}

_{“Huuuuuoooouuuaahaaa–”}

    _{“Man, I actually slept alright.”}

_{“Huh, wonder if this thing still works…” She presses the button on top of the camera a few times, her gaze returning to a blank screen.} 

           _Nothing.

_{“Oh. Well I guess it was worth a shot.”}

_{“I wonder what candy tastes like.”}

_“Man…”

_{“Is this what they really had to do bac-” She pulls a face, squinting at the symbols printed on the paper. “What the hell does that mean?”}
