"So what's the plan for today?" I mumble out while lighting a smoke, "Fuck if I know, could probably get some more work done on that pen" Red says only half paying attention. "Works for me". With that we walk out of the group that had gathered to see off Black ices hunting party, making are way towards the other side of the camp which was really more of a village at this point. "Just gotta duck in here for a minute buddy" I say stepping into my makeshift hut, I come out with a hammerstone and some wire "Should come in handy eh" Red nods in agreement. We make our way to the wood pile situated in front of Reds camp " Hey buddy where do you think your going with that!" I yell out to a guy in his early twenties walking off with an armfull of are wood. "Feeding my fire" he yells back. "Leave em alone" Red whispers "Fuck that we didn't spend all that time chopping wood for nothing" I mumble back. "How you gonna pay for that wood?" "I'm not" he starts chuckling. "Well fuck me eh" I think to myself, I walk up to him " Let's work something out buddy I don't wanna make a scene" I say as politely as I can, he rolls his eyes. "Don't do it Munfy" I can hear Red yell, at the same time I take my smoke out of my mouth shrug my shoulders than ping it into his face causing him to flinch while I simultaneously kick out his knee dropping him to the ground. "Don't ever steal from me or my buddy again, you need something just ask but you steal again & I''ll make sure everyone knows what happens to thieves" I whisper into his ear. "Now take the wood and get the fuck outta here" "Good to see your making friends" Red laughs sitting on a rock drawing plans in the sand. "I've already got friends, now lets expand this pen and get a shealter build for the old girl she looks like she might be pregnant judging by the size of her." I say walking past with an armfull of wood. After some time we finish the expansion making sure to include a small nearby brook so we don't have to carry water to her as well as building her a little shelter nicer than half the huts the other survivors have been living in. It's only around 12 in the afternoon by the time we'd finished we'd managed to get a lot done and it was about time for lunch. Fish had been pretty easy to catch since we landed, as morbid as it sounded all the bodies floating in the water had attracted a lot of good sized fish and the sandbars made spear fishing much easier I was nowhere near an expert but did well enough to supply lunch for Red and myself "I fished you cook sound good big fella" "No problem I'm a better cook than you anyway" Red snickers. After our lunch we hung around the center of the camp for a bit talking with some of the other survivors and playing some poker with a deck of cards that I had found washed up on the beach, smokes were the most popular currency with the older members with pocket knives and other machined supplies used by non smokers, I liked playing but wasn't nearly as good as Red, he'd managed to clean up, we walked back with a couple pocket knives, some pots and pans not to mention that our supply of tobacco had grown quite a bit. Back at goat pen we did alittle more cleaning up and double checking on her shelter to make sure everything looked water tight, it appeared to pass inspection, and the old girl seemed to be getting use to our company and her leg had healed nicely. "So Red you give her a name yet or are we still thinking about eating her?" I muse smoke rings rising into the air. "I've been calling her Molly" he replies leaning back resting against a tree, thick smoke billowing from his mouth with each syllable. "She looks like a Molly doesn't she, hope she likes all the hard work we fid for her, speaking of which I think it's about time for an afternoon nap eh?" The words spilling out with the smoke as I fall back into the sunlit patch of grass with a smirk on my face letting the warmth of the sun cover me like a blanket I let out a deep sigh and drift off to sleep, the last thought crossing my mind "I don't even like boats why was I on a cruise" "Time to wake up Munfy" the voice says while I feel something kicking at my feet. I get up stretch and wipe the sleep from my eyes, "How long was I out?" I slur. "Alittle over an hour still plenty of daylight left so let's make the most of it" Red remarks while tossing me a smoke, I fumble with it for a second before getting it lit, nothing like a smoke when you wake up. I stumble over to a tree to take a leak, looking into the forest I spot what looks like some type of dog or maybe a coyote, good thing we reinforced that pen; I'm sure other predators have noticed the smell of goat that the wind must be carrying from this part of camp. I make a mental note to move my camp closer to Mollys pen so I can keep a better eye on her. My mind starts drifting, than I'm jarred to my senses when I hear Molly making some strange noises, fuckin dogs must be after her I take off toward the pen. Running into the shelter I'm surprised to see Molly isn't being attacked she's giving birth "Shit Red you gotta see this our heard just got bigger!". We decide to bring in a pot of water for her than leave her in peace. I tell Red about the dog I saw earlier and he decides to stay at camp near the pen while I go disassemble and move all my stuff closer it'll be a long night. |

Ya I really want to build a strong background world right now it's hard as were still in the beginning but I'm excited for later you'll see a lot more development with red and hopefully with different groups as well. |
