QuickShot1445Again, to anyone who read this. If you lived in Boston or know the city, then I am sorry. I have never been to Boston, so this is all guesswork.

Earth Has Fallen Chapter 17: From House to House
Tristan: "Oh no you don't," Rebecca says, stepping forward and grabbing my hands. Pulling me toward her, I fall onto the roof. I have to ignore the pain in my arms. I push myself up and start to push the two. "Come on," I say, "Before they see us." Pushing them toward a window, I kick it open and check to make sure it's empty. Once I do a quick scan, I wave at them to climb in. Just as Rebecca jumps in, the infected from the previous house break into the room. They flood the room in only a matter of seconds and look around. They don't see us so they start to sniff the air. "Stay down," I whisper, peeking over as the infected start to search the room. A few dropping to their hands, they start to sniff the floor. Meanwhile, some of the infected break into the closet, and a few even look out the window. When they look out the window, they turn toward me and I duck down. Rebecca and Bailey looking at me, I shake my head and point down. The two of them nodding their head, I press my ea
Earth Has Fallen Chapter 18: The City's Limit
Tristan:I watch from the bedroom's window as the sun finally starts to rise. Its pale rays shooting in, I look toward the street at the infected all look at the sun themselves. Once they see it, most of them start to wobble inside the abandoned houses.A few infected tried to come inside the house but luckily, I blocked the front door with some old furniture. They push and push against the front door but to no anvil.The sun is still rising, a little more than halfway up now. Getting up from the floor, I carefully and quietly walk over to Rebecca and the package and wake them up."Get up," I say, hitting Rebecca on her legs. Yawning as she opens her eyes, she stretches her arms."Get up," I say, kicking the package in her stomach. Yawing as she pushes herself up from the floor, she adjusts her gas mask."Damn," Rebecca says."What's up," I ask, checking the outside."I'm running out of air," Rebecca answers. She pulls from behind her pack and starts to dig through it. She pulls out a
Earth Has Fallen Chapter 19: Lincoln's Town
Rebecca:Stepping over a fallen tree trunk, I land on the ground and watch as dust kick up. The dust gets all over my mask, and I have to wipe the lens."Hey Drifter," I say as soon as I can see again. "Where the hell are we going?""To Lincoln's Town," Drifter replies, stopping to look back at Bailey and me."Lincoln's Town," Bailey repeats. "What's that, and why are we heading there?""Lincoln's Town is where someone I know lived," Drifter answers while walking."You have a friend," I ask."I never said Lincoln is a friend," Drifter says. "Lincoln is someone I know who lived in Lincoln's Town.""Lincoln lived in Lincoln's Town," Bailey asks."It's not the actual name of the town," Drifter yells, "I don't know what the hell the town's real name is. I only called it Lincoln's Town because that's where Lincoln lived. We ran into each other when I was scavenging around his town. He almost shot me, and he told me if he ever saw me again, he would shoot me.""And we're heading back there,
Earth Has Fallen Chapter 20: Up
Tristan:"Up and at them," I say, pushing the package up through the hole in the ceiling."Here," Rebecca says, offering me her hand."Not yet," I say, looking around. Seeing a seat, I grab and push it until it's underneath the hole. Climbing onto it, I then grab Rebecca's hand but even with standing on the chair instead of jumping, I'm still too heavy. The package joins in and together, the two pull me up."How much do you weigh," the package asks, panting."It's not me," I answer, "It's the pack. I have a lot of canned foods. I have to consider there aren't any cafeterias out here.""Hey," Rebecca says, nudging her head. Immediately, the package and I hide behind some covers with Rebecca."So where exactly is this sniper nest," Rebecca asks."It's on the third floor," I answer, "Right outside the middle room.""Of course. The top floor. That means two more floors to go through.""How," the package asks, "I mean, I don't think we can take the stairs, and what the chances there's goin
Earth Has Fallen Chapter 21: The Crumbling Building
Bailey:Drifter scream as he falls through the top floor and back on the third."Holy shit," I yell as I step back. Watching as more of the floor breaks apart and falls, I have to jump through a window and into one of the rooms. Meanwhile, Rebecca runs back down the walkway."Are you okay," I ask from the window, waving away some sawdust."I'm fine," Rebecca yells, "But where's Drifter?"Hearing some groaning from below, I look down and see a silhouette in the dust cloud."Hey. Are you okay?"The dust cloud fading, and I can see the Drifter on his arms and knees. It takes a while but eventually, he's able to reply."Do I look okay," he replies, groaning like an old man as he pushes himself up. Back on his feet, he turns his head when he hears snarling. Looking down the walkway, we see a bunch of infected walking up the stairs and out of the rooms. They open their mouths and charge the second they see Drifter."Damn it," Drifter yells, pulling out a pistol."Run," I yell, "Don't fight,
Earth Has Fallen Chapter 22: The Loner
Tristan: "Get up now," the man screams, grabbing my arm and pulling me to my feet. Stumbling before I steady myself, I look back up to see Rebecca and Bailey still trapped on the second floor. "Jump," I yell, cupping my mouth. "Jump!" "You heard the man," Rebecca yells. She grabs Bailey's hand and together, the two jump from the second floor. The second they hit the ground, the man and I help them up, and altogether, the four of us run from the crumbling apartment. "This way," he yells, stopping and turning into a narrow alleyway. Running down the alleyway, we hear infected close behind us. As we exit the alleyway, the man stops suddenly. "What the hell are you doing," Bailey yells, "Why are we stopping?" "Because I don't want infected banging against my front door," the man replies. He digs through some vines growing on one of the alley's walls. As he digs around, I see some infected at the end. They stop for only a second before seeing us and charging. Raising my gun, looking
Earth Has Fallen Chapter 23: Negotiation
Chuck:"I'm Tristan," the old guy says. He nudges his head toward the woman with long black hair. "This is Rebecca. The girl you cuffed is named Bailey."I look at the kid with brown hair as she still struggles to break the handcuff."We came here looking for Lincoln," the old guy goes on, "We were hoping he could help us with something.""Help you with what exactly," I ask."Help us in getting a car," the kid answers.I couldn't help but laugh the second I hear that."No seriously," I say while laughing. "Why the hell are you people here?""We're serious," the woman says, "We need a car.""That's not funny a second time," I say. "Besides, even if I did have a car, which I don't by the way, why, oh why, in this god-abandoned world would I just hand it over to you three?""Because if you don't," the old guy says, "You'll be the one with the opened head."He looks toward the gun still in my hand."Go nuts," I say, letting go of the gun. "Blow my head off. I've already used two of my big
Earth Has Fallen Chapter 24: Shopping List
Tristan: "This is your base," I say, looking at all the weapons lined up on the walls behind stacks and stacks of books and magazines, the stacks begin surrounded by dozens and dozens of boxes. "Well, more or less," Chuck says. "There are three safe houses scattered throughout this town. This is the one I used the most, hence why it's the most stocked." As I examine the shotgun, I hear Bailey gasping and turn to her. I see her pointing at Chuck and now turn to him. "Hey," I say, running to try and stop him. We all watch as Chuck takes his mask off. Running to stop him, I fail and watch as he places his mask down on the table. "What," he says, revealing a rather young man's face with a little bit of a beard. He did looks older than Bailey but younger than Rebecca. Looking up and seeing our faces, he shakes his head. "Calm down, and don't go pulling out your guns. As I said, this is the safe house I used the most." He points past our head at something hooked up to a wall. "No wa
