Chapter 6

Author: Bros Before Prose
"Ross, are you trying to watch me humiliate myself? If I piss my pants, it's the whole Chambers family name going down the drain!"

I caved in the end, but mostly because I was afraid his screaming would turn the entire crowd against us.

"Fine. Make it quick."

I walked with him carefully up to the second floor. The wind howled around us, cutting straight to the bone.

When we reached the employee break room, the door was locked. It took everything I had to kick it open. Inside, there was indee

    The rescue workers immediately brought out breaching tools.A few minutes later, the fire door was forced open. The rescue workers charged in with high-powered flashlights."Found him! He's in here!"I followed a few others inside.Logan was not dead. Whether it was dumb luck or the fact that the warehouse was large enough to sustain enough oxygen, he had survived. He was sitting in a pile of down comforters.The bright light hit his face, and he instinctively shielded his eyes with his hand."Is it... Is my ride here?" He stood up and ran a hand through his disheveled hair. "I knew it. I knew my girlfriend wouldn't leave me hanging. My steak and my bag need to come with me. I'm not sitting in a regular seat. I want business class. And someone get me a cigar."The rescue worker stared at him for a moment, baffled by this rambling man."Sir, we need to move. It's dangerous out there. Forget your belongings.""Forget it?" Logan's eyes went wide. "That's everything I own! With th

    The manager's face went pale. "What the hell are you talking about?!""I saw it!" Logan would say anything to redirect the mob's fury. "Last night, I saw him sneak a barrel of fuel into his office from the warehouse! He's in there eating and drinking while the rest of us freeze to death out here!""That selfish bastard!"Dozens of people surged toward the manager's office. The manager tried desperately to block them, but the frenzied crowd shoved him to the ground and trampled right over him."Don't go in there! The door on that side is broken! You can't open it!"However, nobody listened.The moment the crowd broke through the office door, there was no warmth waiting for them, no food either. The office windows had shattered long ago, and the inside was just as cold as everywhere else.The office door connected to a warehouse corridor, and the warehouse's rear exit had been blown open during the blizzard. Now that the office door was open too, it created a massive wind tunnel.

    "Rescue?"Everyone who heard him froze."That's right, rescue!" Logan straightened his back."My girlfriend's family has connections. She's sending a modified off-road vehicle to pick me up. Initially, it was just for me, but I'm a generous guy. I can tell the driver to take a few more people. But..."He deliberately dragged out the last word, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. "Space is limited, so the old, the sick, and the weak are out of the question. They'll only slow everyone down. And anyone who gave me attitude earlier... I'll have to think about whether they deserve a spot."The manager frowned. "Mr. Chambers, the blizzard outside is intense. Can a vehicle really make it through?""Are you questioning me?" Logan let out a cold laugh and pulled a black and gold card from his bag, flashing it around. "See this? It's a supplementary card from my girlfriend. No spending limit. Can you people even imagine the kind of connections someone at that level has? If she says it's co

    The glowing red heating element dimmed rapidly.Logan quickly plugged his fast charger into the outlet and connected his phone. He opened his social media feed, uploaded the screenshot of his pentakill from earlier, and started typing a caption.[Stared death in the face, but your boy's still standing. A real man fears no storm. #ApocalypseSurvivor #BuiltDifferent]Without the heat source, the asthmatic old man inhaled a lungful of cold air and broke into a violent coughing fit."Ahem... Ugh..." His coughing grew more and more strained."Dad! Dad, what's wrong?" His daughter came back from the bathroom and nearly lost her mind at the sight.She rushed over and touched the space heater. It was cold."What did you do?" The woman lunged at Logan.He was so startled that he dropped his phone and shouted, "I was just charging for a second! My girlfriend needs to reach me! It could be a life-saving call!""You unplugged my father's lifeline! I'll kill you!"The woman threw herself

Make it quick."I walked with him carefully up to the second floor. The wind howled around us, cutting straight to the bone.When we reached the employee break room, the door was locked. It took everything I had to kick it open. Inside, there was indeed a private bathroom. It was frozen over too, but at least it was more dignified than the plastic bins downstairs.Logan rushed in and slammed the door shut.I stood outside while shivering, urging him, "Hurry up! It's freezing up here!""Stop rushing me! I need to fix my hair. The wind messed up my gel." His irritated voice came from behind the door.A sharp crack suddenly came from the direction of the windows. I turned to look and felt my stomach drop."Logan, get out here! The window's

    "Are you insane?" I hissed at Logan. "Those clothes are for people to wear!""They're all cheap knockoffs, like 20 bucks a piece. Who'd want to wear that?" Logan said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Burning them is the best use for them. Compared to ruining my shoes, those rags are worthless."Unbelievably, some people actually wavered.A few young guys who were freezing beyond their limits ran over, grabbed an armful of cotton T-shirts and dress shirts, and tossed them into the fire pits. The flames shot up instantly. The clothes burned much better than the damp wooden pallets, and the smoke was lighter too.Logan stretched his arms smugly. "See? Told you it was a good idea. Cheap junk like that is only good for kindling."Yet from the corner came a fit of violent coughing. It sounded like an elderly man with asthma."Don't... Don't burn the synthetic ones... They're toxic..." the old man's daughter cried out.Someone had tossed in a few polyester tracksuit
