Searing Doomsday: I Crush My Holier-Than-Thou Sister Chapter 11
"Abandon you?" I laughed coldly and walked up to the bars. "In my previous life, when I called you begging for help, you did the exact same thing. You ignored me completely."What goes around comes around. If you'd shown me even a shred of kindness back then, you wouldn't be in this situation now.""What are you talking about? I don't understand.""You don't need to. You just need to know that you're capable of doing terrible things."I turned and walked away without another word. Even after I'd gone quite a distance, I could still hear Amber screaming behind me."Let me out! Please! I can't stay here! Let me out!"I had no intention of releasing them. Dad would be dead within days anyway.Medical resources were already scarce. Why waste them on criminals?Since Amber was such a devoted daughter, she could stay with him forever.A year and a half into the apocalypse, the sun finally set at night again. The world slowly returned to normal.But the heat-damaged soil would take

Amber kept trying to get a rise out of me, but I stayed calm."You won't be staying here much longer," I said."What are you talking about?"Before she could finish her question, Jared started walking in our direction. Amber's face brightened as she smoothed her hair and prepared to greet him properly. Then she froze as Jared walked right past her and bowed to me instead."Boss, you're on."I climbed onto the platform while Amber stared in complete disbelief, her mouth hanging open."I'm here today to expose something horrific that's been happening in our shelter. Even in the apocalypse, we can't abandon our humanity."We're not animals. We have ethics, we can think, we can choose to be better. That's why Jared and his team built this place."The moment I'd taken the stage, Amber's expression had turned to shock. Now, as my words sank in, horror replaced the shock.She started screaming and thrashing. "No! Please! Don't!"The video played anyway.The shelter mostly housed pr

Amber kept her word. Not only did she refuse to help me, but she actually tried to poison my food.She ground spoiled, heat-damaged food into a fine powder and mixed it into my meals. Fortunately, Richard caught it in time.Amber didn't know that every meal delivered to me went through inspection first. I could guess why she did it. She was terrified I'd expose her and Dad's secret, destroying the carefully crafted image she'd worked so hard to build.When Lucy found out, she chewed out the worker who'd let them into the shelter, then wanted to confront them directly. I thought about it for a moment, then stopped her."Beating them up and throwing them out would be too easy," I said. "She wouldn't learn anything from it. What she values most is her reputation. So I'm going to destroy it completely."Inside the shelter, Amber maintained her saint persona every day. During the day, she cared for Dad. At night, she snuck off to Derek's place.Everyone praised her as a devoted daught

"We didn't need your help to get here!" Amber stood rigid, her breath reeking of rot. She still seemed to think her body looked the way it used to.I held up a mirror to her face. Brittle blonde hair, skeletal frame, and sunken cheeks stared back at her. She recoiled in horror at her own reflection.I waved her away dismissively."Evelyn, you're living in luxury while Dad and I suffered!" Amber shouted. "Do you have any conscience at all?"She collapsed to the ground, sobbing hysterically. Within moments, a crowd gathered around us. After hearing her story, people started whispering and pointing at me accusingly.They had no idea they were only here because of me. Whether they could stay in this shelter depended entirely on what I decided.Once Amber had cried herself out, I leaned close and whispered in her ear."There was no food left at home. But you and Dad survived three months on something, didn't you? Don't think I don't know what you ate. You didn't even spare the bones.
Searing Doomsday: I Crush My Holier-Than-Thou Sister Chapter 7
Two weeks into the apocalypse, global temperatures climbed to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the underground garage stayed cool and comfortable.Jared returned with seeds and several plants that hadn't mutated yet. I didn't know where he'd found them, but the bruises covering his arms told me they'd worked hard to get them.I loosened the soil, watered the plants, and finally stopped to rest. Animals had already mutated, and fertilizer was useless, so everything had to be done by hand.On the video feed, Amber huddled in her cooling mat while Dad lay half-dead beside her. Their faces had sunken in noticeably. It had been two weeks since they last had a proper meal. That evening, after dinner, Jared and the other mercenary, Richard Wagner, headed out on patrol. Lucy shot me a mischievous grin. "Want to mess with your family a little?"I raised an eyebrow as Lucy pulled over her laptop and started typing rapidly. Within seconds, she'd connected directly to my family's TV.I po

Lucy and I opened two bottles of red wine, sat around the table, and watched the drama unfold with deep satisfaction. Tomorrow, the sun wouldn't set at all, and the temperature would just keep climbing.On the video feed, Amber wore only her sundress while fanning herself desperately. Carter Manor had been completely destroyed by the mob.Anything useful had been stolen, and everything else had been smashed to pieces. The house now stood empty and stripped bare.Dad staggered to his feet and collapsed onto the only remaining couch. Clutching her empty stomach, Amber went looking for food, but the fridge was completely empty."Dad, should we go out and buy something to eat?" she asked cautiously.She had no idea that chaos reigned outside. Supermarkets and stores had been completely looted. There was nothing left to buy."Material things don't matter. We have money, and that's enough," Dad said weakly."Dad, I'm hungry." She stared at him with wide, tear-filled eyes.To my surpr
