You didn't starve to death. I could not take it anymore. "Mom, do you know how I've been surviving this semester? On handouts from my roommate and digging through trash for leftover food! And today, if my advisor hadn't been kind enough to buy me a meal, I probably would've collapsed and ended up in the hospital!" I thought hearing about what I had been through might change her mind. Instead, she let out a scornful laugh. "So what, you're trying to brag to me about your good luck? How you ran into a nice roommate and a nice advisor?

i say "one day i hope to pay you back, or pay it forward. its people like you that help me keep my faith in humanity, Thanks again" "Stay safe, keep your awareness and be careful who you accept a ride from." he sounds gruff but smiles at me, i give him a wave and exit the truck, making my way back over to the tables where we met, its a bit cool and i open my bag to retrieve my hoody, to discover a bottle of water, a can of coke, a bag of lollies, a pack of cigarettes and $20, "for breakfast. be safe little one, until we meet again." the note says.

"That mistake led to Chloe and me getting gas poisoning. I was lucky to wake up in a haze and managed to carry my unconscious daughter out of there. "Chloe could've been saved, but Sheila had to play hero for her sniffly boyfriend, Jeff. She blocked the ambulance with her car and wouldn't let it pass."

“So what are we going to do?” Lennon asked himself, trying to think of a way to survive this messed up world, the difficulty of their mission went from 0 to 100 real fast with no warning. “We will learn how to survive.” Maya said, moving Noah away from her, after she noticed that he was uncomfortable sleeping in her lap.

Enzo hauled me through the frozen mud of the canal bank, his grip on my arm the only thing keeping me from slipping back into the black, oily embrace of the Calumet. My legs were useless, heavy pillars of numb flesh that dragged behind me like dead weight. The winter air, which had felt like a slap only minutes ago, now felt like a thousand needles being driven into my skin. "Don't... don't let go," I rasped, though I wasn't sure if the words actually left my throat. My jaw was locked, my teeth chattering with a rhythmic, metallic sound that echoed inside my skull.

He reached into his backpack with a conspiratorial grin and pressed a freezing cold, condensation-covered can into my hands. "For you! Ice-cold sparkling water. Found it hidden in the back of the freezer downstairs." He winked. "Drink up. It will help with the heat." In a 140-degree wasteland, a cold soda was worth more than gold. "This is too generous. Thank you." "Don't mention it, Eliza." Just as I was about to pop the tab, a violent, terrifying chill shot up my spine, making the hairs on my arms stand up. I whipped my head around.

Liam chuckled, shaking his head and gently tapped her shoulder, a physical contact she fortunately didn't flinch away from. “We are not going to be cut off by a blizzard, Calla,” he teased. “This isn’t the arctic. It’s hot all year. It rains like crazy, but the temperature is always good. That’s what the notes said, anyway.

Maybe I had a cat before, I've never had such a hard time having no memory, at least I never felt like not having memories was that bad at all. I came to a halt, a few seconds later the sky opens up in an intense cold rain. Water falls with intensity soaking us completely, our clothes are not suited for this kind of weather.
