Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke Kindle の小説・ストーリー

Calvin took a deep breath, his shoulders sagging slightly as if the weight of the world had just settled on them. Then he spoke. “Because our Pack is dying.” I blinked, caught off guard. “What?” His expression was grim. “The Obsidian Pack is dying, Kamrynn.” His voice was hollow, filled with a deep, unbearable weight. “We’ve been cursed. The land is barren. Our food supply has run out. There hasn't been rain in months, the rivers have dried up. Wildlife has vanished. And the people—” His throat tightened. “They’re sick. A strange disease is spreading through them, one we don’t know how to cure. They’re starving.”

"Normal, my foot! I told you again and again, it's dangerous out there. I kept emphasizing it! And you still went! You screwed up this badly and still have the nerve to come back?" His voice was harsh, full of frustration, but he still pulled them closer. It seemed that he wasn't about to abandon them after all. Laurel quickly spoke up. "We know we messed up, but it's true that things outside are getting better! An entire city's been cleared of zombies. People are living there again. They're working and going to school. There are even grocery stores, shopping centers… Everything! You should come with us!" Kieran and the others frowned, disbelief written all over their faces.

We haven't gotten to that hole yet but there is no doubt that things were bound to change regardless of what might her been done. Everyone keeps saying that the worstvhebfqn say is no, but I still haven't gotten an idea on what type of No he is talking about. Alot of the things that we say on a regular basis cannot be overemphasize and even at that we still haven't gotten the ideal record that we hate.

I stood alone in the kitchen, my coffee getting cold, wondering what the hell just happened. Did we just have our first almost-civil conversation? Was that progress? Or was I setting myself up for more disappointment?

My phone buzzed again and, talk of the devil, it was a message from him. How bad is the damage? I typed back. You might need a second kingdom. Three dots appeared before his message popped up again. Spend more. I shook my head. Ridiculous man. My ridiculous man.

Something is definitely wrong. I start walking faster, we have had so many things going right for us the last few weeks, we are due for a shake up and I hope this is it and it’s something small. We can’t take anything else emotionally draining right now. Our pack members are still recovering from the last attack and all the changes that have happened since.

I wished I could stay there forever. It had been two days since our last conversation. I had woken up that day hoping that the conversation would go well and we would get to a conclusion, that I would leave with a heart as light as it was before everything happened, but none of that had happened. The conversation had not gone as planned, we hadn’t gotten to a conclusion and my heart had never been heavier.

I cut him off with a sharp tone, my frustration was evident, and their laughter echoed in response. "Please don't hesitate to share with us what's troubling you. I understand that you believe we're a negative influence, but in reality, your behavior is even more detrimental than ours." Calvin's words hit me like a ton of bricks, and I felt my chest tighten as I struggled to take a deep breath. The thing that once captivated me now seemed dull and lifeless, and I couldn't muster up any excitement for it anymore.

The last time was from my mother before she died. Car doors open and slam closed around me, jolting me from my train of thought.

I returned my gaze to my phone. Tim: Yeah. It is cold again. Cynthia: I really loved the cuddling of the other night. Tim: As did I. Cynthia: How have you been? Tim: I'm okay. How are you? Cynthia: I'm good. Seems you've been really busy. How I could tell her the last time we chatted, her last message had felt like a frost thorn against my heart? Tim: I have. Seems you've been busy as well.
