SoC, Autumn Aurora 2.1
It looked like things had finally settled down over on the south side of the Garbage pile, so I grabbed the broken MP5 I got of one of them stick-up boys and headed back towards the Cordon. Fat Sid owed me for bumpin' off two bandits over on eastside of Garbage so while I'm there I can get him to look at this subgun. I don't really like SMGs but I knew from experience it was useful to have good working guns in all the common calibers.
So anyways, the sun was goin' down so I hightailed it down the road. Uneventful 'til I got to the abandoned railroad bridge. Well, it wasn't abandoned no more. About five hard-lookin' military guys. I guess they got wise someone iced their boys when they didn't show up for dinner. I didn't have nothing to do with that though. They was all already dead when I came through the first time, buncha dead bandits with 'em too. Anyway it was gettin' dark and all I had was a flashlight and they looked like they were lookin' for someone so I went hard to the east and just headed across that field, you know, in the dark. Thought I was fine till right where the part where I jump the track a bunch of ol' dogs got on to me and scared the life out of me. I ran and jumped over the tracks, I could hear their teeth chompin' right behind me. I musta went through a hotspot 'cause when I come out on the south side of them tracks I was just sicker than I've ever been and them dogs weren't nowere around me. I thought I was gonna die right there just sittin' on the grass in the dark by them train tracks.
Well I lay there Lord knows how long, I dug in that first aid kit I had and took all the pills that was in it, washed it down with a bottle of vodka, and I lay there just a thrashin'. I couldn't see for nothin'. The moon was out but it was fixin' to storm. I lay there till it had started to rain on me and I felt like I could get up so I did. I creeped through the brush till I come up behind that old bus stop then I was ok. Got to the village and got fixed up then a big ol' blowout came so I stayed under that village for the night. So anyway that was that night.
