Countdown Until The End Of The World - Plot & Excerpts
Dec said. “I’m going to run downstairs and see if Lisa and Abe are home.” “Hurry up,” I said. I didn’t want him to be out of my sight, but I knew he wanted to check on them. He grabbed me for a hurried kiss, and then was gone. Even though the news was still blaring, a silence fell in our apartment once Dec was out of it. I felt terribly alone, and all I wanted was him to come back. To distract myself I started filling the rest of the water bottles and grabbed a green bag to start stacking them in. Once that was done I looked through the cupboards and started adding boxes of crackers and fruit. Once that was done, I felt like I was going even crazier than before. Stepping into the hall, I was stunned by the silence. I thought maybe there would be mass panicking by the other residents of the building, but it was just me waiting for Dec to return. The door across from us creaked open. Mrs. Gupti stared at me. I said her name, and she nodded slightly. She looked crushed, and I realised that she had nobody.
