The Mountain And The City: A Post-Apocalyptic Tale - Plot & Excerpts
Boyd calls out. No, I tell him. She's mine. ** The two of them are fast and it makes it hard to keep up. Buildings around us change from apartments to longer, wider ones and the streets become more open, more broken from the green things pushing through. As I fall behind breathing heavy air, Child disappears into the trees that have taken back this part of the city, a part which already had trees in the real times and that gave them a head start. The female disappears in after her. I try my best to push the panic away and run even faster. Less than a minute and I'm into the wood myself, surprised by how much sound comes to me. A family of winged beasts has made nest here, not the soft kind with soft bodies that chirp and sing, these are the ones that crawl with shiny wings and too many eyes, the buzzing and screaming and chewing kind. The noise is so loud I can't hear Child or the female running in front of me anymore and so I'm not sure which way to run.
