Chapter 61: Dock Side

Sadie managed to get the smoldering fire lit again. It took her a few tries, and she nearly put out the embers by accident, but in the end the fire was burning just fine. After refilling the pot with water, she placed it over the fire and waited for it to boil.

Watching the motionless water in the pot she grumbled to herself. "Well, this sucks! I am stuck out here in the middle of nowhere, living in this crappy building with someone I barely even know. I got no warm water, no snacks and nothing to do."

Sadie sighed and looked around the area. From where she was sitting all she could see were the rusting, decrepit buildings, old rusting cars and the ruined town beyond.

"Why did I ever get sent to this horrible place?" Sadie continued thinking. "If the Association didn't offer a signing bonus to come here, I wouldn't have. Also, if the Arena were out there in town I would have quit. This place is a dump!"
