RUN!

Claudia carries her child in a blanket as I limp around with my broken leg. Tyler takes nothing as do most of us as we make our way in the dead of night.

"What happened to your siblings?" I ask Tyler and he avoids my question as we continue walking through the debris.

"They got killed," Tyler says and Claudia looks at him with pain in her eyes. "By?" I ask seriously. "I just tell myself that," Tyler says honestly, "so I don't go crazy looking for them all. My mother, father, brothers and sisters. They are gone and if I find them, that's fine but if I don't, they are dead." I nod in understanding, "We don't have time to mourn. My parents, my brother and you. I never got to mourn your loss. I was hiding and saving others along the way that I did not get the chance."
