Too Late

Sheloah felt happy and nervous at the same time. She was happy that she was with her mom, and she was nervous because she might be harmed. As much as possible, she wanted her mom to be safe.

They were about to finish filling up the cart when her mother suddenly looked at her. "You'll push the cart while I take a look around us," she said and Sheloah shook her head in disapproval.

"No. You push the cart and I'll watch our backs," she said and her mother giggled slightly.

"Then I'll be under your care for the meantime," she said then she smiled at her daughter.

Sheloah looked around as the two were walking slowly.

There were a lot of zombies who were now looking at them suspiciously. The others were even about to approach them.

Sheloah smelled herself and noticed that their scent was almost gone. Sheloah was alarmed so she went close to her mother then whispered.

"Mom, no matter what happens, just keep calm," Sheloah said then her mother looked at her.
