Chapter 22

“We are visitors from the war.”  I called out.

“The war?  Please leave.”  The voice shouted as another shot passed by our ears.

“We are here to find the buffer zone.”  Acchan calmly stated as a light was becoming visible.

“Please leave before I actually shoot you guys.”  She warned but Sayaka saw the female in her underwear with a rifle in hand.

“We won’t shoot.”  I dropped my weapon in front of her as the two did the same.

She looked at the weapons and we looked down the barrel.

“I don’t have food for us.”

“We just need shelter.”  Sayaka stated staring at the woman.

“Fine!  Don’t steal from me.”  She protected the small bits of berries and cooked pieces of fish behind her.

We moved our weapons to one side of the opening as we sat around the fire.

There was a silence sprinkled with the waves crashing from outside.

My eyes began to flutter and collapsed to the ground.
