Chapter 5 - Under the Moon

There are a group of dogs standing before us, looking with hungry looks on their eyes. I can see there are 2 Golden Retrievers, 1 Rottweiler, 2 Chihuahuas, and 2 Bulldogs. There are 5 other dogs that I don’t know the name. I’m not an expert of dogs, so I can’t tell some of dogs there. Those dogs keep standing and don’t move. They growl and bark over and over at us.

“Damn, man!” Billy shouts. I can’t blame him, anyone will shout if they are in this situation.
“Shut up, Billy! We have to walk back slowly,” dad instructs us. We start to move back slowly and carefully, trying to not attract their attention.

Suddenly, we hear barks from behind us. I turn around and see 3 dogs there, a Rottweiler, Dalmatian, and Siberian husky. It seems that these dogs are the ones that howling back then. This situation is bad. We’re surrounded by these vicious canines. What should we do?

Chapter 4 - Reunion

I walk out from my house. I’m quite sure that my dad is still alive. The question is, where is he? If I were dad, where would I go? Is he going further out or back to the city? It will be hard to find him, especially when no one is around to be asked. Night is only a few hour away, I should think fast.

After thinking quite much about this, I decide to head back toward the city. I’m sure dad doing the same thing like me. I bet he’s trying to find me and head to the city. I shall try to search for place to rest that I miss when I came here before.

I walk around house by house, calling out to my dad. But, no matter how hard I called, no reply can be heard. Most of these houses owner are dead. Their deaths are horrible and hard to explain, just like those in the city. It’s really relieving though, when I saw some of those houses fully empty without any trace of death body. That’s mean there are more survivors around. But, how come I haven’t met them at all?

The sun almost sets now. The sky is red like burning. It’s really beautiful. I exhale some air from my lungs. I can’t find dad before nightfall. It’s best to stop searching for now.

I look up to the western sky, gazing at the setting sun. Suddenly, a smoke come out and goes up to the sky. A survivor?! It must be! There was no smoke before. The smoke comes from the big park to the west.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

So I and all of the production crews of AFTERLIFE-The Series (which currently only me) wants to say...
