Chapter 35: Mom

March 8, 2030 09:09:14

Mom, Aunt Sarah:

How are you guys?

I'm 150 pounds now, 10 pounds heavier than when I first came in, because there was so little activity.

We are now allowed to move freely within the corridor area - this level only, and for confidentiality reasons I can't tell you how many floors we have and how many floors I have, though I'd love to.

There's still so little space to move around and I can only do some anaerobic exercises, so you can see I've been gaining weight.

Another reason may be that the proportion of starch in our food is too high. We suspect that meat may not be available at all in the future, as the supply is now getting scarcer.

I guess you and Aunt Sarah won't get any more meat than I do, I remember she was a big fan of barbecue. Hey Mom, if I succeed in this mission, all these problems will disappear now, and life will be the same as before. If one day I suddenly disappear, it means that the mission has begun, because no one can say when the mission will start.

I made a new friend, Nacheno, a Mexican, who lived next to me and taught me some Spanish during the day when I was outdoors. At night, when I can't sleep, I write poems or practice poker magic โ€“ that's what he taught me.

Are you all right? Tell me how you spend your day.

PS: The internet is back up, we have three hours of time to surf the internet every evening, and Asia is starting to spread this nightmare, do you see? At least now we don't have to worry about being killed by country Z or Russia.

Love you

Joey

Joey:

Joey Joey Joey~

I don't think I can wait for the day when the world will change for the better again.

Your Aunt Sarah, she goes out to the supermarket on the weekend to buy meat, and you know what? So she didn't buy anything.

And then, you know her, she drove to the farm. Just as the farmers were disposing of the carcasses of sick and dead cows, she went to ask if there was any beef to buy, and the farmers chased her, dressed in rudimentary defenses, while she took off her mask.

The next day she felt unwell and drove herself to the hospital and did not return. The hospital called me to inform me that she was infected. The devil knows if she got infected on the farm or in the hospital, all I know is that I got infected in the hospital, haha.

I know it's ridiculous, but you don't know what hospitals are like now, there are no doctors at all, just a bunch of soldiers in biochemical suits collecting bodies and burning them on the spot โ€“ the hospital has become a crematorium.

I went there yesterday and there was no order at all, the patients were everywhere, they were sitting in the hallways or lying in the wards, their eyes were half closed, you couldn't tell if they were dead or alive.

There was no way to find Sarah, and I exited as soon as I got to the bottom floor of the hospital, but I fell down the stairs and scraped my pants and knees - I guess that's what happened.

It was an accident child, I came home and I felt a headache at night, and I knew it was my turn. You ask us what we do every day, and we fight, complain, and get angry just like a normal couple. So I thought again that maybe it wasn't an accident.

I wanted to tell you last night but I have a hunch that you will write today, and the premonitions of dying people are very accurate, it's true, you see I really received your text message.

I'm glad you've made new friends, Spanish is a great language and I love listening to Spanish songs.

PS: Who can take out IS first in Asia or the Americas? Hopefully, that's what you're tasked with. I'm going to hell and smash their heads now.

PPS: Hopefully, homosexuals and murderers will go to the same hell.

ยท

Love you

Mom (not dead yet) and Sarah who died of craving.

PPPS: I probably won't text back, I have a stomachache and I don't have the strength to do it right now. Can you wind up the voice? I want to hear from you.

The following is a recording of the voice call

Mar 8, 2030 12:10:03

"Mom, I love you, woo, I miss you so much, I'm sorry not to be by your side at the moment, holding your hand, kissing your eyes, and telling you that you will go to heaven."

"Mommy, Mommy, are you there!"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

"Oh, Joey, how can you call?"

"The lieutenant and I went to the colonel, and he gave me permission to call you. Mom, woo woo woo ......"

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Ah, that's so nice, I miss you Joey. โ€

"I miss your mom too,, (choking)"

"Don't be sad child, listen to me......"

"Huh? (sobbing)"

"My, the computer password is my wedding anniversary with Sarah. I have a fund with United Securities, and if you have the chance, don't forget to claim it. โ€

"Uh-huh,,,"

"I, in the basement, have my and Sarah's jewelry, diamond rings, things like that, there's a combination lock, and the code is your birthday."

"Okay, Mom, don't talk about it......"

"Okay, no, I, I'm tired, I want to rest."

โ€œโ€ฆ (sobbing)... Okay mom, get a good night's sleep, we'll see you over there later. โ€

"Goodbye Kid"
