The Traveler

A Story by ben

Hating the idea of leaving behind the child, the only good about this is at least the kid is sheltered with food and water. Stepping up in going forward in using the rubble from yesteryear as his steppingstone, once upon the smooth surface of the road, it hits him that this was once a private drive when another thought passes by while saying that whatever is left of the mansion, is now homebase for all the high rollers. Adding a pinch more to such a lovely day, is him sensing this is where Sister is kept when here comes a thought creeping in that Rooster girl could have been on her way up there as well until he came along.  Even with this bit of good on his hands, what haunts him more is the thought of how many others have stared though the bars of captivity before Rooster girl. The sadness felt sets off a cold anger that gets him walking until the grisly scene up ahead slows his pace to where he figures he should pull the two bodies off the roadway. Heavy, in that dead weight is unforgiving, he puts to test his shoulders and legs and after finding a good spot, goes after bringing the other body alongside. Thinking the eyes will go first, leaves the two in the hands of nature as he gets back to where he is walking along that private drive to the main thoroughfare.
