Rick woke up and sighed, the look of an early morning through the open window another day without the both of them. Slowly sitting on the bed he took the small flask on his bedside table and drank from it, “Another day in the world of the living huh Kayla?, I know you do not like me drinking but your not here…”. He stood up and stretched his back slowly picking a pair of jeans and a shirt and getting dressed. “I guess I will work with the truck today…” he smiled and got himself a cup of black coffee before walking out to his truck. Getting on he turned it on and drove to where he was working, fixing a old truck for an old lady that did not knew left for right when it came to cars.<br/><br/>Parking in the corner he took out his tools and began working on the truck with a big smile on his face, it was only when he was doing something that his mind could wonder outside his family. Slowly singing to himself as he finished placing the damaged part, now fixed and turning on the car which roared like a kitty. He could smile as he watched the old woman clapping clearly happy that she had her only way of transportation fixed.<br/><br/>“How may I repay you Rick… you are too good to me how much do I owe you?” the old woman smiled as she hugged him tightly.<br/><br/>“That hug was more than enough pay, if you still want to do something just make me some of those wonderful cookies you make and we consider ourselves even” He chuckled and kissed her forehead which she began nodding.<br/><br/>“I will make sure to deliver them to your house when I am done with them dear boy” she smiled and hugged him again as she watched him get into his truck.<br/><br/>“I guess I will go hunting the rest of the day” he went back home and got his kit ready. Bottle of water, rifle with ammo, first aid kit and satellite phone just in case “okay it’s all here”. He nodded getting back on his truck and driving a few hours into the entrance of the forest on the spot he always parked. Picking his stuff up he began walking into the all too familiar woods. Staying the day hunting he managed to get a few rabbits and a buck which would give him food for the rest of the week.<br/><br/>Driving back home he noticed as he was unloading his stuff that the entire town went dark all of the sudden, “What is this?...” He walked to where he had the area where he delt with his hunting catches so the stain would not get into his home and proceeded to place some wood on a circle and make a fire, “I guess I will sleep out today huh Sarah?” he went back to his truck and started to get the animals skinned and ready to be cooked. Something was off with this blackout, it was rare at least to him.
