Jet & I arrived to this dreary, run down town today. At first I was unsure if this was a safe bet to find some food, water, maybe some supplies to keep us going. My arms were killing me, all those hours rowing a rusty old tin can over the ocean to get here.
We walked into a tavern that seemed to be still operational! Kali, I think the girl behind the bars name was. This was the first person Jet & I have seen in about a week. I have a watch that keeps the days, but who am I kidding.. Most days have been a blur where you wake up hours later and cant remember what day it was. Kali seemed nice enough, she offered Jet & I both a can of cola, the can was a bit on the deteriorating side and the cola tasted like every ounce of flavouring and buoyancy had sucked from the dark liquid, leaving a heavy caramelized taste on your tongue.
Kali had told him of many a thing that had been happening around this town of.. Arklay? She called it.. About what happened to the dam and some locations on much needed stores/trade routes & supply people.
I think Jet & I would be at least a little safe to hold here for a while, the grass was green, the water was murky.. I guess you cant have your cake & eat it too.. Fuck i’d die for some cake… Maybe there was a way he could find out to filter the water for drinking.
Maybe..
