Split Mind

wasn't doomed to fail

He didn't even say much just that i was right and that i should go. If it wasn't for his foot being in pain it'd be so clear that this guy was not a gentleman even though he could've insisted a little bit.

As i leave the car near the entrance of the Mall i notice alot of people heading in. Yeah thats a great way to get stampeded. i opt to go for the back where there wasn't as much people as there was in the front and i see a trolley head of it. More of ran to it after what happened with the car i just cant risk it

Strolling through the storage unit i finally see a symbol i recognized a W writen in white and i know thats where ill find everything i need. THE DOOR IS LOCKED. oh no. I try jecking it a couple of times but no luck and i trying kicking it down like ive seen in movies after one kick whats happened to my legs all day dawns on me and i feel pain coursing through it and i sit down and pull my knees to my chest and start crying not soft sobs but loud deep s**t type of cry. Wailing and hiccuping cry. Everything that ive been holding back and everything that ive felt was not the right time to cry just came out and i was glad noone was around this area because i was hysterical.

After a while i calmed down and decided to head back to my kids and disappoint them again. Wiped my tears and snort not wanting anybody to see me like this.

i stood there for a few minutes calming my breathing.

As i was standing there i hear a trolley hearding my way and hurry to go back to pretend like i was still trying to open the the door to the Woolworths storage and didn't want anyone thinking ive been just sitting here all this time. The trolley sound was closer and i turn to see a lady heading my way she looked sophisticated with her short hair that stopped at shoulder length with one side tucked behind her ear and pale skin that looked like white chocolate and some red lipstick that made her lips her most visible feature with such a fine jaw.

This might be the tears obstructing my view of her but she kind of reminded me on Angelina Jolie.

She looked like a type of lady who wouldn't be here if she didn't have to with her perfect posture.

She came and stood by me and realised what i was doing and looked at me once and turned to focus on the lock. She had such a dominating aura an aura of a person you'd have to spend your whole life trying to please.

"Move." she said with a stern and authorive voice that i simply obliged not giving myself enough time to register how rude that was or react properly.She held the lock in her hands studying like there is a button i didn't know about then turns to her trolley once more and returbs with a pair of bolt cutters and cut one side of the lock quickly and swiftly broke the lock she then turn and looks in my eyes and throws the lock on the ground in my direction and turns and went inside leaving the door open and me feeling giddy all of the sudden and took my trolley and hurriedly went inside. I wasnt doomed to fail after all.

I grabbed as much canned foods as i could snacks,fruits, unnecessary toys and nappies i didn't need them but i was feeling greedy all of the sudden like i deserved to be here. All the things were in boxes so there was alot of reading to know what is in them.

On my way back i realize they are probably worried about me i have been gone a while and pick up the pace. I stop in front of the car decide to catch my breath wishing i had packed in reverse.

People are still to coming to the mall to loot and now having have done the same i see that i judged them too quickly they probably needed supplies too and i just assumed that they were here to replenish the things that the Earthquake did or probably will destroy.

After a few moments the ground starts shaking again this time it wasn't a big one seeing as my feet were still rooted to the ground and alot of people didn't even notice with all the running arpund that was happening.

The ground stopped shaking and realised that it was unbelievably quiet aside from people not an animal in sight.

i bend over to pick up somethings that had fallen out during the Earthquake.

i feel a strong breeze past me. You might think im crazy but i swear it said "run" it was so soft and fast i probably did imagine it. Then a strong wind so strong that it cut any bare skin. Alarms of cars started to go off . I turn my body so i dont face the wind directly and cover my face with my without thinking i let go of the trolley and i chase after it. As soon as i have my hand on the trolley the wind stops suprised by the turn of events i begin to walk back to the car wanting nothing more thanto leave this place. i make to the car and open the boot and start loading things.

" HEY!? HEY!?" I hear the stranger whose name i still dont know and i lower the boot to look at him it took me a while to process the look on his face and he looked horrified and i turn to to look at what he was looking at and my eyes widen with shock. "OH MY GOD ! WHAT IS THAT?!"
