After I left the community centre, I came home. There didn’t seem to be much any point doing anything else. I had nowhere else to go. That was just over weeks ago, I think. I’m not exactly sure. It’s getting harder to keep track of the days.
I never felt safe in that community centre. The people there used to talk about surviving, but none of them actually did anything about it. There were always people crying, arguing and fighting but no one did anything constructive. When I first got there I thought we might all bond together and make a go of things like we used to if there was a war or crisis, but we didn’t. Most people were too scared to even try. You see, everyone had lost someone. Everyone had their own problems that needed sorting out before they tried to help anyone
