I was in town, minding my own business when the big thumb of the government was pressed down on
me! :( :) :( . It was the coldest day EVER! Don't tell me climate change doesn't exist. It was so cold I was
wearing my typical underwear (top/bottom), LONG JOHNS!, a tunic and shirt. I had on pants, two pairs
of socks!, a scarf, mittens and finally a winter coat. On my feet; hiking boots. It helped keep the wind and
rain out. On my head I had a hat on. Why I was out on a day like today I don't know. I should've been
home. Oh, yes...my roommate was sick. We didn't have any medicine at home so it fell to me to get it.
Since we were short on cash---we only had $3.30 between us, I went to a discount store to buy the
medicine. I was about to pay for the aspirin, cough medicine and peptic medicines when the store was
closed off to the outside public.
People started freaking out. Our cashier started balling, "Please don't shoot! We'll give you the money.
Please... don't... kill... us." Parents held their babies close to them. One or two parents actually abandoned
their children to run to safety!! One came back for the children. The other cried hysterically, "LET ME
OUT! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" I was third in line at the register. I ducked down behind the person in
front of me. "Please don't see me. Please don't see me," I whispered. I started saying one OUR FATHER
and 10 HAIL MARYS. And then repeated.
Soon the spokesperson of the group spoke up. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. May I have your
attention?! You are being evacuated to a different habitat You will be given a trashbin and credit for 100
items or 100 credits. You have 45 minutes. Think about what you need for you and your family.
Once you leave this area there will be no more resources to help you.
