He has no resemblance towards neither me or my sister so I quess we're not related by blood. 207Please respect copyright.PENANANJpcHSs6xQ

I believe he's just a kind man who took us in when our parents were killed in the war. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAlrnwElDIBZ

His bushy eyebrows grows like weed above his tired eyes. It's a little bit odd because of his obsessivness about that perfectly tended mustasch on his upper lip. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAu4N1IQ5N8V

He smokes a very old pipe which gives his clothes a somehow comforting scent. Every time just before igniting the tobacco, he picks up a small, handheld fan from his pocket to redirect the smoke towards the exit. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAxJcngQVbAq

He's not a very talkative man but has schooled me and my sister well, with books and with whatever knowledge he possess. Although we've lived under the same roof for so many years, I've never learned his true name but I believe that's been his intention all along. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAs3PXgm1DU7

There's no family photos in the whole room and he's never been speaking about a late wife, which somehow proves my theory about him not being my real grandpa. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAmng8FfZ4Eo

My sister wants to know more about our parents and keeps bringing up the subject. I stopped asking a few years back, the old man avoids the questions and I don't think he even knows who they were. 207Please respect copyright.PENANA1lvunjJUQC

He likes to talk about his old job at a sawmill on the outskirts of town and how he faught to defend it during the war. The repeated story has made my mind painting a very accurate picture of what it really looks like, wish I could go there some day to compare. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAalvEks2AzS

He's not a very good chef. Ever since we were very small kids we've been fed canned beans and some sort of meat at least four times a week. I've never seen a live animal but read about every single specie in grandpa's old encyclopedia. He says books is the true source to knowledge and the only source since the power grid went down. A couple of years back he found a computer when out scouting and been trying to get it to work along with this rusty old generator.207Please respect copyright.PENANAjYDGFmC1FT

I hate that thing. It's noisy and disturbing but is our only option to dwell in complete darkness. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAy56lYO7e26

The remains of the structure above our heads used to be grandpa's house but is know desolated like most of the town. 207Please respect copyright.PENANARyiCoXV1CL

I've been troubled about death lately and what will happen to us when the old man draws his final breath. I don't know much about life but I've learned death is inescapable and that makes me feel claustrophobic. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAYkOgUpiXCz

What purpose to life is there when being isolated from its trials? The tobacco is almost consumed and the lids of the old man is slipping. A thin line of saliva is making its way down the wrinkles on his cheek. The fan is running low of battery. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAEVBUeuknhl

A snoring sound comes from behind my back. My sister has fallen asleep in a temporary bed made of pillows and blankets She looks so peaceful on the outside, but her inner demons are chewing on her body and mind. 207Please respect copyright.PENANAeHuxxTXigw

Her name is Ashley and did just turn twelve. On these occasions when being free from distractions I usually study the the hatch at the top of the ladder. It's made of solid steel. I've defied grandpa's prohibition a couple of times, trying to open it but the handle is immovable. 207Please respect copyright.PENANA57SbX87zqb

In a few years I might succeed. He would be furious with me for even thinking the thought. I wonder if my patience will allow me to wait until I'm of age to venture outside. All I know is that the war triggered a new dark age, a modern version of its precursor, grandpa won't speak of it in detail, says it's all in the past. I was too young at the time to be able to recollect any substancial memories and Ashley was mere an infant.ns 172.70.126.49da2
