Endless Snow
explosions
there's a loud crash along with a freezing breeze
Claire
Isaiah get up and help me!
Isaiah gets up quickly moving Sam and Lace to the side
Hope goes over to the door and looks out of a small crack in it
Claire
HOPE GET OVER HERE!
There's another loud crash as the door explodes open
Hope gets thrown by the explosion and instantly is knocked out when he hits the floor
Claire
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!
Isaiah's eyes widen and he runs between this group and his own
Isaiah
YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING THEM
Isabelle
My name is Isabelle
Isaiah
you have explosives but not food
Isabelle
also you have a big group
Isabelle
maybe it'd be a good idea to join up
Claire
this is our shelter the only thing keeping us alive and you just destroyed it
Isabelle
Sorry about that...
Isabelle
He really likes that kind of thing...
Isabelle
hey if we help you rebuild it and help you hunt for supplies can we join?
Claire
better make yourselves useful
Isabelle gives a soft smile
José
so your the boss I'm guessing...
José
it's obviously the kids aren't related to you
José
so where'd you get them all?
Claire
and there's one of them that Isaiah is related to
Sam
Isaiah shes waking up!
Isaiah
can you make a fist?
Sam
Lace please don't go to sleep and never wake up!
she turns her head towards him
Isaiah
I won't let that happen
Sam
I'm going to be strong to fight for you, will you be strong and fight for yourself as well?
José
what's wrong with her?
Isaiah
but its none of your business
Claire
we need to go on a supply run
ivy clings onto Isabelle's leg
Claire
it's almost night time
Claire
everything is patched up enough to sleep
Claire
now to figure out you 3
understanding
as he looks around there's unfamiliar things
Sam
It would be so much fun playing tag here!
he looks around again and his smile inverts
Sam
i wish Lace was here...
Sam
now that I think about it
???
this place is supposed to be peaceful
Caleb
I don't actually know
Caleb
but considering there's no snow and the sun is okay, I'm guessing it's a dream of some kind
Sam
then why are you here?
Caleb
i could ask you the same thing
Caleb
I come here whenever I'm stressed out
Caleb
what would you be stressed about?
Caleb
what's wrong with her?
Sam
everyone's saying she has hypo-therm-ia
Sam
and that she's going to go to sleep and not wake up!
Caleb
yeah...The cold can do that
Caleb
but at least it's a peaceful death
Sam
I don't want her to die!
caleb sits down beside Sam
Caleb
nobody wants a friend to die
Caleb
when this thing started I had a group of over 30 people
Caleb
all friends and family from before
Caleb
now it's just me and my brother
Sam
what happened to them?
Caleb
some got hypothermia
Caleb
some couldn't handle it all
Caleb
some got mad and fought each other
Caleb
and then there was my girlfriend
Caleb
she was as pretty and as nice as they come
Caleb
she got tired of it all
Caleb
and left with one of my friends
Caleb
He promised one day he'd come back
Caleb
and that he'd protect her
Caleb
and that was 4 years ago
Sam
a year after this started
Caleb
my brother is controlling
Caleb
she tried to get me to go with her
Sam
is there a way to save her?
Caleb
she's probably not going to make it
Caleb
heated blanket's, hot water, heaters
Sam
what should I do then?
Caleb
tell her everything's going to be okay
Caleb
yeah but do you want her last day to be you telling her she's gonna die?
Caleb
more then likely she already knows that
Caleb
her body is shaking, she can't move much, she's getting more and more tired
Sam
she said that when we were older we would find a way to make things normal again!
Caleb
this is the new normal
Caleb
there's no way to fix this
Caleb
so unless you have the power of god at your disposal
Caleb
there's no wat to fix this
Caleb
its been alive for thousands and thousands of years
Caleb
everything dies eventually
Sam
dying? so what happens when it does die?
Caleb
more then likely it'll give one final hurrah
Caleb
and alot of heat will suddenly happen
Caleb
all the snow will melt almost instantly
Caleb
trees will catch on fire
Caleb
and then it will cave in on itself and explode killing everything else
Caleb
and whatever does survive will just be floating in an empty void
Sam
so it's better for her just to go to sleep now instead of waiting for the sun to die
Caleb
yeah it's better but the sun isn't going to die in a few days it'll be years
Caleb
might even be long enough for you to have kids
Caleb
maybe even for them to have kids
Sam
who would have kids with this
Sam
wouldn't it just be bringing someone here just for them to suffer?
Caleb
sometimes survival depends on it
Caleb
well lets say you find a spaceship or something in your lifetime
Caleb
and you have kids who can work in that
Caleb
and then their kids will be able to escape and save everyone
Sam
So that would be the only way I could help...
Caleb
you'll figure it out
Caleb stairs at the sky while Sam is gloomily looking at the ground
they both turn and look at the sunset
Caleb
it's magical isn't it?
Caleb
this use to happen every morning and every night
Caleb
back then people didn't really care about it
Caleb
little less notice it
Caleb
because we saw it everyday
Caleb
now a days people hate it and want it to go away
Caleb
but people use to beg for it
Caleb
and some even celebrated whenever it did snow
Caleb
people use to hate then sun
Caleb
but now people miss it and beg for it back
Sam
whenever you have something all the time you don't think about it
Sam
but when you don't have it you do
Caleb
well the sun is going down which means your about to wake up
Caleb
so it was nice talking to you
and as Caleb's warm smile fades away Sam slowly opens his eyes
supply run
Claire
There's nothing we can do
Sam
she's gonna die isn't she
Hope
she's way stronger then all of us
Sam
well here we're always cold
Sam
she's just going to sleep
Sam
it'll be peaceful for her
Isaiah
the hell's wrong with you!
Claire
coming from someone who was complaining when we started talking about her
Isaiah
for **** sake Claire this is your fault
Claire
how is it MY fault?
Isaiah
because you keep saying she's gonna die
Isaiah
and with that talk you've gotten rid of all his hope
Claire
all that leads to is disappointment
José
it's something you can't help
José
we don't have the technology to save her
José
at least it's peaceful
Isaiah
oh yeah? and how would you feel is it was Ivy?
José
that felt like a threat
Sam sits down beside Lace
Claire
this is nice n all but we still have a supply run we need to do
Claire
and it's already almost noon
Claire
so Isaiah stop being a baby and come on
Isabelle
do you just leave the kids alone?
Claire
but i want you to stay here with them while me, Isaiah, and José go
José
and let's just get this over with
30 minutes later they leave
Hope
Hey Sam! do you wanna come play?
Sam
No I wanna stay beside Lace
Sam
what would I be scared of?
Ivy
maybe that she'll say your name?
Ivy
and you won't be around to hear it
Isabelle
Ivy leave him alone he just wants to be around his friend before she leaves
Isaiah is walking with his head down
José seems to be bored and worried
and Claire has a numb expression while in the lead
Their walking in some sort of a city
she turns and starts walking to a really tall building
José
that's probably just gonna have office supplies
José
it's pointless to explore it
Claire
and that's why you were starving
Isaiah
lets just hurry this up
Isaiah
I need to get back to Lace
Isaiah
says the one complaining
Claire
stop it, both of you
they shut up and walk into the building
pulling out their flashlights they begin to look around
there's nothing interesting on the first several floors
José
I told you this was a waste
José sighs and goes into the room Claire's in
its a storage room for the kitchen
its almost completely stocked
Isaiah continues to look around while the other two are packing up the food
Isaiah
Hey! there's a locked door over here!
Claire
Then open it, stupid
when it clears it becomes clear this is some kind of a daycare
Isaiah
(guessing this is for the workers kids)
he walks in and starts looking around
Isaiah
(No windows are open it can't just be the wind)
he takes a deep breath and looks over the table the blocks were on
a knife quickly scrapes across his face
he easily grabs it and shoves whoever's using it down
Isaiah
The hell is wrong with you!
Snow
I-I'M SORRY I WAS SCARED PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!
Isaiah
Is there anyone else here? and do not lie to me
Snow
I don't know if their still here or not
Snow
I think his name was Eric
Isaiah
is he the one who hurt you?
Isaiah
if he were here where would he be?
Isaiah
I won't let him hurt you
Isaiah
okay i won't hurt you
Isaiah
I'm not going to hurt you
Isaiah picks up Snow and brings him over to an area where it's easy to hide
Isaiah
wait here I'm gonna go get my friends and we're going to make sure he's not here
Isaiah rushes over to the other two
isaiah turns and starts making his way up
Claire
Hey Isaiah can you come here!
Claire
damnit where'd that idiot go?
José
and now we have to look for him don't we?
José
I really don't like him
it takes them about 30 minutes
Claire
the hell happened!?
she takes the tape off his mouth
José goes over to the closet and opens it
there's just a hole in it that leads to a 80ft drop
Isaiah
He jumped thru that
José
that's too far of a drop that leads to straight concrete
Claire
yeah and i see a concussion forming
she undoes the tape around his arms
José
you couldn't handle 1 guy?
Isaiah
he was stronger then normal tho
Isaiah
I could take you in a fight
Claire
You two shut the hell up right now!
the boys look at what shes looking at
José
please tell me you got your *** kicked by a child
Snow
I told you he was mean
Claire finishes untapping his hands
Isaiah
and I thought I told you to stay
Claire
okay lets just go I guess the kid can go with us
José
Scared he's still around?
Claire
we have more places to search
Isabelle
he'll be home soon
Ivy

Sam
Isabelle can you help?
she walks over and presses her hand against Lace's forehead
Isabelle
she's getting worse
Sam

Isabelle

Isabelle

Hope
