day 7: neighborhood

for a moment sam considered checking in on her friend, but the sound of shouting voices down the street interrupted her thoughts. she saw someone with a baseball bat crack open another man's head. she backed up a couple steps, then turned around and ran. the man with the baseball bat was too preoccupied to notice the girl running down the street. over and over again he clubbed the now-dead man on the ground.

sam ran all the way and locked the door behind her. she leaned against the front door for a moment, out of breath, head spinning.

a couple hours later, she was very happy to see her parents return home early from work.
