You finish wiping the mirror and notice a brown liquid on the floor. "Ugh gross the toilet must be leaking.." You go to check the bathroom. but that doesn't seem to be the source of this brown. Sticky? Liquid. you open the door only to find more of this liquid rush in "what the hell is happening?" You rush outside and see the whole town covered in this mystery liquid. "A flood?" Luckily the liquid is only ankle deep so you can get through it. You make a run for the gas station and on your way there you notice a manhole has been spewing the brown sticky liquid." Ew, so this is sewage water?" You trip on something and fall into the liquid. The taste of generic brand soda fills your mouth. You pick yourself up, the soda is now knee-deep. You make it to the gas station only to find Stephen helping the red hat kid get through the employee's only freezer door. "Oh, y/n your here great get in" he pushed you in and closes the door before any more soda can get through. You pant and run your fingers through your sticky hair(if bald use your imagination)."what is going on why is this happening?" You sit on the floor and bring your knees to your chest. you then remember your mom is out there. You get up and try and unlock the door but Stephen grabs your arm." what are you doing are you trying to get us all killed? You continue trying to unlock the door."y/n are you listening to me?!" "you don't know how high that soda's gotten maybe I still could-". " I'm sure your mother is fine". You stopped trying to unlock the door one because you couldn't get it open, two because the liquid on your fingers were starting to freeze making your fingers numb And three because Stephen was right. Your mom has survived worse. But your mind still ran over all the worst outcomes."I'm just scared she's all I got left " your tears mixed with the soda making your eyes burn resulting in you crying more. Stephen stands there awkwardly trying to think of a way to comfort you that doesn't involve touching your soda-drenched figure .your body turns numb from the cold and you begin to shiver. "fuck it" you feel a pair of arms wrap around your frame providing warmth to your near frozen body." it's gonna be alright stop crying, jeez". You bring your body closer to his, the scent of him filling your nostrils. Lemon, bleach and there's a faint cigarette smell." You wipe your nose on his shirt and sniffle". He cradles you in his arms, holding you tight. Despite you being in a freezer your body felt warm and fuzzy on the inside (how am I supposed to write stuff like this?)

Who knows how much time had passed you could've been in there for hours maybe even the whole day. You had asleep with Stephen's arms wrapped around you. You carefully got up making sure to not wake Stephen and walked over to the entrance. You attempted to open the door. Now that your fingers weren't frozen it was a lot easier. You had finally opened the door and Stephen and the kid had woken up. There wasn't any soda left but the floor was extremely sticky. Red hat kid ran past you and went outside to play with a dead cat in the road ."man, I got to clean all the mess up" Stephen groaned and slumped on the counter."I'll help when I come back I just have to check on my mom."

sorry, 4 the bad grammar and punctuation. Writing is not something I'm good at lol.
