The Earth We Once Knew - John Murphy

Tower

I woke up to the bright sun shining in my face, I moved my head to look at Murphy who was already awake and looking at me. he smiled at me as he kissed my head before I sighed and looked around

Murphy- that tower thing has been there all night

Phoneix- we should probably take a look at it more closely, for all we know it could help us

he nodded as I got up being careful of my arm as he copied my actions, I still wasn't feeling the greatest as my arm was still bleeding from the other night. we walked like two steps before he bent down and grabbed this thing that looks like a cerate board, he tossed it to the ground before we began to walk again. we walked toward the tower but when we stepped down, we hit this patch that man a noise, so we stopped as Murphy bent down wiping the sand and mosh off it seeing it was another panel. right as he did that this noise started playing making him stand and grab my none injured arm before he started pulling me with him up this small hill all the way to the tower being face to face with the mental wall 

Phoneix- now what?

Murphy- I'm thinking, give me a sec *cuts off*

I started knocking on the mental as he looked at me before I stopped looking at it more till I saw this small crack, I stuck my fingers in it as I started to pull on it which opened it, meaning it was a door

Murphy- I should be praising you for being smarter than me but I have too much pride

Phoneix- shut up 

I walked inside as Murphy followed close behind me hearing this song play as we entered along with these lights turned on. I continued to walk as I went down these stairs to try and find the source of where that music could be coming from, as we went down more the music got louder. I got to the bottom and Murphy was pressed against my back since I had stopped. there was a whole living space down here with couches, a table, everything you could have ever dreamed of having. it was down here. I walked more in and looked to my side seeing another room with drinks on the walls and these bikes of some kind

Murphy- promise land

Phoneix- definitely 

I looked at Murphy with a smile as he returned it, he walked away from me hitting these balls that were on a table before walking towards the drinks even bopping his head to the music. he went into the other room as I followed seeing him rip open these tin things that were filled with food. he started eating one as I grabbed one for myself munching down on it, let's just say I was in heaven. Murphy started pouring this alcohol into a cup as he did the same to another one before handing it to me

Murphy- let loss for a little, we don't get to do this everyday

Phoneix- you aren't wrong there

I took the drink before sipping on it as he did the same to his, Murphy moved his head to the music as he laughed causing the food to spit out of his mouth making me gag in disgust

Murphy- it's just food!

Phoneix- that was in your mouth!

Murphy- oh what you want some?

he opened his mouth as I shove his face away moving into the living area before taking a seat in the chair, he followed me an made me stand just so he could sit. I scuffed at him as I was about to go sit on the other chair, but he made me sit on his lap as he started to try and change the song that was playing but he ended up turning it off. right when he did that this monitor thing went off making us look at the TV only to see a man on the screen, Murphy moved his food out of his mouth while I drank my drink. the guy on the screen looked as if he had been crying for hours but i also took note, he was in the same place we were even the date on the top corner read 5/10/2052

Man- I tried to stop her but I lost control. she got the launch codes. it was her, she did it. but it was my fault.

the man reached to the side of himself before grabbing a gun, I shifted a little on Murphy's leg as I knew where this was going to go. Murphy seemed interested in this like it was some stupid movie.

Man- I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry

the man shot himself in the chest making Murphy jump as I looked at the screen, I felt sick to my stomach seeing that. Murphy didn't turn off the TV as I stood up chugging down the rest of my drink as he just sat there before he turned in the chair looking at the couch that had blood stains on it. we heard clanging as a door opened making me look at Murphy in almost free, we heard the voice say "containment door sealed" as Murphy ran up the stairs with me following behind as I just dropped the drink on the ground, the door to the stairs was closed shut as Murphy banged on it

Murphy- no way! come on! come on! *Trying to open the door*

Man 1 on the tv- Chris? where are you, man? Chris? Chris!

I looked down the stair as I walked down without a second thought, I looked at the screen seeing two men running to the guys body which I assume is Chris. Murphy came down the stairs and looked at the screen as well

Man 2- I knew it. the news was wrong. it wasn't China. this stupid son of a bitch let Allie out

I walked towards the screen with Murphy as we watched what was happening

Man 1- help me, the radiation's coming unless we wanna share this place with a corpse, we need to get him out

the guys on the screen started to pick up the body when Murphy moved towards the couch looking down before he reached down and grabbed the gun that the man used to shot himself. he put it in his pocket

Phoneix- Murphy put that down!

Murphy- for all we know those guys can be coming back here, we need some kind of protection

Phoneix- so you are going to use a dead man's gun, how fun.

he looked at me with a annoyed look before grabbing this thing and running up the stairs, I heard banging and him grunting as I assumed he was trying to open the door, I heard him scream making me run to the bottom of the stairs as he ran down throwing the object before grabbing another thing that looked to be a small stool and ran up the stairs again repeating the process

Murphy- Phoneix grab me something else to fucking use!

Phoneix- a please would be nice!

Murphy- Phoneix! 

Phoneix- alright I'm going!

I ran away from the stairs as I looked around grabbing this black cyclinar thing before carrying it up to Murphy who was now shirtless, I coughed slightly as I handed it to him before running back down the stairs when he started to smash it against the door. the banging stopped but for only a second as it started again.
