The Earth We Once Knew - John Murphy

Eight Six Days

 *days pass* we have been in this damn place for God knows how long, Murphy laid on the gross couch with the gun in front of him, hell he already started to have a beard as I sat in the chair not saying anything. he rewinded the video again rewatching it over and over again, I got up and walked out of the room to the kitchen area before sighing as I touched my hair. I grabbed my knife from my pocket as I looked at the mental seeing that I could see myself in it, I grabbed a piece of hair before I sliced my knife through it. I did this throughout my whole head till it hit my shoulders. I touched it smiling a little as I tunked my knife back into my pants, i walked back in there seeing him now sitting up as the gunshot rang through on the screen

Phoneix- enough of this bullshit Murphy. *turns off the screen*

Murphy- hey I was watching that!

he looked at me with an irraited look till he saw my hair, he stood up walking to me as he touched it

Murphy- you cut it off?

Phoneix- it got in the way; this was the only way.

Murphy- it looks nice, I think I like it better than your long hair. fits you

I smiled at him as he nodded before walking back to the couch, he clicked back on the TV and let the video play as he rolled up into a ball with the yellow blanket and fell asleep. I rolled my eyes getting a drink before sitting in the chair watching the video. another few days passed, and we were still in this shit hole, Murphy stood next to me playing with this 8-ball as I was sitting in the chair drinking while the video played with Chris bringing Becca to meet Allie 

Man- 2051, Becca meets Allie-

Becca- Chris, we've gotta get to work

Chris- we are working. Allie wanted it to be a surprise

Allie- Hello Becca

Becca- who did this?

Allie- I did, you don't approve? as you know, I didn't think I needed an avatar 

Allie- why not my creator

I looked at Murphy who was bouncing around the place without his shirt on making me chuckle as I shook my head

I turned my chair around, so I was facing away from the screen as I chugged down the rest of my drink sighing. 

days went on like this, we were going mental with that stupid video playing over and over again. Murphy wasn't doing any better than me, but I was handling this better as i wasn't pouring wine on myself for no reason. today was just like any other day, I sat in the chair while Murphy stood in front of the TV

Becca- what is the root problem, Allie?

Allie- too many people

Murphy scuffed looking at the TV

Murphy- um, too many people?

Becca- too many people?

Murphy- ah, you certainly took care of that, didn't you?

Murphy held the alcohol bottle and threw it at the screen yelling as he did when it broke the screen, I moved out of the chair so fast when he did that looking at him in utter shock. I didn't say anything. I didn't know what to say. *skip a little more* Murphy held this camera as he looked into it with tears falling from his eye as he did, I just sat there not knowing what to say or do anymore

Murphy- 86 days, we are on our um last box of food so, *looks at me sighing* really never thought I'd miss the Ark this much but *looks back at the camera* anyways, Jaha, if you're seeing this that would indeed mean you're not dead, so *yells* screw you!!
