Not wanting to deal with any of this, you decide to just book it and leave the neighbourhood. Finding an abandoned car in the street, you get in and start making your way towards the beach. You weren’t sure if it would actually be safer than here, but you hoped it would at least be more relaxing. This was all a little too much for you at the moment, so a bit of time to cool off seemed like the best course of action.
Making sure to take the least common and most unpopulated routes, you made your way through a forest route. You heard shaking (and the occasional explosion) behind you in the town, but that was long behind you now. When driving like this, it was almost like the world was perfectly fine. Then, all of a sudden, a chipmunk the size of a car runs by you. You watch as it tries to climb up a tree, only for it to topple over.
Thankfully, the beach was just around the corner. Parking directly on the sand, you look around for any sign of human life. Unfortunately, it seemed to be all but deserted. The beach was practically empty, devoid of even carpets and amenities. Something you did notice, however, was gigantic footprints in the sand, with some red mixed in with the sand. Surely that was just because of… a broken slushy stand.
One thing that catches your eye is a lifeguard stand, seemingly intact. Very strange for it to be the only thing still standing (which definitely isn’t foreshadowing anything). You take a towel out of your car and lay it down on the beach. Were you going nuts? Just maybe. But all that mattered now was having a nice time at the beach.
After resting for a moment, you decide on what to do next.
