Force Majeure: Part 2 - Grave Digger

If things came to pass, eventually all of the criminals would be murdering right and left without any remorse, but thankfully, several of them still had a brain.

After taking a few minutes to calm himself down, Kitsune stood up, tossing his coat back over his shoulders, feeling the weight of the guns and bullets they caused in the inside pockets. Before reaching down to grab his suitcase, he felt a long, hard rumbling in his stomach. He had forgotten that the last time he had eaten was three nights ago, the day before the tragedy on his town occured. He looked up in the trees for any sign of a fruit tree, and sure enough, not that far off of the ground was a tree holding rich, ripe red apples. He walked over to it, keeping his eyes locked on the apple of his choice, which happened to be the best out of the bunch. He gave a little hop, snatching the apple from the stem it grew from. He looked at it carefully, making sure there was nothing wrong with the skin, before giving it a little rub on his shirt and chomping down deep into it. His eyes lit up in happiness, which was the first time he had since that night. He carefully pulled out a piece of cloth and a switchblade he had brought with him. He spread out the cloth on the ground, then, carefully, he used the knife to cut off every single good-looking apple he could find on the tree, setting them down on the cloth. After he was done, he picked up the cloth and tied it together, making a nice little bag for the apples. He opened up his suitcase, setting the apples inside, taking out two for when he traveled.

Soon, after making the necessary checks if he still had everything, he set off, making his way through the park. In no time at all, he made his way to a small path. Following it for nearly 10 minutes, he came to the gates of a small city. He stared up and down it, noticing that it looked a little peculiar. The hinges were practically hanging off of the boards that held them to the walls. The gate itself was losing many pieces, leaving holes all over it, and inside, smoke appeared to be slowly wavering out of it. Slowly, Kitsune walked over to the gate, looking through one of the holes to the other side. What he saw made him fall back to the ground.

Hundreds of bodies littered the ground in the city; men, women, and children. Most of the buildings and houses had been torn down and still burning. Swamp water littered the soil, leaving a barren, muddy look. The bodies themselves were stacked upon eachother like bags, laying in several different positions to show that whatever happened to them had been horrible beyond belief, for it didn't even look like they had bones to speak of anymore.

Kitsune shoved the gate open with all of his might, but when it swung to the other side, it toppled over to the ground, creating a large BAM! It didn't even bother him as he walked into the town. A tear fell down his cheek as he looked at the horror of what had happened to this once great city, known in books as Tarfale, or "The land of great souls". It had been around since before the War of the Devils that had destroyed most of the world with nuclear destruction. It definitely did look like the Underworld now that it had been attacked savagely. He walked over to the bodies, wiping away his tears.
