•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘• For a fraction of a second my eyes got to be about the size of golf balls. I felt like a kid in a candy store, but I wasn’t sure if it was okay to act the part just yet. At the same time it was so hard to remain calm looking when all I wanted to do was have a mini excitement induced freak out session.
“Is that so? Well I happen to enjoy horror myself. It’s been a, well I wanna say hobby of mine for a long time now.”
Was calling it a hobby to obvious? Maybe he wont put much stock in it. While waging wars inside myself I was, as calmly as I could, making a move towards the section Al had pointed out. It was almost like some kind of sick twisted dream come true.
“This is...incredible...there are so many! The book store where I come from didn’t have quite so many.”
Once surrounded by the one thing that still made me happy I didn’t care as much how odd it seemed, after all Al was the one that had made the suggestion. Also by the sounds of it he was a fan too. Pulling a random book off the shelf I couldn’t help but allow my small smile to grow rather large.
“How To Survive A Horror Movie, I used to own this book, it’s back at...my old home.”
I flipped through the pages without really reading them, I already knew what they said, I had read it that often. The copy in my hand was much less worn then the one I had at home. That was something I would have to fix.
“What about you? Do you have a favorite in this section?”

I stood up from my spot while Ally was flipping through the pages of a book she must have read before. When she asked if I had a favorite I walked into the section and browsed from a second knowing what I was looking for. Letting out a small "Ah-Ha!" I pulled out a specific book,it was called "Two Weeks After First Infection." It was a book about a group surviving a world in ruins after a zombie infection. It actually had saved my life more then once during the infection when I was still getting used to it.
"This book is my favorite,it has also saved my life more then once," The book had actually told how to barricade a door it was meant as a joke but it actually worked. I flipped through a few pages reminecing about the time I had spent reading it,the sad fact? It was the last thing my mother had bought me before her death. I kept my emotions held as it wasn't the best time to be thinking about things like that.
I was about to move to my spot again when something caught my eye. It was a CD player that had survived bombings it was although a bit scratched on the front. I went over to it not believing my eyes that something like that had survived then looked around,I found a case of CD's apparently the bookstore clerk was a music fan. "Hey I found some things over here," I said holding up the CD player and case of disk's for Allison to see.
_______ Note: Why I have no idea what you mean by that. xD

•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘• “Saved your life? That’s kind of amazing, I mean to think a book you happened to read could save your life...”
This idea had me re-looking my book over. All this time I had thought this book was a lifesaver, but only in the funny sense. It had been in my nature for a long time now to apply horror movie rules to life and even make stupid jokes about it all but none of it amounted to anything serious like his reading had.
While I was resolving thought in my mind the world outside was moving. In the amount of time it took me to have another thought battle with myself , Al had managed to find what looked to be a CD player. A whats more was there was music to go with it.
“No WAY! I’ve not heard any real music in...forever!”
I all but ran to Al to get a closer look. If there was one thing I loved as much as horror, it was music. Since the world flipped upside down though there had been next to none. I had been keeping my eye out for a guitar or piano though, something to replace some of the lost joy in my life

I noticed that Ally was very excited about the music player so I held it out to her. I was fond of music but I didn't feel like it at the moment for some reason. The way I see it my likes must have changed throughout the infection,after all who would come out of the apocalypse unchanged?
"Take it,I definitely don't need it." It was true he didn't throughout his time in the ruins noise just ruined things for him. Plus it seems music makes her happy and that is what I wanted to do to be honest. I looked to Ally,waiting for a response from my kind jester,it felt good to give someone something they really truly wanted.
---------- Note:Awwww,ain't that sweet of him? :3

•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘• For a long moment Aly was unsure of how to respond. This was the single most generous act she had seen in a long time. It was unlikely that she would come across an unharmed music player again, with CDs no less. She wanted to reach out and snatch it up but instead she moved slowly giving Al time to change his mind if he chose to do so.
“Are you really sure that this is okay? I mean you did find it and all...”
She wasn’t sure why she was trying to talk him out of it. She had no grander wish then to hear music play once more. Perhaps it was just the idea that in this new world what you found was yours to keep. Sharing was not something that anyone could really afford to do given the now limited supply. Still against her conscious she took the player in her hands, still refusing to look away from Al.
“You are now no longer a stranger but like my post apocalypse hero! When the sun comes up I’m taking you back to the Inn with me okay?”
It wasn’t so much a question as it was a statement. The very least she could do at this point is offer him a place to stay, a place to make new friends and try to get life back to normal. Not that she was going to deny him this chance other wise, it was just her way of trying to repay him for his generous gift, one that she would use first thing tomorrow.

"I don't see another choice,if I refuse I might end up being dragged there," I said jokingly. I moved from my current position to the corner of the room again. I was getting tired from the days events and I wanted to get this night over with so I could leave the book store.
I sat down against the wall covering my eyes with my hood," I am going to get some sleep,If I were you I would do the same," I said recommending Ally get some sleep,both of us looked tired and sleeping now would help us get energy for the treck to the Inn tomorrow morning.
----------- Note:Thats my closing post lets see yours :3

•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘• There was certainly no denying that Al was right about needing to get some sleep, especially if I wanted to be up at a decent time. Catching El before she went out on her rounds would be the real obstacle. Of course I would wait till she got back later that afternoon but then that would be even longer that El would go on not knowing if I was alive or not. Taking a spot on the wall next to Al she tried to get as comfortable as she could give the no bed situation
“Well goodnight then.”
