i shout it towards the forest. my phone rings. its mom. i pick it up and answer it. "hey sweetheart, hows... hows the farm?" i sigh. "everythings fine ma, ive found a way to scare the beast off. for about an hour. hes persistent." "please dont get yourself into trouble, i cant lose anything or anyone else." i hesitate. "i wont- i wont go off into the forest. ill try not to get into trouble." "alright, stay safe. see you this weekend, maybe?" "yeah, sure." the conversation ended.

Glass walked out onto the back porch with me. "heya buddy." he whines, glaring at the very top of those dreaded metal sirens. "yeah, i see him. i wont let you get killed by him too." Glass started growling, and i realized what he was worried about. siren hed was moving toward us. i loaded the rifle again, but realized im out of ammo. "no. no no no, shit shit shit." the sirens started blaring. it was deafening. i had no choice but to run into the storm shelter.

about 15 minutes of hiding there with Glass, the door to the shelter ripped off, and there he was. i was face to face with the beast again. the muffled, static voices of people i knew and didnt know at all started blaring, overlapping- he even got dad. this is part 5, the finale is coming soon
