I pull out my phone to see if I have any signal but it's still nothing. I don't even have a wifi signal as the transmitter is too tiny to function properly. To make matters worst the phone is already at only twenty percent battery after leaving it on all night. I turn the phone off and let out a sigh. I'm going to have to leave this house. There is no I'm going to wait here alone just to be stuck with being unable to get help again.
Beyond the kitchen table and chairs I'm under is the sliding glass door leading to the backyard. I take the trek to it and find that the metal separator and tracking is like a tall wall to me but a piece of dead grass creates a sort of ramp for me to walk upwards on. I walk up this dry stalk of grass and then across another over more of the tracking like a bridge until walking along the top of the metal track to reach the end of the glass door where there is plenty of room more me to walk through like how a bug enters the house.
I'm now outside, the cool air of the morning makes me shiver but the sun's rays provide some warmth. I look across the bumpy cement patch to see vast jungles of grass surrounding. Beyond those jungles, very many miles away, I see monolithic houses. The chirping of birds echoes through the air and various clicking of insects as I already take note of some ants moving in the distance. If I can survive walking through this jungle, I know I have neighbors to the left and right and the back fence.
To the left is an older Asian woman who is in her fifties and by herself as her husband passed away some time ago. To my right is a black woman just a couple years older than me and her Hispanic female roommate. Through the back fence is a two storied house with a pool belonging to a white couple with an eight year old and eighteen year old daughter.
