Captain called. I thought he was going to tell me he couldn't stop at the store, but he started yelling the second I answered my cell.
"They're coming! We can't hold them back much longer!" Something about the unit being cut down and the survivors - Survivors? - falling back to regroup.
He told me to run.
Run from what? He got cut off before I could ask. I heard someone screaming over the phone and gunfire.
I went outside right after the call. It looks like there was some kind of accident on base, I see black smoke, something is on fire.
He could be talking about the fire, maybe it's spreading? The wind isn't right for it to come this way, yet, but if it shifts... it could come toward the house?
I don't know where he thinks I can run to, he's got our car, and I'm not leaving the cats or the dog.
The radio doesn't have anything about the fire, and the cable is out again. The damn cable goes out every time the wind shifts lately.
I did get some things together and boxed up the cats, just in case the fire does come this way. I also left a message on a friend's cell, asking her swing by and maybe pick us up.
Why?
