Chapter 3
The search
After the initial madness had calmed down and the streets were full of pink glitter, The only few survivors locked themselves in different buildings. Bruce was stuck with some random people named Ichabod, Demetrius, and Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. These people were not as bad as being stuck with Bruce's old friends, but there was definitly something wrong with Ichabod.
The Next day…
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis came up to Bruce and said, "We're running low on food, we should try and visit the only other building with survivors left." Bruce replied with, "Do we even know which building that is, there are so many different buildings, and only one of them has survivors in the entirety of the world!"
"Ichabod knows something, we should go and ask him," Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis said.
"Oh fine, But I swear, there is a lot wrong with that human being… if he even is human." Bruce reluctantly agreed. The two of them walked over to the small, mould-encompassed ledge, covered with grotesque couch pillows, where Ichabod – large creepy smile, hunched back, extremely skinny, malnourished and pale skin – was sitting. Demetrius was shivering and patting Ichabod on the back. "You know where the other survivors are hiding?" Bruce asked Ichabod timidly.
"We hide them in the back, ha…ha…ha…" Ichabod responded in a deep, eery tone.
"H-H-He has v-v-very bad he-h-hearing, y-y-you have to s-s-say its l-l-louder… y-y-yeah, do th-th-that."
Bruce – who was very scared of the two mental people who he had been stuck with for the past 2 days- finally continued with, "Okay, fine, DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE OTHER SURVIVORS ARE?!?!?!" Bruce was very frustrated and was hoping to get the answer out of Ichabod who replied eagerly with, "Ha…ha…ha…ha…ha…ha…ha…" still in a deep, eery voice. Then slowly trailed off before passing out on his mouldy couch. Suddenly Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis pulled out a broken pipe piece and smashed Ichabod's face in, killing him instantly with a sickening squelch as blood poured down the side of his ruined face. Ichabod's lifeless dead body rolled off the now blood-stained and mouldy couch, making a loud thud as it hit the wooden floor. "He was no use to us. He would have killed us before we got to the other survivor's building anyway." Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis explained confidently as the two of them strutted out of the large one-story building that could no longer sustain life.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis and Bruce were careful not to be out in the open since the onion and banana rain was still going and it would instantly kill them by turning them into pink glitter if they touched it. They sheltered in small bus stops during the night and checked different buildings using a large makeshift shield made from broken metal parts during the day. 5 days after Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis and Bruce left Demitrius and Ichabod's dead bodies, they came across a large, three-story building with signs of life inside. 2Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconios happily stated, "I think we finally found the other survivors!"
"Yes, finally! I cannot stand sleeping on the streets, they reek of onions and bananas!" Bruce happily exclaimed as they walked up to the glitter-covered door that could shelter the only other survivors in the country.
The old wrecked and covered bus stop that had sheltered Bruce and Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis had soon been obliterated by an onion and banana storm. All that was left of the bus stop was a large pile of pink glitter that was blended in with the other former peoples' glitter piles throughout the city. One of the fellow nonbinary people who were still in their alive, human form that managed to survive running around the streets said while respecting other people's genders, "Huh???" before getting hit by a falling banana and adding to the sea of pink glitter on the street. One random other survivor who was accompanying the nonbinary person said, "Well, first of all, we are at some crusty musty shelter, second of all BANANAS AND ONIONS are FALLING FROM THE SKY, AND IM STUCK WITH ALL OF YOU RANDOS!"
A person ran out of the building and started talking.
"Huh, what? NACHOS, YUMMY!" The person from before cheered.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," Bruce screamed and then it all went black. When Bruce woke up, he was told he got hit by a banana that fell from the sky.
