With the explorer up front, leading the people as they walked past the grasslands, they soon found themselves on concrete roads. One the explorers stumbled upon on one of their ventures. Roads were good, it made their traveling easier. It meant less bumps for the carriages to pass through and less spillage of their supplies. But from then on, it would be a struggle to gather more food. They definitely had to make do with whatever food supply they had managed to collect in the previous days.
As dusk neared, the group had decided to set up camp inside one of the stores they had found open. Inside seemed as if it were a mansion. It came as a surprise that some establishments weren’t really shrunk. Perhaps the Giant mechanical fishes only targeted people and structures which contained large amounts of people in those times. It didn’t matter anyways, as long as they had shelter to stay in for the night; and being in a store was a change for all of them. They could see if there were other survivors as well as collect more food for the remainder of their unknown journey.
As the ladies were left to set up camp, a number of the men went off in search of items they were sure they could bring along for the road. Of course the chips and biscuits were always a favorite. And it was sheer luck that the freezers were still lined up with a number of beverages and most of all, ice cream! they would need to come back for those later so they could share with the group.
As the men progressed deeper into the store premises, faint rustling sounds could soon be heard; and it wasn’t just that but also the sounds of tiny footprints came. The sounds seem to be drawing closer and the group started to compress themselves as their acquired blades were brought out as well. Could it be the aliens that shrunk them? It couldn’t be, no one ever saw what those creatures looked like to begin with. But the sounds were coming just from behind the chips on one shelf. They took careful steps then pushed the bag of chips away. It was a rodent! A big one whose height seemed to double their current size.
As soon as the rat caught sight of the group, it scampered away, unfortunately, some of the men went off on a chase with it. if they could acquire that rat, it would mean a more permanent transportation method. With rope in hand, one of the men came in and tried to tackle the rat down and eventually tie it up so they could drag it back to camp. For now, they would need to tame the rodent while they continue to stay in the area in search of more survivors. What they feared though, was if the rest of the colony that rat belonged to, would end up looking for it. They better be prepared for it too.
