E.M.P. 333 Days

What about this?

No.

Well, you need to do something!

I'm fine.

Sitting inside all the time is not fine.

You'd just be bored anyway.

You know your Grandma's real happy...

...that you're staying with her.

You guys can take selfies...

...and text emoji's to each other.

- Are you hungry, dear? - Yep!

Okay, I'll start dinner then.

No fish though grandma!

I hate fish.

Right!

I see you found my journals.

Why do you write in them?

Well, it's where I keep...

...my thoughts, and my ideas and my feelings.

You can figure things out when you write them down.

This one's for you.

Oh, fun.

Tensions are rising as the prime minister...

...of Canada, president of the United States,...

...and Mexico are in their 3rd day of talks...

...with North Korea.

The talks are centered around an on going nuclear test...

...being carried out by the North Korean military.

Kim Jong-un has stated that North Korea...

...desires to be a nuclear power...

...only to level the playing field and promote peace.

It is hoped that a resolution will be found...

...by the end of the week.

Tonight's weather will be clear with...

I just got a text from Dad.

Those cell phones really amaze me.

We'd be lost without them, wouldn't we?

Did you text when you were younger?

We didn't even have cell phones my dear.

Okay, grandma.

We didn't.

Oh, my!

What the heck.

Oh, darn it.

Oh, I got nothing here. Come on.

Just had it fixed.

How much further to your apartment, Grandma?

Walking?

I don't know, dear.

Few hours I suppose.

Oh, good.

Grandma?

Grandma?

I went down to the store to pick up a few things.

Joe at the grocery store...

...let me in the back.

Showed him some cash and in I went.

The whole town is locked up.

No phones, no street lights, no cars.

Doesn't make any sense.

Would you like some eggs for breakfast, dear?

Okay.

Are you okay?

Just the old pacemaker acting up.

I'll be fine.

How's dad supposed to get home?

By car or plane I suppose.

Well, I'm sure everything's working where he is.

What if it's not?

He's really far away.

Your dad will find a way, Niamh.

He's really good that way.

How are your eggs?

They're fine.

Grandma, that's not enough.

Well, it'll do until help comes.

And...

Your dad dropped this off a while back.

Go check that I locked the door!

The door's locked.

That's good, dear.

Let's make some tea.

- Would you fill the kettle? - Yeah.

Grandma?

Grandma?

Grandma?

Grandma?

* Breathe, breathe, breathe *

November 3rd.

Grandma died.

I'm alone.

It's been 10 days since the EMP.

That means Electro Magnetic Pulse.

Nothing works except for some old flashlights.

Dad told me it could happen one day.

I don't know where he is.

Things are crazy outside.

I'm hungry!

I'm looking for donations!

Anyone?

December 15th.

I'm so thirsty.

I don't see anyone around town anymore.

A bunch of people left a few nights ago...

...because of the crazy man.

He's taking everyone's food.

Well, what's left of it.

I have three weeks of food left, and no water.

Dad showed me the emergency stash that's buried...

...in a field near the house.

He knew this would happen.

He's supposed to be here with me.

I hope he's okay.

* Hallelujah *

* Hallelujah *

* Hallelujah *

* Hallelujah *

* Hallelujah *

* Halle... *

Merry Christmas, Niamh.

For me?

Yeah, it's for you.

Oh, I didn't get you anything.

That's okay, that's okay.

Are you sure?

Go ahead, go ahead.

Okay.

Wow, I love it, thanks so much.

I think it's in here somewhere.

This is a great little tool for survival.

You should take this.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey...

Look.

Damn.

December 28th.

It was an exciting day today.

I left the apartment and I was chased by the crazy men.

I ate frozen worms and I'm staying in an old boathouse.

I need to get to Dad's emergency supplies.

I just don't know how to get there exactly.

Is anyone home?

Hey, that's far enough!

I don't have food for ya!

I have just enough for my family and that's it.

You need to turn around and leave now.

Now!

Go.

Hello?

Who's there?

I'm down in the basement.

I'm trapped. Please come help me.

Please, please.

Hello?

Please help me, I'm trapped in here.

There's something blocking the door, I don't know what. It won't open.

Please just pull it away whatever it is.

Oh, thank God.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, my God, I've been trapped here for days.

I can't see a thing.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Okay, it's just, here.

Are you alone?

When do you think the power will come back on?

It won't.

Everything is fried.

There's no help?

Well then, we're a team.

Sure, a team.

Remember what I told you,...

...when the food runs out people will get desperate.

They'll wanna take your clothes, your food.

You have to be careful who you can trust.

How can I tell?

You'll be able to tell,...

...just look in their eyes.

You can feel it.

Your mum was real good at that.

I saved someone today.

A boy.

His name is William.

I looked into his eyes, I trusted my gut.

We have one or two months of food left I think.

It's so cold.

I hate winter!

How much?

50, 60 days worth.

I thought there was more.

Are we close?

Not Really.

We're here,...

...supplies we need are here.

Is there a place called LANG?

LANG?

No, why what's there?

My dad says there's a group of people who are ready,...

...for what happened.
