3 years, 2 months and 10 days.
That's how long it's been since Annabelle came home to find the ruins of her family's caravan and her mother's body.
Long years, hard years, but she's managed to survive. She's running low on ammunition and lower still on food, which is why she's hunting geckos in the fading light of the evening.
Her trusty cowboy repeater is aimed at a very nice specimen. If it just comes a little closer......

Date: 2012-07-09 05:04 pm (UTC)She ponders the fact that she's eaten 200 year old irradiated fancy lad cakes before. "Yeah, we do, don't we? Never really thought about it that way."
"Do you want to come back to my camp with me?" she asks. It's getting dark and there are all sorts of nocturnal things that would like to snack on tasty human flesh, so she'd better be out of the open soon.

Date: 2012-07-09 06:34 pm (UTC)Annabelle snickers too. "Might have soiled myself if I'd eaten anything lately. You're damn scary!"
The campfire is still going, thank goodness! Annabelle adds some dried grass to feed the fire and starts butchering the gecko. "How long has your family been in this area, if you don't mind my asking."

Date: 2012-07-09 07:09 pm (UTC)The gecko is...well, no longer raw, nor is it incinerated. By Annabelle's standards, that's really good. (A chef, she is not.)
Annabelle takes the gecko off the fire and lets it cool a bit.

If you guessed there's a story there, you'd be right.
