Jeric was standing on the rooftop and looking around. Distant buildings are billowing with smoke, a sign of disaster.
"Seems like you thinking so deep, Jeric." A woman's voice from behind. Jeric turned around.
"Oh Sheila you're here. What the news?"
"Nothing. I'm bored right now. Wait, where's Daniel?" Sheila stepped aside and leaned against the railing.
"Just got back from a raid."
"Wow, he's really getting better now. He's joining the raids. You're really the best, Jeric."
Jeric smiled at Sheila. The girl blushed a little at Jeric's gaze.
"Um.. Jeric, where is your family? We didn't ask before. I don't even know if you have a wife?"
"My family is in the province. We are actually from the city but my father moved to the province and I grew up there. I just hope they are safe now. I no longer have contact with them."
"How about your wife?"
"I don't have a wide anymore." Jeric looked away again. His face is sad.
