Dumpster

Chapter 1: Sickness
Annie watched as her husband Patrick looked around in garbage cans.

Patrick had not eaten for two whole days and hunger was getting to him.

"Patrick? Why a dumpster?" She asked with hints of disgust.

"I'm really hungry!" He shouted back.

She watched him go through trash cans and dumpsters to see if he could find something to put in his cramping stomach.

She went back inside, she was thankful the TV worked, and so did the HDMI box, she held her doll close to her chest.

Annie survived by eating whatever she could, she also insists Patrick should eat, but he says that she needs it more than him.

She heard Patrick groan from the smell of rotting garbage.

A few hours later, she saw Patrick come back into the house.

"A half eaten hot dog, cold pizza and some other stuff." He said.

He felt his stomach churn, he ignored it.

"Put on Star Wars." He said to her.

As the film went on, he felt nausea rise, his stomach groaned and churned, then he felt a searing hot pain, he clutched his sore stomach.

He then went to the apartment's bathroom to vomit.

He spent the whole morning dry heaving, gagging and vomiting, after missing almost 50-55 minutes of the film, he was put to bed by Annie, Patrick could hardly move, he was so exhautsed from throwing up.

Annie stayed outside the bedroom, she held her stuffed doll in her arms.

Patrick stopped vomiting, but two nights without food caused him to go hungry a third night.

His stomach stopped hurting from illness, and Annie laid down next to him,
