snippet: Joel could remember the day vividly. When his father surprised him with that truck—seventh generation Ford F-Series. He was in love instantly. After that day, he was almost never home. Always out, doing something highschoolers probably shouldn't be doing.

He had to retire that life quickly though. Making stupid decisions only lasted so long before something actually happened. And something definitely happened. He got his high school girlfriend pregnant. And then Sarah was born. Not that he didn't love her. Because he did. She filled up his heart so quickly, he wasn't even aware he could love something so much, let alone something so small and fragile. But she meant that Joel actually had to clean up his act.

He had to get a new truck, one that actually had a backseat so he could put the car seat in. He could never get himself to get rid of the F-Series though. It stayed in his garage, covered with a tarp in case he ever decides he wants to bring it out.

But then that shitshow happened. Carnage filling streets, ash and smoke drifting up into the air. The night his world collapsed. Holding his world in his arms, her small gasping breaths slowing down, blood staining her shirt. They tried to leave, make it out of the city before some car totaled Tommy's truck.
