Samantha called a Neighborhood meeting tonight. When the local governments kind of just gave up trying to help when no one could get any more supplies from anywhere. Neighborhood HOA's sprang up to fill the void. Starting with community gardens and branching out from there. The suburbs turned in to small groups of compounds. Housing was less of an issue after the forth pandemic hit and supplies were just not there to help like the the first three.
It was not such great news. Acid rain had gotten into the community rain barrels. So our water rations will be cut again. I sake my head thinking of days when we would use fresh water to irrigate useless grass.
After we heard the news Heather and I just went back to our house sat in the front room and just cried. When all this started we made a rule you can let out all the anger and sorrow but after 10 minutes your done, then its thrown away.
I look at her and tell her i feel powerless I have to do something but what can I do?
I think for a long while staring out the window in the front door.
I'm gutted when I look at her disgusted with myself as I say, We are going to have to steal water from the next compound over.
