It was yet to be known what the child was.
It had come this Christmas night of all nights.
The snow had fallen to the earth in frozen pictures of frilled lace.
The year unknown as earth had changed so much .
Christmas was no longer a sought after holiday. All hope and caring had seem to cease from the people who now hunted for food just to live everyday.
They had not wanted a child in this desperate world but it had come upon them from no where. Bruce and Shelia had not been the best people ,but yet not the worse.
Drinking and drugs ran rampant and they themselves had had their share of all. Even the sex.
Their lovemaking and her off and on praying for a better life drove them to survivals they knew had to be face daily to live in this extinct world.
He had been the caring man side of the affair. She the devoting woman. Their lovemaking superb nightly. But always careful to avoid a child.
Sheila knew not where this child had come from. She had been extra careful ,but now that it was to be they worked around the child inside to live.
The anti Christ now roamed and ruled the world as it was now. The cities destroyed . Life stood still for all. Medicines and hospitals no longer existed.
All hope gone. Prayers was said in hidden dark ways .
Bruce knew he and Shelia had to survive and make sure this child also survived in their world. Their love for each other in their eyes and everything they did.
The days were agonizing as they hunted for food to feed themselves and care for the coming of this child.
