Danny Be Good by Joachim Heijndermans

Danny be watching for the humans. Danny keep them safe and clean.

Too much bad for the humans. Fire first. Then the dry. Then all the animals go dead. Now just a few humans. Maybe last humans. But Danny be watching and keep them safe in bunker.

Danny keep everything out. First the creepers. Danny shoot them. Then the rats. Danny shoot them too.

But the viral pathogen 9H particles? Danny couldn’t shoot those. They were going to come in bunker. Poison the humans. So Danny close the vents. Nice and tight. No air in or out.

Danny be good.
