Gotta restart the timer. Baby handoff.

There's a dumpster fire in the alley behind Sven's house. Sven is a tall man, and Sven is a running man. He is currently running from a pack of wolves. What do you expect? It's the apocalypse, and Sven lives in Scandinavia. other parts of the world have urban ruin (like more dumpster fires) but Scandinavia has wildlife overrunning their towns. The apocalypse is mostly environmental. All the places that were cold, are warm now, and the warm places have lots and lots of storms. That dumpster fire is kind of exciting, it's a reminder that there are enough humans left in Scandinavia to throw flammables in dumpsters and get them lit

There's a deer that Sven hopes the wolves will chase instead, but the deer is faster than him. He needs to get inside, but he can't afford to mistakenly run up to a door that's locked and lose precious time. There/ That door is slightly ajar. Ha. It's in a jar store.

I'll ask you what's funny in a second. (Said to @stinawog who just said, "oh, that's funny.")

The jar store has jars inside it. Oh, right. Sven got in and closed the door. For a second he worried the door was ajar because it was stuck and he wouldn't be able to fit through, but no, it was just one of those swinging doors like are often on a 7-11, but it wasn't entirely poised aright, so there was a gap. You know how that is sometimes.

The door doesn't lock, but the wolves don't know that.

It was that an acquaintance of ours just moved to the same small town as another acquaintance of ours. That's what was funny.

Sort:  

Oh no, the aPACKalypse!

Ahhhhh... what happens NEXT?

Loved your take on the prompt today :)
