I walk to the father and the daughter and ask them where the nearest shelter is.
This response was ok, (instructive criticism) but try to describe How you walked over to them, what you specifically said to them, and maybe even tell me/other people reading how they smell or look? Its your story remember haha.
"About four-five miles down the highway here. There's a small town, unless you mean any type of shelter, Then you'll run into an over pass in 2-3 miles before you reach the town." *Says the man* "Do you have any food mister?" *replies the little girl* "You know better then to ask people for things Ashlyn!" *The man says scaldingly*
*NOTE* Do not be so negligent. Even tho the man has a little girl, that doesn't mean he wouldn't just kill you outright for your stuff to better provide for his own family. But in this very rare case, there are still good people left in the world.
