I sighed and lay my head against the window.

How could this happen so fast? Last week a punched a kid out for saying

that The Beatles were lame, now I'm trying to find enough water to stay alive. I'm seventeen freaking years old!

"This is ridiculous. Like something out of War of The Worlds."

"More like World War Z," Nattie snickered from the front seat.

I clenched my fist as we went over a bump.

"Don't tell me that was a-"

"Yep! Another a zombie!" She said, almost giddy.

"That was way too cheerful for a hit and run."

"Yeah and probably everyone we loved too."

"We'll..yeah."

We rode along in silence like that for awhile, and I closed my eyes. I didn't wanna see what was out the window.

"I don't believe it. God, I don't believe it."

"What's going on?" I mumbled, rubbing my eyes.
