Humanity (Carl Grimes Gay)

Scaffolding I.

[Picture is Layne]

Probably one of the worst things that could ever happen ... happened . I guess poverty , congress , and all that shit equal nothing now where as they used to run the world . Heh , the dead runs the world now . No doubt .

Now , you might be asking ,'Hey , are you insane or is there really an apocalypse ?'

Yes , there really are zombies trying to eat people and you're an asshole if you ask me that question . It started just a few years ago and it's officially gotten boring for me .

'Hey , Layne ?' Feminine hands snap in front of my face

'What ?' I shake my head 'Sorry'

She sighs , placing her hands on her hips . That would be Hunter .

'What ? I said I was sorry' I rub my hands over my eyes and huff

'I was just saying that maybe we should head west' She takes a spoonful of pudding 'I heard it was safer down there'

'You heard ?' I chuckle 'From who ?'

'The radio ... ya know , before our car was destroyed by a falling airplane'

'You say it like it was my fault' I mutter , stuffing Chex Mix baggies into my black drawstring bag

'If the shoe fits ...' She giggles

'I'm not Cinderella' I deadpan 'Far from it , now would you stop eating pudding and help me ?'

'I am helping !' She holds up her pudding can and smiles 'I'm feeding myself . That's helping !'

I chuckle , shaking my head 'Idiot'

'Do you hear that ?'

I stand still for a moment , and yeah , I heard the faint sound of growling

'Always' I mutter as I search around for it 'Don't know where it came from though'

'Let's just get this done so we can leave ... quickly'

'I don't know , I kinda like the whole death idea' I joke , closing up my bad before slipping my arms throw the string holes

She laughs 'How do you think we'll go ?'

'Um ...' I hum 'You , from pudding overdose . Me ... maybe a badass overload ?'

'Pfft , loser'

-

I don't exactly remember the last time Hunter and I ran into survivor trouble . You know , like , cannibals or something ? I don't really know . It's been awhile .

I do know that we ran into 3 little girls and their Aunt who turned out to be a mentally unstable woman who acted a sociopath and threw 3 year old tantrums .

She killed all of her nieces and tried killing Hunter but I was able to dig my ax in her chest before it was possible .

We gave the little girls the best burial we could . It was a bit hard , but we managed . I mean , they deserved to have something meaningful . They were beautiful kids .

So , I guess you could say that we're 'doing well' . Sometimes this whole debacle isn't all that bad , it has it's good days and it has its bad days .

Everyone thinks that the actual apocalypse is exactly how it is in the movies . Heh , clichè much ? It's barely even close .

'So , how long do you think we have ?'

'Well , judging by all the pudding you've eaten ... 3 hours ?'

She laughs 'What about you ?'

'4 hours because I'd have to carry your dead body'

'I'm not even that heavy'

'But you'd be-'

Oh no .
