Second Chance

12

I hit jackpot today. I found a big home car van? A delivery van possibly. Cause it had some old boxes in the back. Not the badass car but beggars  cant be choosy.

I drive with speed but slow down as i can see what looks like a city. I cant be sure abandoned buildings covered in weed and dust. Not seoul i cross my fingers. Im out of food a can left. A half bottle of water. Maybe new clothes and shoes.

Fuck it im going. I enter the city and spot lots of walkers . A hoard. I kill the engine and duck under as low as possible. I can hear my heartbeat drumming against my chest. After a long wait for them to pass by i hear the groans and growls have quiet down.

I need the car here. I wont go to far into the city. I grab my backpack and cover my face. Lets do this. I run to some store nearby there are walkers inside. I see some walkers outside too. I hide behind some alley. There are few walkers but in different places i cant take any chances. I try to find a good place to scavenge . I find a perfect place a convenience store. I find spam there. Yoohoo. I grab a lot of cans of spam and other canned food. Then water and i find soju too. Im tempted. I cant live like a beggar. While its been three years it might be still okay. I grab few bottles and stuff them. I open one and gulp down as the strong drink burns my throat. I hiss and cough a little bit. I dont like drinking cause it doesnt taste sweet yet.

I slowly sit on the floor and as i force down the drink i am lost in my thoughts.I think some people came here at some point. There is empty spaces on the shelf. Im all about survival but maybe im too harsh. In a few more years these things wont be here. Some day it wont exist. People would go crazy over a tiny chips. I should do whatever i want. And i want those chips and chocolate. Those sweets. Its not like i will die from them. My survival rule is to live and my go to line is fuck this ill do what i want.

I grab what i can and stuff them in my bag. Its stuffed. I cant find any clothes store i can scavenge. So i hold the soju bottle in my hand and take a gulp. I stare at the bottle its half finished . Dayum so proud of myself. My breath stinks. Am i drunk?

The bottle slips and i cuss out in korean. Sebal. I find walkers coming so i sprint. Im a little woozy. I run and run. I stop and breathe. I look behind they are a little slow but i see walkers up front. I go along the alley i realize im lost. And in the city. There are hoards of walkers everwhere. How can i find my way back?

I find this old shop to hide its filled with weird stuff i think its an antique shop or not. Looks like a old garage filled with unwanted stuff. I dig through them cause i love snooping around. A lot of interesting stuff but nth i want. Then i find two daggers looking like sth the black widow shit. I guess its like movie prop but its real knives. I find it goes around my waist with a belt and its hoister is behind in a x. Yup definitely black widow shit.

I find more props. Boots with ninja blades inside. They had no use maybe but i liked it. The boots was a little big so i stuffed took some cotton out of a doll and stuffed it in there.

I smile happy cause till now my weapon was kitchen knives. I cut myself few times cause it had no cover and i felt like a butcher.

Now with my new weapons i stride outside feeling bitchy. I usually didnt kill when i was on a supple run. Or scavenger hunt i like to call it. But an exception as i wanted to try my new stuff. I find a few separated walkers. I lunge to them and pull out my daggers from behind and slice them. After im done, kneeling and put them back in but i struggle a little. I need some practice but i feel good.

I skip happily and i spot what looked like a police station. More weapons. This is the best day of my life and nothing can ruin it.

Oh how my words would bite me back.
