I lied beside her until the air grew cold and the sun kissed the ground.
I was unable to touch her and she was unable to respond but I talked to her.
I told Lucy the stories that my parents had told me before they left, the stories on why the sun shined and why the sky was blue. I told her of my earliest good memories and my earliest bad ones but most of all, I told her I loved her. I told her over and over the three words that hadn't come out of my mouth when she was still able to hear.
When I couldn't find anything else to tell her, I picked nearby flowers. I picked the red roses, the yellow daisy's and the purple wildflowers.
I lay them beside her.
Then leaving my beautiful Lucy behind, I drove away.

It was going to take me days to reach the next large town.
But I had a plan.
I would eat what I needed to survive and I would drink what a needed to survive. I would rest and I would treat my cuts and bruises.
But once I was in the city, I would kill. I would kill the infected until the world was rid of them, or I would die trying.
It was kill or be killed but either way, I was never going to be happy again.
