the night sky always fascinates me, all the stars and the planets. i remember in my first science lesson. we were introduced to how stars are just balls of gas burning in the sky. i always thought how easy life would be to be a star. however i wouldn't want that life, there would be no purpose. no meaning. at least here, on earth, i have some purpose. i am yet to find out that purpose, but still.
The gas station door creaked loudly as Kay slowly peered in, to avoid attracting anymore walkers. It was pitch black. The only sign of light was a small neon sign that sat alone at the back of the counter. Kay slipped into the curtain of darkness
I stood and waited by the door waiting for a signal that it was okay. minutes went by, more like hours. at least it felt that way. i grew impatient as time went on, growing anxious as more time slipped away. i looked around to see no trace of life, it was dead. dead silent. dead quiet. dead dead. it was so dead it needed cremating. i looked up at the night sky to see bright stars exposed in the beauteous night sky. i felt as my eyes reflected the moons vivid glow, as it returned into the abyss of the night. it made me wonder about stars and the galaxy. millions of light years of planets and stars and all of this happens on earth? what are the odds. surely theirs more to this than meets the eye, this...this horror of a world. maybe theirs more to me than meets the eye? i shook my head and chuckled at such a thought, as my train of thought changed once again.
"James!" a voice echoed from the gas station, interrupting my thoughts
"y-yeah?" i returned
"fucking come on then, I've shouted of you about 5 times.
"jeez, im coming hold on" i rolled my eyes
i re-opened the door, followed by a loud creek. i jumped at the sound, stumbling and tripping on paint cans that were inconveniently placed. i fell to the ground, grabbing a near by shelf to avoid the fall. unfortunately, the shelf came falling down wait me; as it tore off the wall. tins of white paint fell on my head, opening as they made contact. paint went everywhere, everywhere over me.
Kay burst into a fit of laughter as she turned to see me covered in a thick layer of white paint dripping from head to toe.
"stop fucking laughing man" i said wiping and flicking paint off my face.
Kay continued to laugh, this time harder knowing she as annoying me.
"watch what happens to you!" i said making my way over.
her face dropped as leaned in for a hug and covered her in paint. i began laughing at her as she stood up, rolling her eyes, annoyed at me.
"stop fucking around James!" she said sternly, shutting me up
"clean yourself up dipshit" handing me a shirt she found on the floor. luckily the paint was cheap and shitty show the majority of it came off however my cloths were stained white.
"gonna have to myself some new cloths asap" i stated to Kay. she looked me up and down as if she was agreeing, in her own judgmental way.
I began looking around ,searching for supplies. thankfully i spotted two backpacks in the back corner of the shop.
"these will do perfectly to carry our supplies" i said to her. she replied with an agreeing nod.
as we were done searching this dump we came out with a flashlight, matches, five tins of soup and 4 bottles of water. at least its something. i guess.
Kay and i agreed it would be safer if we camped here for the night. shelter from rain and walkers. its okay for now. we both slept close together keeping a bit distance between us to avoid an awkward encounter. luckily the paint managed to remove all of the blood on my face as well so i didn't look like i was one of them anymore (walker)
i couldn't sleep, this was the first time i had slept anywhere but my own bed. i didn't go to anyone's house because i had no family to visit neither any friends to sleepover. yes i know its sad being 19 and having no friends, but I've managed up until now. luckily i had one friend. that is if she even was my friend. i did just save the lass, so i hope that's enough to be considered a friend. i listened to the trees blowing in the distance as the sound from outside, trickled in through the vents. i think this is the most peace im going to feel for a long time.
i slowly closed my eyes to the sounds and suddenly... black.

"you are so fucking delusional its ridiculous" she said spitting every word out into his face
"guys can we stop fighting please!" i announced to the two of them
"im the delusional one? your the one that killed an innocent man" he exclaimed, pointing his finger in her face.
i could see her go red in the face seen as that had nothing to do with it. I knew one of them was going to do something they were going to regret.
"no i killed a problem. ill do it once, ill do it again" she said angrily, raising her gun at him.
he looked stunned but without thinking he to whipped his gun out and pointing it at her forehead.
"Please, just fucking stop. Shes all I have left in this shit, fucking world." i said panicked.
"so you are in love with her then" he said with tear filled eyes, turning the gun at me.
"fuck you, fucking pull the trigger but watch out, karma is on the hunt and it gonna slaughter you like a pig" i said to him furious.
the last thing i heard was a gun shot.
"james!" i heard shoutout
"James!"
"James"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"James!"
"wa-what?" i replied to the voice
"James come one its morning we have to get moving" Kay replied
i had one of my dreams again. they were so vivid it was crazy, they've only happend the past few days. what do they mean? are they important? I better get going, Kay will be furious.
