!!TW: Mention/Depiction of Su!cide!!

Date: March 3rd , 2035 - A month after seeing other survivors

Y/n's POV

I lay in the backseat of an abandoned car, taking a small breath through my nose to calm myself as to not cry. I still haven't found another, safer, place to set up camp. I took a shakey breath, tears beginning to well up in my eyes. The little bit of food and water won't last me much longer, I need to find a nearby gas station or at least a squirrel I can cook.

I jump and gasp slightly, a seemingly newly infected person stood outside the car door that was behind my head.. but it had it's back towards the door so it didn't see me thankfully. I quietly and slowly pressed the lock on the car door, a small *click* was heard. I quietly did the same to the other three doors before I climbed into the drivers seat and putting my supplies on the passenger side. I popped out the part that covered the wires and took the cords out. Once I found the correct wires, I made an attempt at hotwiring the car. Fortunately, it worked! But sadly, the infected heard as the car engine roared to life.

The infected quickly whipped around and started banging on the window. The glass shattered within seconds as the window was already a bit cracked. My eyes widened as the infected began trying to climb into the backseat. I hit the gas and began zooming forward, swerving left to right in attempts to shake the disgusting thing out the window. The tears that had left my eyes earlier are now dry, I try to wipe the remaining bits of them from my eyes. Once I looked back at the road, I saw another infected?! I hit them straight on and they flew over the car, I laughed loudly but remembered about the unwanted visitor in the back window.

I looked at the rearview mirror to see the infected no longer moving, then out the side mirror to see it's...MISSING IT'S BOTTOM HALF??? 'WHEN THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN??' I thought to myself. When my eyes went back to the road, it wasn't a road anymore, it was me speeding towards a tree.. I didn't even try to stop because at this point, is there really anything to live for? My family and friends are dead, those survivors I saw are probably long gone by now and I'm all alone.

'I'm gonna die anyway from starvation amd dehydration so what's the point?' I thought to myself. I braced for impact and *BAM!* Lights out at last.

Brady's POV

Me and the group were walking and talking when a car came speeding by?! "What the shit?!" Madeleine yelled in surprise as she looked at the silhouette of the car. I ran and jumped over the rail and on to the other side of the highway, watching as the bottom half of what looked like an infected rolled to a stop in the direction the car was going.

I heard Mason come up behind me before calling the group over, "Guys! I think you should see this!" He said loudly. The rest of the group ran over and gasped as they saw the detached bottom half lying motionless on the ground. "What the hell happened?.." Jacob asked while trailing off. "I-I just saw a car speed by and then this thing was rolling on the road," I stammered, "it went that way!" I said while pointing in the direction the car was going.

We all ran after it as fast as we could, soon catching up as we watched the car crash into a tree. My eyes widened, seeing a human-like silhouette in the driver's seat laying motionless as I ran past everyone and to the car. I cautiously approached the window, noticing the motionless top half of an infected person, 'well that makes a lot more sense..' I thought to myself in surprise. As I approach the driver's side window, I notice it's the survivor we saw about a month ago but they're barely breathing and their head was bleeding badly.

"Guys, I think you should see this!" I shout back to the group, still staring at the stranger's seemingly lifeless body as the car began smoking a bit. I heard footsteps run up behind me, Becca gasping a bit from surprise. "I-is that-?" "The same person we saw a while ago? Yes. Are they alive? Barely." I replied, trying to avoid cutting my hand on broken glass as I open the car door and attempting to pull them from the tight spot between the airbag and driver's seat. "Someone help me out here!" I shout, noticing the guy's didn't run up to us yet.

They quickly came due to my yell for help, Miguel and Tristan helping me fully get the stranger out the car and laying them on the ground a ways away from the wreckage and debris. "Maddy, go with Mason and go get the medical supplies!" I say hastily, Madeleine nodding and dragging Mason while they ran off and I started CPR.

'C'mon.. Wake up already!' I think, increasing pressure on my chest compressions.

Y/n's POV

I took a sharp and deep breath, as if I had been under water for a long time. I quickly open my eyes, frantically looking around as I try to process my surroundings.

"So.. We meet again." I hear a kind of familiar voice say, looking up at the dark silhouette in front of me. "Who are you..?" I say, waiting for my eyesight to adjust to the bright place I was in.
