The wind tussled my hair as I walked up the empty road.
"We're almost there." The women who became ally said.
"Yeah but we're on foot." Chase leaned on a car and spread the map."You see there's a long stretch and if we wing it well get stuck in the night."
The old man spat. He yet to tell anyone his name. "What are you suggesting boy?"
Chase put the map away and faced him. "I'm suggesting we get off the roads. Set up camp for a couple days. Get our strength and supplies up."
"James?" Ally gave me a questioning look.
I had to agree. I don't want to get stuck around here at night. "Yeah...he's right."
Chase pointed at a house. "That looks secure." His finger drifted to the right. " And those look like they might have food. Me and James will look for food and supplies and you can clear the house."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Ally said nodding.
"Come James."
We headed towards the house.
" You ok?" He had concern on his face.
"Yeah why?" At least someone cares.
"Just making sure."
We tried the door. It opened with ease.
"Here's the plan well split up and take what we need and meet at the front door."
I nodded my head and went in the kitchen. Cupboards hung open and garbage was everywhere.
Opening all the drawers I found nothing. Even the refrigerator was bare.
That's when something caught my eye. A piece of silver in the sunlight. A can! A freaking can! I know this apocalypse just started but I hadn't ate in awhile and I usually eat a lot.
My hand clasped around it and it was heavy. A smile plastered on my face and then dropped when I heard dragging then a weight on me. It was a big fat man. Keyword was a big fat man. My legs was pinned and I couldn't move. It was as if not only a person put bricks on me, they dropped a weight too.The rotten flesh in my face twisted my stomach. That's when I realized I had the can.
My fingers tightened around it and came to the things head. I tore the skin open. Another hit. Blood started to leak.
"JAMES!" I heard a smash and then blood splattered on my face.
My body shuttered. "Are you ok?"
"Would I ever be."
