I pull my messy tangled brown hair into a high ponytail at top of my head. This is my life now, I've been alone for five months I've lost my hole family and it's all my fault, it's my fault there dead and it's as simple as that, I deserve what ever painful death comes my way and I don't care anymore, I just don't. There a gun shop about two blocks from here that's where I'm heading, I don't have any guns and I don't know how to shoot but I think I can teach myself it doesn't look that hard. I turn a corner and there's a small herd of walkers about 30 maybe more. I look down to see that the walker blood and gut on me has become dry and probably doesn't smell as much anymore so I'm going to get more. I cough loudly getting three walkers attention. I started towards the house, when I got to the house I make sure the walkers are following me and made sure to leave the door wide open I turned and face the walkers as all three try to get in at once. I am still walking backwards when my back hit a wall. I gasped quite loudly when the wall grabs me. Not a wall, not a wall. The walker growled in my ear as it try's to take a chunk out of my shoulder, my response is to kick, I kick backwards into the walkers knee making a bone braking crack while the walker drops to the ground his knee not looking right, I smirk hoping he can feel it. I know it's messed up to like killing the walkers and taking pride in it but it's all I've got left, the feeling of revenge. I pull my knife out of my boot and drive it several time into the walkers skull, I know it is dead the first time but I can't stop. Finally I stop when I hear the other walkers stumbling up the stairs I shove my knife back into my boot and grad my bow which is swung over my shoulder. I grab an arrow from my Catquiver and send it flying into the first walkers skull. He falls making it hard for the tow other walkers to get up the stairs but they do, I wait for them to climb the stairs, when they reached the top I led them away from the dead walker at the top of the stairs. When they are far enough away from him I dart towards it pulling the arrow out of the walkers head. I then run to the next walker pushing it down the stairs I stand for a second watching her tumble over and over till she reaches the bottom, I turned to the last walker and I notice that I've seen this walker before. Then I noticed the multiple gun shots in the chest. I killed this guy when he was human, I shot him so manny times as I broke into a million pieces, he raped my mother and he was going to do the same thing to me, a slight sob escaped my lips but I quickly replaced it with rage I stab it through the eye and keep going over and over this time I don't stop. After I'm done this head is completely gone, I stand up and gasp as something grads my arm I turned and realised that I had only killed the three walkers and that there is another one. Her teeth move closer to my arm as she pulls me closer, I fall and the walker falls on me as it grips my arm tighter, without thinking I reach down and try to find the arrow but I can feel it and I'm to scared to take my eyes of this walker, I change my mind and reach for my boot and pull out my knife shoving it as hard as I can into the walkers skull. It goes limp on top of me as I shove it off hard. I pull free and sit up to catch my breathe, I'm already covered in walker blood but I put more on me just to be sure. I cut open the walker that raped my mother and smother the blood and guts all over me, it smells horrible but I have grown used to it. I exit the house, three walkers had gotten in probably to investigate all the commotion but they wouldn't attack me because they think I'm one of them.

I enter the gun store to find everything gone, there isn't one gun or any ammo left it is completely gone, I sigh and walk back out of the gun store, I keep walking slowly because if I go too fast the walkers will know I'm not like them. I move slowly trying not to bump into any walkers even knew they run into each other all the time there none stop hitting each other's shoulders. I don't feel scared that I'm in a herd of walkers I feel almost comfortable like this is my home, I shudder at the thought this can't be my home it just feels like that because I spend more time traveling in herds then staying in one place, that's the reason, it has to be. Sometimes it worries me how much like a walker I am, I walk slowly with them I don't feel safe with people I feel more at home in a herd to be honest I hate people these days.
I keep moving with the herd until I feel a small shake in the ground, it could be a earthquake or a bomb or maybe just a fire in a petrol station. I hope it was an answer that didn't involve people. A shiver rans down my spine as a much bigger wave swept through the air and not to far away I could see flames from the explosion. I keep with the herd until we are close enough to the explosion then I will ditch the herd and go my own way.
When we are near the explosion I see that it was the CDC that had exploded, I know that there was people in there because I would walk past and I would see the camera move once and a while and I don't think it would move on its own. I don't know if I am sad it's gone but I made me think what if they were close to a cure? I would never know but I guess it didn't matter now. It had been about a half an hour since the CDC went up in flames so I guess I'm safe I walked away from the herd which was stupid enough to head straight for the fire. This is why they may have almost wiped us of the earth but they haven't, this is still our world and in my opinion this is what winning looks like considering we are not the ones walking into flames. I guess no one wins in the end because we have lost so much and they are incapable of feeling emotion. I think most people would have been shocked about the hole end of the world thing but I got used to it pretty quickly, I was made for this world the way I can cope with all if it I should have given up already but I'm still here so I never did.

It's been two days since the CDC went up in flames but I still feel uneasy I found a car and drove a little but it ran out of fuel fast so I'm walking again. I walk alone looking at the tall buildings which would have been something important and now there just buildings, ugly building there only use is to hide from the dead. I'm so tired I need somewhere to sleep I look at a building, it's ugly but I'm not looking to stay somewhere fancy it's so tall and I should be able to find somewhere there to sleep. I walk in and there is a few dead walkers but I'm not really concerned they could have been dead for a long time. It smells bad from all the walkers and I decide I should go to the top of the building so that I can get some fresh air and also so I can see if I can spot any people because I'm still a bit worried that someone made the explosion. I forward up the stairs there is so many stairs that I think I might pass out walking up because of how tired I am before the stairs now I'm nearly at the top and I'm thinking of steeping on the stair right here I'm so tired. When I reach the top I open the door to see something life changing. A man in a sheriffs uniform kneels on the roof talking into a Wilkie-talkie.
"I don't say I blame her, she lost faith the CDC was a dead end" I gasped quietly, it was him who make the CDC blow up why would be want to do that!?
"I met a man there, a scientist, he told me something..... He told me...."  He takes a breathe taking the walkie-talkie away from his mouth and I honestly don't know why I'm not running yet but I can't I'm to scared to move.
"It doesn't matter, what matters is were moving on Atlantis done were gunna try for fort Benin's were facing a long hard journey maybe even harder then I can imagine but it can't be harder than our journeys been so far can it?" I can't stand there anymore, I start to back away slowly but I stumble and hit the door which creeks loudly. I look wide eyed at the man standing in front of me and he looks the same at me
"Who are you" he says putting the walkie-talkie into his belt and grading his gun but before he could aim it at me I was running down the stair with him on my tail. I seemed to get down the stairs running a lot quicker now than I got up the stair dragging my feet along, I had been so tired but the rush and how scared I was had woke me up completely for now.
