Utah seems to be going on forever! We have been in it for about two months now. Not really resting either. How are we not out yet? Annabell keeps whining that is she hot, and can't breath. I tell her that we are almost out of Utah, but to be honest I have no idea where we are. I thought we were going East, then we see the Great Salt Lake. WHAT! How did we get all the way up here? Where there is the Salt Lake that means there is the city. I wanted to avoid cities at all cost, but we were almost out of food, and there is both in any state that we were going to go through. It was now or never with getting food.

When we reached the city, it was nightfall. Annabell and I needed to find a place to hide and now. The freaks are more active at night, so it is better to be somewhere hidden. I get Annabell in a small bunker like thing, and tell her I am going to go make sure there are none of the freaks around. There was nothing... It was almost scary how vacant the city was. I had heard rumor that the Mormons know this was coming, their prophet or something had told them, so they all left, I guess to the safe haven in Missouri, but I had no idea. There was just no one here. I walk around a little, and find a gas station. Its lights were on. What, why are the lights on? No one should have electricity anywhere. I run in and get everything I need. As I am about to leave I heard someone call out to me.

"Hey you! You one of them, or human?" His voice was shaky. He had a gun, and looked not even 14 yet. He had dark hair, and a dark tan. He was not very tall though. He's voice was weirdly high for how old he looked

"Human, don't shot. It's okay man. Put the gun down. How old are you sonny" I put my hands in the air, and turn around all the way.

Reluctantly, he put it down, "Sorry, you are the first person I have seen in about a year. I am 14, name is Cody." A year!!

"How long have you been here Cody?"

"A year. The people here left a lot of stuff, and there are hardly any of those things here. I thought it was as safe as any."

"Do you want to come back with me? I have a sister waiting for me, we could use someone else to help out, and I don't think you want to be alone forever."

He nodded, "Yeah, please."

We start to walk back and Cody starts up a conversation, which was okay. I understood why. If I had not seen another human in about a year, I would be talking up a storm too.

"What is your name?"

"Erik."

"How old are you? You look like your 18."

I laughed, "No I am only 16."

"Really? Wow."

We reached where I left Annabell. She was sitting in a small ball.

"Who is this?" Annabell says a little scared.

"It's okay Anna. This is Cody."

"Hey, are you Anna?"

"It's Annabell actually, but yes."

"Anna, I got a lot of food, and fresh water for us." I say to her.

"Sweet, I am starving." and she is back to her little old self, forgetting there is a stranger right next to her.

"Here Annabell, eat up." I gave her some chips and a drink, "You can have chocolate later."

"CHOCOLATE!!" She had not had chocolate since all of this had started.

"Anna be quiet. Just because we have not seen any freaks does not mean they are not here." I scold her.
