I stepped down the long cracked road, I checked my S&W.45 Revolver for its ammunition out of boredom again.           "Hey, unless you have magician bullets, you can stop checking to see if there there." Called out a voice behind me.
    I looked back, "Listen, we have been walking down this highway for about a week now, I think we all have a turned a  little more or less antsy."
   "Whatever" The kid jogged up ahead to the front of the crowd. How long has it been anyway? I reached down in one of my vest pockets and pulled out a small black notebook. 24 days since the death spike of the plague. That means around 6-Billion dead in 3 weeks. I put the notebook back into my pocket and started to pick up my pace as I have fallen behind the group.
    "Hey! Look a storage building, there might be food in there!" Looking where the small child was pointing I saw a huge brick storage building probably made for general stores around 2 minutes away. But I also saw something else, when I squinted my eyes. I saw at least five people walking out of the building carrying boxes.
   "Hey! There taking our loot, Get them!" A middle school looking kid screamed while drawing his knife and starting to run. Idiots. I though while trying to catch up so I can maybe stop at least a little bit of the violence.
