back to her room. I looked at Trillian who looked almost as mind blown as me it’s been years since Ruby ever needed to be alone so we waited for her to come back out and we talked to her about what happened. She said she saw a friend of hers well was a friend she said she saw an infected trying to get in and shot it when she went to move it away she saw it was her friend Melissa I think well it must of been hard to burn the body after seeing that it was a friend I’ve been there more times than I can remember.

Trillian) When she was done explaining I kinda felt bad for because I could relate to that because there is a lot of infected that I have killed and they were people I knew but I never really paid any attention to it really there is only sometimes when I notice and it takes me much longer to burn the bodies but other than that I just pay attention to killing the infected and surviving but sometimes I ask myself why don’t I commit suicide because I’m basically infected I have just figured out how to control it.

I tried not to think about old times for the fact that it would just make it a worse situation than I am already in. I mean no one expected for those things to invade, not even the best physic in the world could have known, but it doesn’t matter now, because half of the planet is dead anyway we only got ourselves and anyone we find on the way. After I said goodbye to Eefa I had decided to leave for food, so I left a note on the door as I left,

“Went to go gather food,  I’ll be back soon.”

As I scavenged through the streets I came upon some bushes bearing with fruit, I stumbled upon water as well. After I had gathered food, and a couple of bottles of water I had made my way back to camp safely. I told them what I had found, and then later we had a meeting about whether we should move or not. I mean after being in one place for
