Fallen

Ok, I'm back from a very cautious night. Yesterday's hunt for a place to stay was unsuccessful. Last night I had to climb a tree and hope for the best. Luckily I'm still alive. I don't know how to kill those things, and even if I did, I don't have a weapon to do it with. I'm guessing my bare hands won't do any good without a gun or baseball bat or something.

Now I'm in need of two things, a sustainable store or shelter of some sort, and a couple of weapons to defend myself. With the store it won't be that hard to find. It's just that last night I didn't have much time until dark so I didn't look much. But Today I've got a good couple hours to search. The area I live in are full of good supply stores, but non of them have both the things I need. Usually they have one or the other. For example, Kroger. It's jam packed with food, but close to no weapons. And once I pick a spot, I've got to stay there a while because who knows how many of the infected will be aimlessly roaming the streets by then. So I need a place like walmart. It has a quiet big food supply, and it's own weapons area.

Getting a head of myself, the couple hours I spent wandering, I saw a couple of gang members robbing a convenient store. No cashier, so they got off pretty easy. As I walked past, one of the members gave me a weary eye. I looked at him the same way and we exchanged nods. I walked past a couple of other stores being stripped bare,but no trouble. That is until I decided to try and grab a couple of supply's from an abandoned store. As I was making an exit, a couple of guys walked In. Trying not to get noticed I hid in the bathroom and locked the doors.i gave it a couple minutes, then looked through a little crack in the door.i didn't see anyone, so I unlocked the door and stepped out. Very bad choice on my part. All of the guys I saw before were there, plus a couple of other guys. As soon as I saw them I froze for a second and thought, "life was good while it lasted". Then the adrenaline kicked in and I bolted toward the exit I was heading for before. It was on the far side of the store, right passed the crew that was there. Instead of using my brain, I used my adrenaline filled legs and went with it. I was almost out when one of the guys noticed the bathroom door slam shut.

My pockets where stuffed with the items I'd stolen from the store, witch slowed me down more then I'd thought it would have. So instead of dying with pockets full of cheap energy bars, I emptied my pockets and ran as fast as I could towards the woods. After about ten minuets of running as fast as I could, I stopped. Luckily I'd lost them or I would have been done for. After that I managed to sneak into another store but no one was there, thank god. I got an cold sandwich, and a bottle of coke. It wasn't the best supper but it was better than losing my life.

After eating the things I'd retrieved, I wandered around a bit looking for a good place to sleep. A place that would hide me from anyone that happened to walk by.

After looking for a good hour, I found a tree that was pretty tall and had branches strong enough to hold my weight.i struggled to get to a spot sleeping worthy, let's just say my expertise is not in tree climbing. My brain refused to shut off after the day I just had. But after a couple hours of wondering what lies a head in this crazy ass journey I'm on. I managed to fall asleep. I dreamt of me getting tore apart by One of the infected just like that old lady did to her son at the funeral. In an act of pure terror, I woke up at least 3 times that night, scared out of my mind that I'd actually gotten caught witch those cold, life draining hands, of the infected.
