The Lone Survivor

The Long Walk

It was morning, and Kallie had packed up a small bag she had made out of deer skins. The bag consisted of:

a few dead chickens, some edible berries, and a water bottle Kallie had made out of some hearty animal skins.

Kallie had made a small shelter out of some tree branches she found on the ground. It was a sort of lean-to that sat in the middle of the field.

There wasn't much left to do, so Kallie took down her camp and threw the logs into the forest. Now she was ready.

Kallie didn't know where to go. So she just started to walk. She walked for hours and hours, only stopping to refill her water or hunt for food.

Hours turned into days and days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months.

------------------

Kallie was almost out of water. Her throat was dry and she hadn't come across any drinkable water in weeks. She felt like she could collapse on the ground and die, but she knew she had to keep going.

-------------------

It had been almost a year now. Kallie had barely enough water and a mere leg from a poor deer she had found. She hated killing deer. They used to be her favorite animal before the mysterious bombs. Whenever she killed one, she knelt beside it and cried.

-----------------

It was now sometime in August, and Kallie was preparing for the long winter. She had plenty of food and water, and was very content at the small camp she had made for herself.

She had built a small teepee out of bear skins. It was next to a big lake so Kallie had plenty of water to drink and bathe in. She had multiple food sources that came from the lake and the woods that was just a miles walk from her camp. Jake the rock even had his own small rock home.

Kallie was fishing while humming a random tune to herself. She closed her eyes, letting the sounds of the birds take her away.
