Infectious (Phan)

Part Two (Destruction)

It seems like the sun, and the road, are both making it their mission to make me absolutely miserable. The heat, combined with the weight of my bag, and the fact that I've been walking for two hours straight makes it hard not to take up the offer of a little rest, that my body is begging to have.

So far, I haven't came in contact with any people; or zombies. Only traces of what's left behind by them, but I can tell that they've moved through here.

It looks like a disturbing ghost town, that was hit by something absolutely awful. The only sound that I can hear are the sound of my own two feet, crunching against gravel. Abandoned cars are at the corner of every street, rotting food items and trash, scattered outside of every ransacked, beaten down structure. Decaying body parts line every side walk and every street, along with a smell so unbearable it makes my eyes water and my nose sting.

I'm hoping that I can find something that will be of use to me soon. Right now, I'm heading towards a small town, and what I'm hoping is that since it's so small, it won't be as picked through as this place is. I could even get some more food, find some shelter, or actually run into some people; or worse.

From what I'm calculating, I'll be there in about an hour if I continue at the pace I'm going. Except I've been walking for so long, I can barely feel my feet.

Maybe it's stupid for me to hope that I'll find something of use to me. This whole world has gone to shit, I know there have got to be people out there who have the same idea as me. They key to surviving now is survival of the fittest, people who are willing to fight for their needs, now that they're so scarce.

Day 2
Dan Howell

Today, I walked for hours in the blistering heat. My body feels as though my mind has betrayed it by choosing to stay out in the heat for so long, sunburns are covering most of my body. Pale skin and sunlight don't mix well together, but sunburns are a laughing matter at this moment in time. My worries are far worse.

So far, I haven't crossed paths with anything dangerous, but I can't say I've came into contact with anything that would help me. Right now I'm okay with that, because I'm still in one piece. I'm scared that I won't see my friends ever again, my family, my boyfriend. Everything that matters most to me disappeared in an instant, and left me on my own.
I'm still coming to terms that life is very different than how it used to be. Humanity has caused its own demise, as some people had feared. It's a sad, strange world we live in as humans, but I'm still grasping on to the tiny bit of hope that I have left. There are still reasons to live even when the world seems at its worst.
