Romance in an Ending World

Chapter 10: Blank

"We have to take a whole new route now, because of those things!" Sean hits the rim of the wheel, getting frustrated.

I can't even have a conversation now. I can't stop thinking about my family, and what the walkers could do to them. Or has done to them.

No! I can't think like that I just can't. My head is starting to hurt, from all the things that are in my mind. I reach up to my forehead covering my eyes.

Sean notices, "Hey, you ok? You don't look to well."

I just look up at him, and smile slightly. I don't need him to worry about me. He smiled back, and turns back to the road.

My head is throbbing, my elbow is losing a lot of blood, I can't even feel my leg, my wrist is shooting with pain, the cut on my forehead feels like the knife is cutting it over and over again, and my shoulder feels like it going to fall off.

"We are almost there, about 4 miles away... So, you never really told me your name." Sean's voice grew smaller and smaller.

I started to shut my eyes. Slowly. Trying to keep my eyes open, and I try to blink them open.

"HELLO, STAY WITH ME!!" is the last thing I heard before my world turns dark again, and I slip into the best dream I've had in hours...
