In the Apocalypse

Philly Feast

The truck slowed to a stop. We were all looking at the truck near us. It had the Liberty Bell strapped to the back of it. 

"Is that really the Liberty Bell?" Mack asked as we were all getting out. 

" 'Proclaim liberty throughout all the land and unto all the inhabitants thereof.' Yeah, that's it." Garnett confirmed. 

"Three years of the apocalypse, you think you've seen everything." Doc stated ,walking over to the Liberty Bell. I walked over to it as well. 

"Well when everything went bad, they probably tried to save a little history." Warren said.

"Yeah, well they should've known the only thing they can save is yourself. Let's go!" Murphy exclaimed rudely. 

"Hang on. If this thing has a little fuel, and it does... If we get this started, they won't have to ride in the open like that." Warren told Garnett. 

"Well, I'm all for that." Doc told her. 

"I'll grab the jumper cable." Mack said ,going to do what she just said. 

"I actually like riding in the back." I stated. 

"Then, you can if you want. I'd feel better if you rode in a truck." Warren told me. 

"Okay, I'll ride with you." I told her. She nodded. 

"God bless the human race. 99% of them dead but there's still one jackass alive with a spraycan." Doc stated. I nodded in agreement. 

"This is why people are stupid." I commented. Murphy agreed with me. 

Warren open the truck door and a zombie jumped out of it at her. We all jumped out of surprise. The zombie then just dropped dead.

I looked back to the truck. 10K was holding his slingshot up. He had shot the zombie. 

"1,075." 10K counted out loud. Warren thanked him. 

Doc pulled our truck over to the truck with the Liberty Bell. He left it running. Mack set up the jumper cable. 

"Okay, give it a shot." Mack told Warren ,who was now sitting in the driver seat of the truck with the Liberty Bell. She turned the key and the truck started. 

"Alright, that's it. Let's go. Murphy, you get in here with ,Chris, Warren, and I. Everyone else follow in the pick up. Stay close." Garnett told everyone what they were doing. 

I climbed in the back seat of the truck. Murphy sat beside me ,behind Garnett ,who was in the passenger seat. Warren drove while Doc drove the pickup truck following us. Warren kept running into zombies ,not even trying to avoid them. 

"You know you could try to miss some of them instead." Garnett told Warren. 

"Why? One less zombie to kill." Warren told him. 

"Leave some for psycho boy, 2,000." Murphy told her. 

"10,000" I corrected him. 

"10,000? It's good to know kids today still have some goals. What's yours?" Murphy asked me with a sarcastic voice. 

"To annoy you from here to California." I smiled cheekily at him. 

"It's not working. You creep me out but not annoy me." Murphy said. 

"I haven't started yet. Just give it time." I told him. 

"Don't worry, she's one of those people that grow on you. You usually have to know her to tolerate her." Garnett told Murphy. I stuck my tongue out at him.
