Lindsey Ann Grimes

The City of the dead... uh I'll pass

Lindsey's Pov.

I have been on the road for what felt like forever. I had stopped several times and siphoned the fuel out of cars to keep the cruiser going. I had found some food and weapons in cars that I stopped and looked through. Although I would have made it to Atlanta earlier if I didn't stop to raid the cars. But I may never know what would happen if I didn't stop the cruiser to peek through it. I started driving but stopped at a traffic snarl. Everything was dusty and the bodies in the cars look mummified which by the way is creepy and reminds me of movies that I watch with Carlos without my dad's permission. 

Now that I think about it I do a lot of things with out my dad's permission. I am a bad kid. i fill my gas tank up with several trips from cars to siphone the fuel. I reach the out skirts of the highway and pull over and took out the binoculars that I found in a car and peeked through them. I see a whole bunch of those zombies walking around and a red car in the far distance blearing the alarm. I shake my head at how stupid that was. I see a van following it and they turn onto a dirt road that leads to the quarry and forest that is by Atlanta. A prime camping stop that many chose to go. I went there several times with Carlos and his parents to go fishing and that was a fun time. But now it is more serious and you have to be more alert now a day's. 

I started the car up again and followed the group onto the path and parked behind them and guns were raised and there was a lot of confuse people. I stepped out and people gapped. I looked around and I see Shane and dad looking pretty pale and Carl started running to me. 

"Lindsey!" He shouted and hugged me. 

"Ouch." I said with a wince as he hit my bullet wound that is still healing. 

"Were you bit?" Shane asked pulling me into a hug also. 

"No, but my bullet wound hurts like crap. That and waking up to a ghost town that has a bunch of dead bodies made me think I was in a horror movie." I said with a smile. He chuckled and Dad pulled me into a hug. 

"But hey I was able to do so many things on my bucket list!" I said with a large cheshire grin.

"And what would that be?" Shane asked. 

"I robbed a police station, several convinence stores, I saw Mr. Daniels the teacher I hated so much as a zombie and I bashed his brains out. I went hang gliding oh and I also broke into several vehicles and ramsacked them!" I said with a gleam in my eyes. They all bink and Carl started laughing. I started laughing to but stopped and rubbed my stomach. 

"That was on your bucket list?" A Korean dude asked dumbfounded. 

"Yup and I am almost finished with it. I got shot so I can mark that off my list. I only have going to a prison to get down and I'll be finished." I said with a smile. Dad and Shane looked at each other. 

"Did she hit her head when she got shot?" Shane asked.

"No, but the idiots that kidnapped me crashed making me hit my head on the consule and drag me out for you to watch me get shot you bunch of idiots. Aren't you police officers. Why did you just stare at me in shock!" I said throwing my arms up. I blink and scrunch my eyebrows. I feel like I am going crazy by the second. I need to do something with my hands. I shake my head and put my hands to my temples trying to find clear thoughts. I walked and grabbed a stick and sat on the hood and started carving and I block out the world around me.
