In the Apocalypse

Zombaby

"Wisconsin Cheese Day Parade?" 10K read a sign as we ran from Zs.

"Oh, you betcha." Addy chuckled ,as she helped Serena keep up. Poor girl. Nine months pregnant and doing this type of running.

"Hey, I thought you control those things." Vasquez said to Murphy.

"Not that many. And not for you." Murphy said indifferently. We ran up a hill. I was losing my breath. I don't know how much further I could keep running.

"Whoa, wait a minute. Is that cheese?" Doc asked. Serena started coughing. She stuck her head in the hole of one of those picture things ,where you put your face so it's something else with your face on it.

"No way! The world's largest wheel of cheese!" 10K exclaimed.

"It's not real! Doc! Come on! We got to go! Puppies and kittens!" Warren called.

Doc used his knife to cut piece of the cheese. "No it is real!" Doc called. He took a bite of it.

It's real. Thank God. I've actually been craving cheese lately. It feels like I haven't had it in forever. I cut a piece out with my knife and took a bite of it. I almost moaned at the taste.

I went to the side and cut out a large piece. I wrapped it in one of the few clean bandanas I had left. Then I stuffed it in my bag.

I walked back to Doc. The sound of Serena vomiting had me holding back gags. Then the wind was beginning to pick up and I caught scent of her puking. It was so bad I couldn't hold back my gag at the smell. I can't handle the smell of puking or the sound of gagging. It makes me want to gag and puke.

"Hey, come on. Let's move. We got to go." Vasquez told us. I turned around and threw up on the road. I didn't have time to run somewhere to puke.

I felt someone pulling my hair back. I glance over my shoulder to see it was 10K. He started rubbing my back in a comforting manner.

I heard everyone else talking but I couldn't pay attention. I soon finished and stood straight again. I wiped my mouth.

"Are you okay?" He asked me.

"Yeah, I'm good. Stupid weak stomach." I assured him.

I looked over at the others. Warren and Addy were pushing the cheese wheel down the hill. Oh, this kind of thing again. It reminded me of Philly ,with the Liberty Bell.

"How long do you think it'll go?" 10K asked.

"Could go for awhile. I'm pretty sure it's all downhill from here to the Mississippi." Warren answered him. "Now it's time to go. And if anybody asks-"

"We were nowhere near Wisconsin." We cut her off ,knowing what she was going to say. I think that's one of her way of keeping Garnett alive since he's the one that said that about the Liberty Bell.

Then we all started running again. 10K stayed beside me. I think he's just trying to look after me after that. I'll be fine. I just can't handle people puking.

We found our way back to the black SUV we have been using. Warren was driving. Vasquez was in the passenger seat. Cassandra, Murphy, and Serena were in the back seat. Addy, Doc, 10K, and I were in the trunk.

We drove for a while. I really had to go to the bathroom though. Well part of me just wanted to sleep, which is why my head is currently in 10K's lap. I sighed and sat up.

"Warren, can we please stop?" I asked her.

"What for?" She asked.

"I really have to pee." I exaggerated the word 'really'.
