"You think you got this all figured out, don't you?"
Roughly four years ago the world changed forever - the dead began walking the earth, taking any life away from those in their path. Jaiden had started a community, with the help of Izzy, over two...

"That son of a bitch," I mumbled quietly.
Eric walked up to the gates of The Commissioner's place, men with guns aimed them at him, but quickly put them down and opened the gate for him. A man met him when he entered and talked to him shortly before leading him into one of the destroyed buildings.
I continued to watch the place as the gate closed, turning away when the men went back into their watch positions.
I walked through the yards of the houses that sat in the neighborhood, slowly making my way back to the original dirt path that sat at the edge of the woods.
When I made it to the path, I started quickening my pace so I could make it back before midnight.

I lied in my bed thinking about Eric entering the Commissioner's compound.
A part of me wants to go over there right now and kill the son of a bitch, but another part of wants to see him be killed by his own new allies, or someone else on our side.
But the biggest question is if I should tell Izzy.
Something tells me that she might react differently since this is Eric. That difference could either be "kill him he's a traitor", or "let him live maybe he's just doing this to get their information".
But knowing Eric, he definitely is not doing this to help us. Eric is just an all-around general asshole.
I'm also a general asshole, but -- I'm cool about it.
"Fuck," I sighed.
I had met up with Izzy earlier, mostly to see which side won the gun debate, and thankfully, the votes showed that only specialized people were to be given guns in the community.
Izzy said something about making a try-outs type thing for people who want to carry guns, but I know that it would end with almost everyone filling one out, and then we'll have to see what everyone can do for the second time.
I turned over onto my side and stared at the clock that sat on my desk.

I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and pushed myself up walked towards the bathroom. I glanced into the mirror before opened the cabinet and grabbing a tube toothpaste. I brushed my teeth quickly and then grabbed a bottle of soap and poured some on my hands.
I turned on the faucet with my forehead -- don't judge me, my hands have soap on them -- and put water onto my hands and rubbed them on my face.
I rinsed off my face and walked back into the main room.
03:32
"Damn I took a long time," I said.
I sat back down on the bed and shook my head.
I have got to get some sleep
I fell onto my back and closed my eyes, hoping that I would fall asleep soon.
