I start riding. I notice dead bodies everywhere.  Their supplies are raided, gone, stripped bare no clothes no nothing.  I shiver and keep riding.  There is a person ahead of me but i didnt take notice until a big flash.  A bullet lands beside me.  I pedal as fast as I can.  I grab my knife.  I dive off my bike and plunge the knife into his neck.  blood spurts from the wound as his heart takes its last beats.  

He takes a gutteral growl before hitting me.  not hard to do any damage but it knocked me off of him.  I start crawling back using my legs while aiming the rifle at him.  He spits out his last breath in a swear word.  Fuck.

I get up and shrug off.  I take his supplies and his pistol but not his clothes or money.  i dont want to disturb his "peaceful" sleep.  i keep riding.  shes 85 miles from me. if i take the most direct root that is.  stay off the road and avoid towns unless its nessecary i keep telling myself that.  i know it will be almost impossible.
