I wake up, like every other day, early, hidden somewhere, and reach for my backpack. My backpack has everything that I own in it. I don't have much, only the essentials: water, flashlight, batteries, canned food, toothbrush and toothpaste, hair brush, knife, pistol, rope, blanket, sweatshirt, my phone with it's charger (if I ever found an outlet), some pictures of my past, and several more various items.
Last night, I decided to sleep in an abandoned factory hidden under a collapsed cement beam. Every morning, when I wake up, I brush my teeth, brush my hair, and if I'm by a river I wash my face. It might sound silly keeping good hygiene when almost every human has been occupied and you don't know when your time will come, but I like to stay clean and brushing your teeth helps prevent diseases, now a days. The last thing that I would want to kill me is some sort of mouth disease, I would rather die fighting for my life, like in all of those cool action movies.
Once I finish brushing my teeth, I put my toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush, and blanket into my bag, and head towards the entrance. You never want to stay somewhere for more than one night, for safety precautions, even if it's the best hiding place you will ever find. Those who have made that mistake never saw the next day.
I get outside, and the sun feels so nice on my face. I take a survey of the area, and start walking down the cracked road. Everywhere you look there is debris, weeds growing everywhere, and dust. Everything is just so overgrown and disgusting.
The occupied act perfectly normal, but they do not care about how everything looks. They live in these conditions and it's revolting.
I see someone up ahead and dart behind a broken down car. I can tell it's a man, because of his height, at least 6 foot tall. I can't tell much about him from here, nor can I tell if he is occupied or not, so I decide to stay a safe distance away. I can, however, tell he heard me. He turned around and examined the area. It's weird, to me, how he was just standing out in the open with nobody around for miles, besides me. He starts to walk my way and I duck down below the car window so I can't be seen and I can run if I have to.
