THE LURKING DEAD

The City

"Hey, I think I see a city ahead." Kenny said, loud enough for everyone to hear.

Carly stood up and walked to the front. Clementine and I followed.

"What city is it?" I asked.

"Not sure. I've been here before but that was a while ago." Kenny said.

I looked at the city ahead of us. There were many large buildings. None of the buildings looked like they had working lights or electricity in them.

"How long till we get there?" Clementine asked.

"About thirty to forty minutes, maybe." Kenny said.

"I wonder if there are any survivors." Carly asked.

"Do you really think this is a good idea?" I asked.

"Yeah for the most part. Think about it. We will have more food... maybe, new cloths, and better shelter." Kenny said.

"I don't know about this" Katjaa said "There's probably a lot of walkers."

"True, but we have to stop. The oil in the RV is running low." Kenny said.

"Wait... why didn't you just get some oil from the gas station?" Carly asked, slightly irritated.

"I looked for some but I couldn't find any." Kenny replied.

Everyone watched intently as we approached the dead city. After a while, I went back and sat on the couch. Clementine followed. Eventually Carly walked back, sat on the bench, and looked out the window that was next to the table.

After a while of waiting in silence, I noticed that we were entering the city. Everyone walked back to the front of the RV where Kenny and his family were.

Everyone watched in silence as we entered. The city's streets were empty. We couldn't see any walkers. Occasional doors were left open on some buildings.

"Lee" Clementine said, tugging on my shirt and pointing."

"What Clem?"

"Look!"

I looked to where Clementine was pointing. There was a walker wandering about. Most of it's skin was disintegrated from it's face. It looked like it was maggot infested.

"Ewe." I said in disgust.

We continued to drive on. An occasional car appeared every once and a while on the side of the road.

"Has anyone seen a hardware store yet?" Kenny asked.

I looked around. There was a gas station ahead.

"There's a gas station ahead. Maybe we can find some oil there." I said.

We drove to the gas station and parked.

"Alright you guys stay here. Lee and I will go check it out." Kenny said.

"I'll cover you." Carly said, taking out a pistol.

"Where did you get that?" Kenny asked, slightly mad.

"Cool it Kenny. Your not the only one with weapons here." I said.

"I found it in one of the suitcases while we stopped at the gas station earlier." Carly explained.

"Alright." Kenny said.

"Who do you think you are? Some sort of overall leader?" Carly asked, annoyed.

"Shut up missy or I'll kick you out." Kenny replied, getting mad.

"Shut up Kenny. You stay here. I'll go with Carly so you can cool off." I said, starting to yell.

Carly said something under her voice and exited the RV. Kenny gave me a mean look while I did the same to him. Then I grabbed my crow bar and exited the RV.
