Luke
I leaned against a tree, my side and legs hurting. My breathing was low, and rather caught in my throat. I had just ran from so many dam walkers, since, well, I couldn't fight off all of them in the dark. I shook my head, and continued to walk. I knew I was almost there...I knew it. I knew I had heard the truck just seconds ago.
The dark was all I could see, besides the light shaded ground. I took deep breaths as I continued to walk on. I couldn't run anymore, I knew I would probably just crack and fall. I shook my head, my eyes heavier than they ever were. I just...needed sleep. And food. My sides ached and burned. I knew if I kept going on like this, I would die. The trees either side of me began to narrow, and soon I found myself looking at Howe's.
Holy shit.
I did it!
I crouched down low, and saw the parking lot in the distance, along with many walls, probably cornering off the pen. There. I know there's a gap between the side stores and the wall, and some kind of closed off entry into the shop. I saw guards, walking on the rooftops, with walkie talkies and guns. I just couldn't prance right in. I sat down, and crossed my legs. I just needed to stay put until they switched guards...
...
I felt like I needed to kick myself awake everytime I was falling asleep. My neck craned due to the overfocus on the guards. I saw Troy, his crusted figure ages away, move away. I leaned forward, trying to see if it was like I thought. No one came up after he left. I picked myself up, and ran ahead, my stiff legs carrying me across the parking lot as fast as they could. I sighed, and collapsed against the wall once I got there. I groaned, and my limbs shook as I heard footsteps walk back upstairs. Shit. They take one look over the edge, they'll see me. And they'll shoot me dead. The wooden walls I leaned against could make way for me, surely. I gripped the sides of a gap, and etched it open. I kept pulling until it seemed like the size of my shoulder. I barged in, either sides of the gap closing in me. I grit my teeth, freezing, and pulled the rest of myself in. The sound of the wood clapping into eachother was quiet, not loud enough for them to Here.
It was dark, but I could still see one of the stores. I put my hand on the doorknob, and pulled myself in. I walked onwards, the dark folding up on me. I walked behind empty shelves, and lay down. I squeezed my eyes shut, and moaned quietly due to the hunger, walking and tired pains. I lay my head back, and triumphantly went to sleep.
Tomorrow, I needed some kind of master plan. Something that would help Nick...and the others, of course.
