I remember when I was younger, my father and I would play a little something I knew as the Strategy Game. In that game, I recall one time my father asked me what I would do if there ever was a Zombie Apocalypse. I replied with 'I'd kick some zombie butt,' followed by a fit of giggles. Now, at the time, a zombie apocalypse was a crazy myth made up by a bunch of si-fy freaks with no life. Or rather, as I would consider them now, the freaks I wish I would have listened to.
If I had listened, I may not be in such circumstances. Cold, alone, scared, etc. In the beginning of everything, my parents decided it was safest to ship me off with some people I've never heard of in- heavens, who knows where! Separating from my family was hard, and the first few weeks were even harder, but by now that all seemed like a faded memory. I've learned to fend for myself and depend on no one, because you never knew when someone would just use you as bait. I've seen it happen.
Before I was shipped off, I was able to steal a simple pocket knife from my father's work shop. It wasn't much, but It worked well to keep me alive. I've witnessed many attacks in the past few... months.. weeks -how long has this been going on-? Oh who knows, but I've witnessed a lot. Thanks be to whatever deity out there keeping me alive. I have yet to actually face a zombie attack. I've always made a quick escape, but the numbers keep getting larger and larger, and I have no doubt that something was going to happen soon.
