a guy a week ago and was slowly burning his way through it. He didn't consider himself a "pothead" or a "stoner"; he didn't bake all the time. It was just something to take the edge off. And now seemed like a really good time to take the edge off. Staring at it, he contemplated smoking a bowl or maybe six.
Just fuck yourself up. Yeah and just ride this shit out...
He shook his head.
And then get torn to pieces by those freaks outside. Get yourself together man; this ain't no time to bake!
He dropped the box on his bed and made his way into the living room. Pausing on his way at his mother's door, he looked in. Everything neatly in its place, still waiting for her to come home. Her bible still sat on her bedside table. Jeremy walked up to it and looked down at the book. The leather cover was cracked and the pages were worn from use. Every morning she got up and read this thing.
And what good did it do her?
It was something she treasured deeply though, perhaps only second to Jeremy himself. He grabbed it and stuffed it into his bag. A picture of the two of them sat next the book. He grabbed that too.
Back in the living room, he gave the room one last look over. He was really stalling for what he was about to do next. Even before the dead started attacking the living, it was one of the last things he wanted to do. He reached for the phone.
"Why am I even bothering?" He asked out loud.
He first dials his father's cell number. Straight to voicemail. He redials his home phone. Answering machine.
"Typical Dad," he sighed.
Regardless of how he felt about his father, the man was now the only family nearby. He would have to go find him and see if he was okay. Or still alive for that matter.
Fantastic...
What Next?
