didn’t run down the freeway, I ran out into the fields from the house, so checking the map won’t do any good. I think I’m lost.
It was dark when I was running, so it was hard to tell which way I was going. I think that’s even more scary, not knowing where I am. At least when I know where I’m going I don’t feel so scared. Now I’m in some forest.
Actually, I’m not sure it’s a forest, but it’s a field with some tall trees in it. Usually when I think of forests there are tons of trees, and there isn’t that many here. So I don’t know. I hear a couple of birds right now, and it’s kind of nice.
Do you think animals turn into zombies too? I haven’t seen any, but I’m thinking it could happen. That’s scary too. Animals are harder to run away from, they’re usually faster than people. I have no idea what I’d do if that happened. I love animals, and I don’t want to kill one, but if it’s a zombie animal I might have to.
No, I don’t know how! I only have a slingshot, I don’t have a gun or anything like hunters do. I don’t have a knife either. Maybe I’d end up dead by an animal instead of a regular zombie. Unless the animals go slower too, so who knows. Maybe I’m getting worried for nothing.
I don’t know, I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be mean. I think I’m just tired, and I’m hungry. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this. Maybe I should have just died back there, instead of trying to run away all the time. I lost where I am, so now I don’t know if I’ll ever get to Grandpa’s house.
I think being all by myself is making me think about too many weird things. Stuff I don't want to think about.
I just heard a BOOM. It sounded a little like thunder, but there isn't enough clouds. I think.... wait, do you think it was a gun? Is someone around here?
Another one! It doesn't sound very close, but I think I can figure out where it might be coming from.
I think I should go see what it is. Don't worry, I'll stay hiding so whatever it is can't see me. I'll let you know what I find out.
Chapter 24
Barbie, you'll never guess what I found. Go on, guess. Give up?
Trailer houses! I hear people inside, too! I had to go a ways before I found it. I heard that boom a couple more times, so I tried to follow where the sound came from. There's a lot of tall grass around, so it's easy for me to stay hiding.
There's a really big wall fence made of wood and metal, and it kind of looks like some tall tower was built next to it. I see some people walking around it! And they aren’t zombies! I see them talking to each other! This place doesn’t look too big, but it’s hard to tell from out here.
There could be a whole lot of people in there. It’s been so long since I’ve seen real people. I feel happy, but kind of weird too. I actually am okay with being alone now, so hanging out with other people is really hard to think about.
I want to go say hi, but…. I just feel way too scared to. What if they think I’m strange? Or they don’t like me? Will they just tell me to go away? … what if these are bad people? There’s so much I’m trying to think about but it isn’t making much sense.
Is there something wrong with me? I should be happy that there are other people, right? Okay, I AM happy, but why do I feel scared? Maybe I’m just not used to being around people anymore. I don’t know, I guess I kind of feel like they won’t understand me.
