dirty, I don’t have shoes, I have none of my stuff anymore, I just have you and Mr. Floppy right now. I wonder if anyone else in there has been alone like me. Have any of them had to walk around forever trying to find someone, or somewhere to go?
Wait a second.
I got a little closer, but I’m still behind some of these trees. I think I hear other kids in there! That makes me want to go in there even more, but I’m still nervous.
Okay, I thought about it for a while, and I think I'm going to go say hi. I just hope this is a good idea. I think it is. I really do miss having friends. I'm still a little scared, but I'm going to do it.
Wish me luck, Barbie.

Barbie, I know what day it is again! This is the first time I've had to talk in the last few days. There's a lot I have to tell you, but I have a little time right now.
Remember how we found that trailer park and I told you I was going to go say hi? Well, I did. I was walking kind of slow because I was scared. When I got closer I think they saw me, because a couple of them started saying, “Hey, you down there!.” I looked up to say something, but I got scared again and didnt say anything, I just stood there.
They kept trying to talk to me, but I didn't move or anything. I don't know why, I just felt so weird trying to say something. I walked closer, then I heard this really loud boom, like from earlier. My left leg started hurting a lot, and then I think I fell asleep, or something.
When I woke back up I was in this doctor's office. There was a lady in there reading some papers, and then she saw me and started talking to me. She was really nice to me. She asked me my name and where I came from, and she was really surprised that I had walked so far all by myself.
I was kind of nervous talking to her. I wasn't sure she was going to be bad or not, so I tried to get up and walk, but then my leg hurt again and she said I had to stay in bed. It was weird, because I actually felt really safe. I'm not used to that.
She said her name was Rita, and she was a surjen. I told her my leg was hurting a little, and when I looked at it, it had this big bandage on the bottom part. Rita was saying how sorry she was that it happened, but she fixed my leg and she said I'd get better real soon. It might have a scar, but I'll be back to normal and I'll be able to walk.
I told her I didn't know what happened. Rita said that one of the men on the outside of the wall thought I was a zombie! I asked why, because I don't look like one at all! She said it was because I was really dirty, and because I wasn't talking, I confused him, and he shot his gun at me! She said that he wasn't a good shot, that's why he hit my leg instead of my head.
I almost died, Barbie! I always thought I'd be killed by a zombie, not shot by accident. I felt kind of mad, but she said that he felt really bad about it when he found out I was a real girl. He was helping her take care of me. She said I was asleep for about 2 days! I was pretty tired, but I feel like I got good rest.
Then he walked into the room, and he said hi to me. I kind of said hi back, but I had a hard time looking at him. He came up to me and said he was really glad I was getting better, and that he felt really bad about hurting me. I didn't know what to say, so I just I nodded my head at him.
Then he gave me my bag and Mr. Floppy. He was all clean! He said that he was really dirty, so he decided to wash him so he'll feel better. Mr. Floppy DID look
