It has been a long time since I last posted an update on the state of the world, and that is because this is the first time I've seen a computer in weeks. Which, as you can imagine, is a bad sign.
I set out to get food. All was quiet and fine. I made it to the supermarket, loaded up on food and headed back. Stupidly I ran out of gas about five minutes from the parking lot. It turns out that hunger makes you do stupid things. As I debated what to do, I suddenly saw them coming out of the wood work. Wandering down the street, coming out of the doors of the neighborhood houses, some evening sitting in the parked cars.
The point being is the zombies are everywhere, casually wandering around as if it is their world. And I suppose at this point it is.
I made my way back to the supermarket, as it was closer than any other place I was familiar with, not to mention there was plenty of food. A few managed to follow me, but once I was inside I had no problem hiding from them. Stealth is definitely not one of their strong suits. I was holed up in the supermarket for, by my count, 14 days.
And although they rarely came in doors there was never a day, until today, that I didn't see at least a handful of them wandering around out on the streets.
This morning, however, I was able to take the time to siphon some gas (which is not nearly as easy as they make it out to be in the movies, and gasoline does not taste good), make my way back to my car and get home with a stock of food.
Since this was my first time to really observe the zombies, I will say that they are slow moving and meandering. Although, surprisingly, they look very casual. I know that sounds weird, but it's the best way I can describe it. It's almost as if their wandering is aimless. They are certainly not in a rush, but they are going somewhere. Or perhaps I've just been stuck inside by myself for months.
Needless to say, this world no longer belongs to humans. I can only hope there are some of us still out there. But if I've made it this far, others must have as well.
