Day 32

It rained today. Admittedly only for half an hour or so, but we haven't had a real dose of rain since this started. Hopefully it has cleaned the street a little bit.

Due to the location of the house and the foodstuffs it had we decided to stay here for another day. Upon searching we found a bow and a set of arrows. They appear to be reasonably cheap. A hobbyist perhaps. Other than that nothing of true note.

Day 3

9:46am

I sat with my head in my hands trying to wipe the memory of the nightmare away. After quarter of an hour I gave up, stood up and stretched.
I walked to the cabinet and tried to move it, but I was so tired. My arms and legs still burned like they did the night before. I couldn't muster the strength to move it, so instead I sat beside it crying for a while.

Eventually tears stopped and I was left just staring at the wall. I felt my resolve forming. I started to learn what I wanted to do. I wanted to find as many people as possible and find somewhere to live. I didn't care about the cause of the reanimation, all I cared about was not falling to it any time soon.

I stood up and with all the strength I had in me I pulled the cabinet out of the way. It dragged so slowly that I started to feel new pain. The pain of lifting something dozens of times too heavy. But I got there. I stumbled down the stairs and pulled open the doors in my way to the fridge. I grabbed at things and gorged myself. I threw up, washed my mouth out with cola and tried again. I hadn't eating properly in 2 days and I had exerted a huge amount of energy. I knew I needed the food. At the fourth attempt I succeeded in keeping the food.

I walked to the lounge and looked out the window, biting on a block of cheese. I hated the taste and it's always made me feel slightly ill, but it was the only thing that I could keep down ironically.

Cars littered the street. Remnants of people lay around them. In one case it looked like a Rani was actually stuck in a car about 400 metres from me. I crossed that path off of my movement plans.

I finished the cheese and turned around for a moment. I realised this was a persons home. Their life was being shown through the items they had purchased and the way they had lived. I scratched my head and went to look for more food to eat. Musing on the idea that someone once thought these bricks were all that were important and if they were here now, they would realise that there is so much more to life.

The way I saw it then there were 3 things

1) People

2) The world

3) Yourself

Ironically this end of the world actually meant that Earth itself might actually start to recover what we have done to it. But at the same time it has put the other two on the list on the endangered species list. I chuckled at the concept. My opinion has slightly changed now, but that is to be covered and explained later.

I hope you make another day
