Day 35

Today we came across what was left of four bodies. Three were together and the other was slightly away from them. I know it sounds strange but the one by itself looked different to all the dead bodies I have seen. It almost looked like this person hadn't tried to run away.

I thought about it and the only thing that made sense would be the Screamer I saw. Maybe these four were together and one saw the Screamer, believing it to be somebody who was hurt. They moved over to them, and were set upon so fast that they couldn't react, and indeed so fast their friends didn't make an attempt to run.

I guess if they really were together then the utter shock and horror of seeing your friend mauled would freeze you for a moment.
A moment frozen in this world normally leads to your last.

Still no trace of Rani along this path. The more we tread here the further we go from our goal. But at the same time it's been quiet, and we've been sleeping. I suppose it's not overly smart to both sleep at the same time, but we don't have much of a choice if we want to be moving all the time we are awake.

Frankly my leg is beginning to hurt a lot. I hate how no matter what my right leg still won't get stronger; I've always had issues with it.
At the rate it is going we will need to take a couple days rest soon.
I bet Sam will voice annoyance of putting things off, but at the same time I think she may be relieved to just relax for a while.

I've been thinking over what I said yesterday. It is truly strange how it only takes a moment to realise such a thing. I've been thinking about my family and friends and former life and I'm not as stricken with guilt as I thought I would. I take solace that in me my family lives on, and in me my friend's antics live on.

I'm coming to realise that the end of the world wasn't the end of everything. It was just like the change of a century, the changing of the guards, the changing of Parliament. Things change. And no matter how much emphasis we place upon them; no matter how monumental they seem, in the end they are just a term we use to explain something that happened.

The end of the world doesn't mean the end of humanity. It just means the end of that way of living.

Potentially we can just start again. Start anew. Potentially... But anything can happen. My life might end. The plan might fail. But that will just mean Plan A is over. And we start again. Start anew...

Maybe I should stop sitting in people's expensive armchairs. I contemplate more than I should, and I tell the story of my past less than I promised.

I hope you make another day
