Effectively we halved our distance today but with the Rani population growing due to their rotation of areas we had to circle a bit. Add to that Sam's injury still not being fully healed I just don't want to risk any infection setting in.
Good news is today I found a compass and a kinetically charged pedometer. Mostly I have been relying on knowing the area but when it comes to walking through the wilderness these two things combined will allow us to accurately see where we are. Assuming the magnetic poles do not shift of course.
Strangely even though it is fast approaching two months since our meeting we still find things to talk about, I suppose it helps that I'm now talking about pre-apocalypse. A lot of things happen in 20years. And you meet a lot of people... It's getting easier to get to terms with not ever seeing old friends again. It will never be easy though; the best and worst times of my life were defined by people and I doubt any of them draw breath, I may even have ended their re-life without realising it. Though if they live they would destroy the sentimentality of life I have created surrounding them. But within all of that I still cannot comprehend my family not being there any more; they defined so much of my existence that I fear that in losing them I will lose a part of me, I didn't feel that for anyone else that I've lost so far...
We can but wait for morning now though. But I hold little hope for a break. It occurs to me that every day that we are delayed may incur more death... Of course this means nothing to you yet because I have not explained my updated plan.
I hope you make another day
