Day 60

As I looked over another white morning today I sighed. Maybe it was true; maybe they finally got it right. Maybe the forecasters actually were able to predict something. Maybe it would be the coldest winter in current history (whatever that phrase actually means).

Based on that we wrapped up as best we could without limiting our ability to run and fight. I regretted not picking up some of my dads cooking equipment. Sure it was heavy and slightly dangerous (flammable) but with days like this ahead we need warm food. We also need shelter every night, so that is a priority come midday. Once it reaches 1pm we will search from a house to stay. Though we may easily survive the night the risk is too high. Frankly I want to live. That's it simply put.

We watched as Rani passed and took a chance to shadow a group. With the wind pretty much non existent the group in front would not find us. A later group would but with any good fortune they will be far behind and not be able to catch us.

We passed a few turnings with them lurching forward and scrambling badly over cars; occasionally waiting for their stragglers to catch up which was interesting to see. The ones at the front just stopped almost mid step in anticipation, and the moment the others caught up they carried on. This pace was easy to follow but it was actually slower than the pace we used to set in the city, especially adding on that we had to be even more careful when climbing cars when the group was easily within ear shot.

Eventually they followed a path I didn't want to so we were faced with travelling in a direction that could hold Rani moving towards us. But with the Sun blazing down and it still being cold we carried on in the hopes of finding another building.

We did. We reached the village I was aiming for and found a place to hide. Watching the houses I couldn't see any movement except for one which appeared to have a Rani moving about the living room unable to get out, which is probably for the best. One less to worry about.

Other than that nothing. That always concerns me, but no matter; we will only be here one day.

I am still aware I haven't spoken any more of Day 4 but with what is happening now I just cannot spend my time focusing on my past. It's all about where we are heading.

I hope you make another day
