I knew I had to do this right. I've been over and over his notes on that day and I remember his descriptions of what happened and could have happened.
The group was down by two of the original members but in following there seemed to be 3 new ones. There was also one haunted looking girl who was still easily recognisable as the one who had to live regardless of what happened. She saved him. I'll save her.
The issues lay in finding a place for my equipment safely while maintaining my safety when I try to turn the tables on them. And figuring out how they function as we... Me and he... saw the dead former leader over half a year ago.
Hunting them and staying hidden however turned out to be really easy. They didn't even seem to try to hide themselves. Two had proper weapons in firearms while most others had axes or show swords.
They were aggressive, until they saw a random survivor. They must have missed the noise a few hours earlier but I didn't. It was a boy maybe only a few years younger than me. Crying. Over his mother. Or maybe just a woman who helped him. The noises? Her fight to kill the two Rani that trapped her. From how the dead lay I would say she got one then died. The boy must have gotten the other. It's strange how I was able to think that before seeing him, even guessing how they lay. It makes me wonder if he was right; that I have an insight he never did.
When they saw him they rushed back to hide then started to discuss their plan. I was sickened by this, but to act? That would ruin everything. Three days following them would be wasted.
So I watched. They left him crying for an hour. Calling the Rani in. My skin crawled with knowing that
Finally they moved. Carefully, with small smiles. They knew what they were doing. They had done it all before. Still I watched. I waited. Barely.

Changing tides
That group I said about? It would seem it is a small world. It also looks like Day 4 isn't so far away. Time to see how they like being tricked.

The city in Sun
I was thinking about my previous post and I thought best to clarify: we did have a lot of set backs when it came to travelling away.
This city is strangely compelling when silent. The wind screams through so freely around all we made. Even more so seeing it has been overly windy recently
There are signs of people being here since we left. Cars have noticeably moved, namely on exit roads and the like. But no movement that I've seen.
The strangest thing I have noticed is that there is a noticeable layer of dust on cars. I know occasionally you saw it but every one I pass had a complete layer. I say had as I drew on some to pass the time.
One final thing is I have picked up a noticeable trail left by a group and I'm pretty sure as I'm following it the things are getting fresher. For one the mould is less the more I travel. They obviously stick around more than me.
I will keep you apprised.

On the road - Distant travels
I suppose a new introduction is in order for late joiners. I'm Sam (see below for more details). I currently travel alone and occasionally I will write these messages for you in the hope that you will gain something from it. It also allows me to stop going slightly crazy from being alone.
My last post, first post, was done the day before I set off from the Satellite station. It's only been a few days really but I'm almost back. Compared to how long it took to go the other way, I am amazed.
Back being Hereford itself. In the hopes I find purpose or something to distract myself.
Hesitantly I left the van at the station, hidden as best as I could. I would like to use it but in being alone I felt it put me at risk. Say if it broke down or something.
I didn't like my last sign off. I can't quite put my finger on why however... I want to say 'Keep in touch' but it's too much like a damn letter. How about;
End (I like the sentiment, almost like his but not)
