Day 33

Even with the dreaded scene left behind us, I still felt on edge. No matter what I did to shake the feeling, I worried. When would we next stumble across something like that? Would we find ourselves in the path of what had caused it? How would I keep us safe? If there were only one or two people, we could make it out okay. But if there were a group of them? I didn't like our odds. The more I dwelled on it, the more I thought it had to be a group to have caused the mess.

On the plus side, there was a group of people going around the countryside hunting and killing zombies. On the downside, there was a group of people going around the countryside hunting and killing. There's no way we would be able to tell if the people who were part of what we'd seen were only killing zombies. Could people revert to their base animal instinct? Once they got a taste of killing, would it be the only thought that crossed their mind?

If only trust was something you could have for the people you run into. Not everyone would be willing to help. If I hadn't been so lonely, would I have helped Daniel and Rachel? Maybe not. If it wasn't for me, they might still be struggling to get the supplies they needed. I like to think I've given them a survival plan, but I bet not everyone would have reacted in the same way. I mean, who would have done? They tried to steal from me. I gave them a chance. Does that mean I should give everyone the same chance?

“Anna?” Rachel asked, “d’you know where we're going? We don't seem to have moved out of these trees for a while.”

I paused, looking at the nature surrounding us. “Er, I have a rough idea. I might've gotten us twisted round. I don't know where we should be going, and I'm hoping the route we're on will keep us safe. Or at least safer than we have been.”

“That's not exactly filling me with hope.” She tittered. “I was hoping you would have a better sense of direction than me. Sticking to safe sounds like a good option as well. D'you think we'll bump into anyone out here?”

“We could. After what we saw yesterday, and whatever was following us, I'd say there's a good chance. We can hope they've moved on, or at least hope that if we bump into anything, it's friendly, and doesn't want to kill us on sight.”

“Thanks, Anna, I feel 100% better already.”

“It's what I'm here for.” I chuckled darkly. “Stop.” I continued, “we're going to have to make a choice. It looks like we can follow one trail out of the woods, or we can head deeper in.”

“Which d’you reckon's safer?” Rachel asked.

“Not a clue. Either could lead to safety or both could lead to death. I don't know how severely affected this area of the country is.
