Chapter 2

Slade paced around his living room, thinking. If he were going to venture beyond his own backyard, he would need to be prepared. He was practically thinking like a boy scout nowadays, always be prepared and all that jazz. If he was going to go out today, he really needed to get a move on. He'd need to load up his versi-pack, grab his go-bag, figure out what he needed to get and where to get it from.

There was the crux; where could he go for supplies? It was much too far to walk from his suburban sub-division to the nearest store and he wasn't sure how comfortable he was with the idea of looting his neighbor's homes. Slade had always been honest to a fault. He'd never be able to take things from these people. He knew them, and even if they might never come back, something about it felt... wrong.

Feeling kind of ridiculous he decided he would have to go at least a few streets away. To soothe his guilty conscience he'd leave a note with his number and that way if things ever did return to normal he could re-pay whoever he'd had to borrow from.

With that settled, Slade went to his office, and got out a notepad. Sitting down in front of his useless computer, he started his list. What would he need to bring with him? His go-bag had a few MRE's, a change of clothes, a rolled up sleeping bag, water, flashlight and batteries.

In his versi-pack he'd put a multi-tool, a mini pry-bar, the lock pick kit he'd gotten as a gag gift a few summers ago. Who knew it might actually come in handy. His friend, Joe, had gotten it for him after Slade had managed to lock himself out of his house twice times in a month. Para-cord could come in useful, so he'd bring some of that too. He'd also throw in his folding knife as a back up for the fixed blade he'd strap to his belt. If he owned a gun he'd bring that too.

Slade had never been gotten around to getting a gun. It was always on his list of things to do: buy a gun, and learn how to shoot. He'd just never managed to find time; he'd been too busy until it was too late. Oh well, the knives would have to do for self-defense.

Wracking his mind for anything else he might need, Slade gave a shrug. It was as prepared as he was going to get. Now he needed to think about what supplies he should collect. He divided up the remainder of the page into three columns: Need, Want and Luxury.

Under the need heading he wrote out things he truly needed: Batteries, possibly rechargeable ones, socks, a solar charger, canned/non-perishable food, medical supplies, Tylenol and Advil.

Beneath want he listed: Generator, Gas, Deodorant, a handheld game system, cards, and books.

Finally he listed the luxury items: Candy, model kits, chocolate bars.

Looking his list over Slade couldn't help but feel he was forgetting something.
