MIKE JOURNAL ENTRY 10

I must have dozed at some point. When I woke, the bright shiny sun was streaming through one of the window slots.

“Stopped a couple of hours ago,” my sister told me.

“Did you sleep at all?”

“No. Went out and found more cigarettes, though.”

My stomach turned a little thinking about doing one this early in the morning.

“I hope you didn’t want any.”

“I’ll be good until next month,” I told her truthfully. “You hear anything?”

“Nope. The thunder and the explosions stopped before the rain did.”

“Well, I guess we go find BT and get back to the rest of the clan.”

Had to squint and shield my eyes as I exited the house, the sun was shining so brightly and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Hard to imagine that yesterday it had rained enough to fill storm drains. The roadway was completely dry; the fields off to our right still looked plenty water logged. As for the woods on our left, I had no desire to head back that way whatever their condition. While I was pondering which way to go, Lyndsey was already heading down the road.

“You do know that’s the way the zombies went, right?” I asked when I caught up.

“I plan on taking a sharp left as soon as the road allows.”

“I’m not so sure that’s the best idea. I mean, staying in the open like this.”

“Until I was sixteen years old and got my license you used to follow me around constantly. Without question, without my asking, even when I threatened to punch your lights out. And now, now you’re going to be a pain in the ass about it? How about we just do this for old times’ sake?”

“Well, when you put it like that.”

She smiled and hugged my waist. I knew why she didn’t want to go back in the woods. At some point, we would come to where Steve had fallen and she didn’t want to. What more, what better, reason do you need? We hadn’t gone more than a half a mile when we got our leftward traveling highway. I want to say it was Route 62 or something, but the sign was fairly shot up. There was only left or right as far as wheeled vehicles could go. The zombies were now traveling off-road to whatever the source of the noise had been. Didn’t bother me where their final destination was going to be as long as it wasn’t here.

The longer we stayed on this road, the more my nerves began to fray. It was open on either side of us for a couple hundred yards; if a car came, we would never have enough time to get to safety. I’d brought up finding a safer route to travel and my sister unequivocally said “no” each and every time; said she wanted to feel the complete sun on her body, to feel it wash over her and soak through, much like the rain had. She mumbled that it would take weeks of being in full sun to wash off the stink of that rain.
