Mo Journal Entry 12

Hammer turned her attention back to the road and I was startled into reality. I was making notes on a few finishing touches and I looked up to see that The Tech and The Oracle (who were seated to my left respectively) were just as transfixed on the uncommon sound as I was. It is amusing that only a few days without motorized transportation would cause us to be alarmed by the sound of a car blinker. After the extra milliseconds it took me to recognize what I was hearing, I looked through the windshield to see that our driver was slowing, merging into the turn lane, and preparing to stop at the nonfunctioning traffic light to turn into the Walmart parking lot. I did not understand the importance of obeying traffic laws when there was no one left to enforce them and asked, "Really?"

The Expert threw up her hand, "Hush, I’ve been driving longer than you’ve been alive and I’ve never got a ticket. Not going to chance it, now." Hammer was obviously still thinking this was just a hiccup in her daily life and things would soon be back to normal; I’m pretty sure she would never again have to worry about tarnishing her pristine driving record.

The Walmart Supercenter was still standing, thankfully, and though the parking lot was not even a quarter of the way full, there had been a few shoppers willing to buy groceries on the day the world stopped turning. I was unable to see the parking lot of the shopping center up the hill, next to Walmart, but the other businesses that had popped up along the highway in the shadow of the retail giant had not been looted, and most had at least a couple of cars in the parking lot.

You know, it really pisses me off when people bitch about Walmart stealing patronage from local businesses. These people must have never been through rural Alabama where a Walmart has been constructed. There was a gas station, trees, and pastureland before Walmart; now there were thousands of jobs where local businesses had congregated around the Supercenter. It would take even less than my mediocre education to realize Walmart exponentially grew our economy. One thing I hope the zombie apocalypse has done away with is those liberal pussies who hate capitalism. But I digress.

We traveled squarely up one of the lanes of the parking lot and Hammer seriously slowed to turn into an available parking spot closest to the store, but naturally after the completely empty handicapped parking section.

“Woah!”

The driver seemed startled by my exclamation and applied the brakes to a vehicle that was barely moving anyway. She looked at me in the rearview mirror.

"What’s wrong?"

"This fucking parking lot is basically empty and we ain’t gotta worry about the fire department showing up. Park in the damned fire lane!"

This outburst would have been expected from Smokes but the entire party was taken aback by my uncharacteristic ranting. I honestly attempt
