I look at the truck again. "We're gonna need to replace this thing. I'd rather not ride around with that... Stain in the back. The smell might attract more unwanted visitors." I look around, trying to find someplace I could get a car working (I'm gonna assume the cars that have been parked this long will have died, or the fuel would have gone bad). |
|
|
"Yea, sure." I pour the water out over my bloody hands, and rub. "He passed out." |
|
|
"It's for the best. Kid was suffering bad. That's gonna hurt a long time, in more ways than one." I begin to walk in circles around the truck. |

Soon I come to reality. I begin to cry after remembering what happened to my parents and siblings. I completely forget about my arm. |
|
|
I follow. I realize I still have that map. "Where should we go now?" I ask, standing next to you, pointing to the map. |
|
|
I look at Sheldon. "Kid's up. First priority. If he's infected..." I shake my head. |
|
|
I look to the truck. I take out my hammer from my pocket, and walk closer to the door. I open it, and look at Sheldon, Hammer ready. |

I look at Bonnie and back up afraid she will hit me. I realize my arm is gone.
"Uh, hi.." |
|
|
"How do you feel?" I ask, kinda nervous. I hold my hammer tightly, but keep it ready. |

"Better then when the knife was in my arm." |
|
|
I sigh. "Alright. I know you don't feel well, but you know what those--- things are, right? Would you mind sitting in the back of the truck? We cant risk anymore lives." |
|
|
"Well, I don't think he's infected. That's good, at least. I think I may have a solution for the missing arm too." I take the map and spread it on the hood of the truck. |

( DISREGARD MY POST )
"Well whats that?" |
|
|
"You've seen what I can do with cars already, but I have a lot of engineering experience in plenty of areas. While I get a car fixed, I think I can build him a prosthetic arm, as well. Nothing like what we'd get from a real surgeon, but he'll have two arms again. We'll also need medical supplies, and better weapons." I circle three places on the map. An auto shop, a hospital, and a gunstore. |

I got out of the car. I tried to get used to 1 arm. |
|
|
"Alright. I have some guns, but there more of hunting rifles." The dark sky makes it easy to see the stars stars. " How bout we go to the Auto shop first, and see if we can find a better car?" |
|
|
I nod. "I'll get the arm ready at the auto shop as well, but I'll attach it at the hospital. I also want to see what I can do to make these cars more... Zombie-proof. We'll use this truck until we get to the garage." I fold the map and hand it to Bonnie. |
|
|
I take it, and stuff it in my back pants pocket. "Well, I'll get drivin'. Everyone back in." I smile, and pat Sheldons shoulder. ( His good one. ) |

I look at Bonnie and say, "Thanks." I get in the car. |
|
|
I jump into the passenger seat of the truck. "Shotgun! Oh, wonder if I can get a shotgun..." I settle into the seat. |
|
|
"Haha!" I feel happy. I drive until morning, and we get there. I park nicely. "Aye, My best parking." |
|
|
I get out of the truck, looking the garage up and down. "This place'll work. Should have a car fixed up and an arm ready by tomorrow. I think." I look at the multiple cars and trucks on the road. "Of course, we'll need something practical. I'll let you guys pick out a car while I see what I have to work with. Just tell me when you find one." I head into the garage. |
|
|
I grab Sheldon's hand, and take him over to the parked cars. "Pick one, Buddy" I grin. |

"We need to move quickly," Denim said,"The fire is spreading and we shouldn't bring any more of those things over here." Two boys then came from the stairs behind her carrying Madeline from the first floor. Denim couldn't bear seeing her like this, she is her best friend, one of four. Madeline was conscious but still in pain, clenching her stomach. She knew how to heal wounds but something as bad as this, especially on herself, she couldn't handle. Denim only wanted her to survive throughout the outbreak so all five of the groups could stay together, just like when there used to be school. "We are taking her with us," Denim said,"We need to quickly get into those trucks and heal Madeline". The group nodded and hurried off the fire escape towards the trucks. They drove five towards the building and picked up the rest of the group. Denim took the wheel in the lead truck with a painted blue number 3 on the doors. They all followed Denim into the highway and into an office building. |

I smile and look up and down at the cars. I look at a big red truck. It looked in good shape. "This one! This one!" |
