Why do all the places we end up have to be so much work getting to and from them? Up and down trees. Up and down that valley. What a walk. Still clueless about where we are going. There is just forest. Only good thing is that we have been zombie free so far.

Up the other side of the valley we go. Hopefully this valley puts some distance between us and them. So lost. Need to find somewhere on the map so we can head in the right direction. What direction that is.

Uncharted territory for zombs no more. So weird. At first they were all kind of standing at the edge cliff looking down here. I’m not sure why we didn’t run, but we also stood and watched them. Then one decided to try to come down, but it just fell and rolled. Then others waited. Like they knew what was going to happen. Finally another tried unsuccessfully. And another. We laughed. And laughed. Until one got up. Sort of. It tried to stand then fell time after time. Then others started crawling. God do I hate zombies. We had to go over there and put an end to them. Funny how some of them lost body parts on the way down. Good thing we went down slowly. Can’t afford to lose any body parts.

Fuck is it cold in this valley. Colder than sitting up in those trees. Air just flowing right down here. Took clothes off the dead to wrap up in. Smells but whatever. Everything smells. Bad.

We have checked this place over and didn’t get much from it. I tried to figure out where we are, but I’m not sure. Hidden town I guess. We just have to go away from the direction we came, and keep going. Boys are tired. Their advantage of youth has about expired with the limits of our resources.

Had a dream. A wave came down and flooded us right out of the valley. The water dropped us right at the feet of zombs. I think one actually said it didn’t like its food soggy. Then my mom appeared and said not to worry. We would dry out soon enough, and make a good meal. I turned around and realized I wasn’t the only one that washed up there. There were hundreds of others behind me. When some decided to run, the water just brought them back. I think when I got splashed again I woke up. I think I’m thirsty now.

On our last legs we made it to a valley that was hard to get down into. We decided to go down here cause we saw homes. Just a few but all we needed was one. When we got down here there were bodies. Untouched. Just dead. Most died of hunger. Probably afraid to leave. There couldn’t be zombs here cause they would have eaten these bodies. That is a relief. However, it also told us we probably wouldn’t find any food. There are no cars cause you can’t drive down here. Not really sure how these people lived down here. This will give us some safe rest, but we can’t stay here either.

Quick had the idea to break off as many branches as we could. Then we would jump down on the attack. Didn’t really like the jump down part. James added the idea to throw a few off in another direction to distract them. Smart kids. So we did it. Could have picked better branches, but worked well enough. Then it was marathon time again.
