I don’t know what we walked into. Zombie here. Zombie there. So far we have been able to handle it because the numbers are low. Not sure where they are coming from. Why there are so many around here. We are all exhausted. Walking, fighting, and no food is wearing us down. Hopefully we will come up on shelter, help, or food soon.

Told them not to bring any zombies back with them. Couldn’t find any gas, but plenty of zombies. Not long after returning here come a bunch of them. Did a number on the car before we could get out and run for it. Found some trees to climb up, and waited them out. Killed some of them but told them not to waste bullets unless they had to. Looks like we are on foot again.

Where are these kids? Lost? Eaten? I know they haven’t experienced being in the woods for a long time. Maybe ever. I know I didn’t want to baby sit, but I definitely feel responsible for bringing them out here. Maybe I should have went with them. Just don’t have the same strength these days. Not getting any easier to survive.

It doesn’t matter how many times I sleep out in the middle of nowhere, it never gets easier. Scary not knowing whats out there. Actually chances are it’s a zombie but still. At least shelter of car would give me notice that they are here. I remember sleeping in the car when mom used to take us places. A lot on the way to and from school. Always on road trips. A much safer environment. Especially at the speeds she drove. Nothing like speed demon dad. To take a drive with them now would be nice.

Boys insisted on heading off to look for supplies gas. Whatever. Told them to make sure they know how to get back. Car is only shelter we have right now. And that doesn’t mean it is safe, so hopefully nothing follows them back here. If they make it back.

All right. Back to the usual shit. Drove the car as far as we could, and now stuck in the middle of nowhere. Doesn’t get more exciting than this.

2 days on the road. Kids can’t believe some of the things they have seen. They haven’t been away from that tree house in a long time. I tried to tell them that this was no joke out here. Nothing pretty to see!

Surprise surprise. The kids have a car too! They said they had another one that one of their friends tried to drive, but crashed it. I guess they didn’t play too many car games. We got the car, and went back to the house for more stuff. Filled the trunk, and off we went. Gave me my map back. Knew they had no use for it. I’m not sure how far we can get, but I’m going as far as this car will take us.
