as the many people die not knowing what to come next.
I survive knowing that not a lot of time is left.
the battle against the unknown disease goes on in my home town, maybe even my home state...
people going insane leaving the streets in the most unnoticeable ways...
To stay away from newly formed ganges I pack up my things and leave my once peaceful home. with no vehicle to take me out of state i leave by foot with nothing but the clothes on my back, a suitcase full of water i took from the corner store, and some easy to cook foods. avoiding all the main highways i leave by walking alongside the city river.

as i walk the long journey ahead of me I feel lucky nothing has happen to me... yet...
I fear the disease is still spreading fast that now i cannot stop to look for a place to camp i must keep going. tired i feel my legs shake. looking around for any sight if light i feel like animals are after me...

Looking around for any sight of light I feel like animals are after me...
sneaking my way slowly for the tree i hear leaves cracking behind me,
I slowly and quietly climb the tree for hoping the animal cannot climb. hearing the leaves crack closer toward me I hide behind any bunched up branched any leaves.
I look down and find five men around the tree, all carrying large guns you see in the army. "give us all your water and food and we will let you go with the clothes on your back!" i look into my bag and dropped the bag of water first and then the food.
As they run away into their truck with the food and water I drop down and take out my gun, wanting to aim at them I quickly stopped my self. "no" I thought in my head.
"you are out numbered, you want to kill yourself?" on that thought i walked quietly to a very small mountain.

Once i was at the top i turn north and see that probably fifteen miles ahead there might be light, food, shelter, good care, and maybe an answer to why the hell this is happening to us, and how...
I was lucky that the only river close to me goes north... Tired... lonely... The next day I find my self next to the river i didn't remember going to sleep. but i was happy that I felt like nothing was wrong... I found an empty bottle laying on the ground. I picked it up and thought that its better then nothing, i dump it into the river, and take a giant drink out of it. i hesitated to get more as the dirty water goes through into my body. i look for anything to help my situation i found two buckets, a pile of dry leaves, and two branches.
