I had brought back one but there were many more here, I kicked another of the abandoned soccer balls on the field, hands crossed in my back as I kicked it in the goal.
I watched it bounce lamely, it was the fourth day I came here, wasting my time, if he doesn't come meet me today or in the next two days I will give up.
I looked at the cloudless skies with a frown, in summer this is fine but in autumn and winter no clouds helps cool the earth more.... Well in winter it means snow in Rain Point.
This place could be a nice place to use for something in the future.... It is still awing even nowadays that I can subsist off of one town alone when in movies they all instantly ran away, there are a huge number of places for us to use, many places I haven't even touched.
I didn't touch the biggest hospital nor even wandered close to it despite having wanted a few times, before this hell there were people there with already contagious diseases and who knows if those survived in the body of a husk, if we were do something about that place we'll need to be extremely careful.
Another place would be the old cemetery in the middle of town basically, I remember the dilemma in the newspaper a few weeks before the lock-down at the start, people wanting to dig up the terrain and bury the dead outside of the city so they could build houses on top of it, I don't know but even when I just walked passed that cemetery I had cold shivers, it felt like an omen of death, reminding me that no matter what path I took my only end was there, dead.
I looked to the left as I heard croaking from birds, watching them hop around with displeasure, the DIY bird trap on the School would sometimes work but more commonly not, tho I don't think I will ever be able to get the image of that encounter out of my mind, the writhing of a dead bird.
I raised the rifle I brought along after swinging it in my hands, aiming at one of the birds, pulling the trigger.
I saw a splatter of new blood form but all of the birds went flying, I watched them caw in panic as they flew away, I simply sighed.
"What did they ever do to you to shoot at them?" I heard his voice.
"Do not feel kinship with these birds." I said, still watching them until they disappeared. "I shot at you also because I was not in the right state of mind, I shot at them because a dead bird almost killed me." I finally looked at him, he looked much younger now that he stopped and took the time to shave tho still having hardened facial features by anger.
"Don't make me laugh."
"It was not my intent and believe what you want but I don't advise you to leave husks you killed to rot if you have the choice, burn them to ashes to avoid what I was faced with."
"I don't care for the blahblah, tell me why you wanted to meet."
I sighed.
"Winter is coming, you might not trust me but we have a place you can stay, making survival a bit easier."
"And for you to backstab me? Sure!"
"That's not the goal, I still would wish to be alone instead of surrounded with people that can cause me pain by dying but...." I shrugged. "Yeah..." Not having a great answer for this.
"You could have done this instead of chasing us away!"
"I couldn't have, I had lost three people close to me in quick succession, I could have never let anyone close at that time." I pulled out an empty map, circling the bridge to my home. "Come to this bridge after you thought over this idea, this is a choice not an order." I know I already gave him one but I found its remains thrown around earlier.
He snatched it from my hands with anger and looked at it.
I walked passed him.
"Think hard, you can try surviving alone somewhere in town if you want but I don't advise it.... Trust me... I would know."
I got no answers so I left, this is all I wanted.
Casting a last look at the new blood splatter that was already drying a darker shade before leaving the way I came.
You and I are both the same, like it or not, and that means you'll realize like me that no matter how much you want to be alone, do things your way, hold grudges, that you will need to let go and trust again.
