Ruins pt. 20

The highway looks just as bad as the city, maybe worse. Cars are piled onto each other; the rotted remains of the occupants are still strewn on the asphalt, or thrust through shattered windows.

As we head downhill we can see that several lanes are flooded with putrid brown water that bubbles in the still bright mid-morning sun. 

“We can probably make it to Oak Park before sunset.”
Kay never stops walking as she speaks.

“You sure this is the right move? We have no idea what things are like out there.”
Doug is doing is best to avoid a decayed, half eaten corpse. 

He was right.  The attack… no, it was an invasion, happened so fast that not even the news could react. 
We had no idea how far this spread, or even where it started.
I suddenly realized how terrified I was.


We were walking into an even greater unknown then our lives in the city had been.
