I walk down to Wood Brothers, Sunlight Towns lumberjack store, for wood, just wood. Then appearing in the small miniature parking lot with the pavement littered with wood scraps. I'd look up, eyeing the store name, I then walk over to the entrance. The doors swing open, I walk inside, "So I guess I could just get some Walnut Wood planks. Anthony didn't say which wood to get." I'd say, I look for the name Walnut Planks. I'd see the name, then looking up, "That is unnecessarily high up." I said, I walked around the store to find one of those things that lift you up so you can get something high up on a tall shelf. "There it is!" I said in my head, I ran over to it and then sitting in the seat, "I think this is to start it up, and this is the drive gear." I'd say, then it starts up and I drive over to where the walnut planks are. I'd sit up, then walk to the elevator. I grabbed a stick and pushed it forward, I'd let go of the lever and grab some planks. Then that's when the store completely shakes, and the elevator falls to the left on a shelf. I try to grab a hold on the railing, but I get thrown out and I tumble down onto a pile of wood and shelf. "What was that?" I said, holding my head. "RAHHHHHHH!" Something yells like a monster, then I then see the shelves topple down, "That is not good." I said, "GAH!" I get rammed into a wall, I spit blood out of my mouth, I then look up to see a zombie using a flesh modified shield to ram through and into things. "This will be tough." I said, whipping out my bat and knife. "C'mon you big ol' freak!" I yell at the zombie. It readies itself, and then runs at me. "Crap, here it comes.!" I rolled to the side, dodging the ram, I dug my knife into its left carotid artery, then ripping it out. "How do you like that!" I say, blood sprays out and some onto my old brown coat. I put away my knife and bat. I gathered up the wood, then stuffed it into my backpack. The monster let out a pained roar as its last moment of life. "I should get out of here." I say, I ran out of Wood Brothers. I see a horde of runners sprinting towards Wood Brothers, "That can't be good." I said, running towards the town playground. Then climbing over the fence, and ducking into the slide. After a few minutes, I'd pop out my head, then looking to see the runners gone. Then climbing out of the slide. I walk out, then heading for the comic book store. Block after block, street after street. It feels like I've been walking miles. "Am I, dreaming?" I said, wondering why I felt so tired, and lost. "I can't just give up now. I gotta keep going. I'll die out here if I don't." I'd say. My eyelids felt heavier than before, like if I was trying to lift the weight of a bird on my pinky. Spotting the comic book store. I walk over to it. I try to open the door. But I forgot the key! It's with Rose! I try to bang on the door. But I was too weak. I see the part repaired window having an opening enough for me to fit in. I took off my backpack, and tossed it inside. Then climbing through the opening, I flop inside. Grabbing my backpack, and then going behind the shelf. I'd set down my backpack, take off my gears and other clothing like my coat and bandana. Then tucking myself in the sleeping bag, I feel like I'm about to drift off to sleep. My eyelids close, and I fall asleep.
