Sooner than expected, I got over the initial shock, and got the hell out of there. My relationship with my ex-wife had been tenuous at best, so of course that meant my relationship with my son wasn’t as strong as I wished it were. As I drove through the streets of Chicago to make it to the highway, I passed the officials and politicians trying to work out some semblance of order in front of the town hall. Assholes. I can’t say I was upset to watch them get taken out.
Still, what I had seen got to me. It haunted my dreams, my thoughts, and lingered on me like a scent that I couldn’t mask. It was obvious. I was just trying to push back the depression for as long as I could and press on. Press on to what? I didn’t know. Luckily, no one was around to ask me.
Of course, I currently had no idea where I was going. Seems like I just pressed on to the middle of nowhere, trudging through miles of endless road, and dozens of wandering zombies to get to a place I was beginning to believe didn’t exist.
