me.
The one that tried to get me wasn't moving its legs, it was just kinda crawling It looked like it had broken legs. I wonder if they feel hurt? They dont cry or laugh or talk, so I dont know if they have any feelings. They look like us, except they walk funny, smell bad, make weird sounds, and dont look like they get hurt even though they have blood all over them and lots of bites. Oh, and they try to bite me. Actually, they look like theyre dying.
I saw a lot of the school... theres a bunch of kid monsters walking around too. I think I see one of my class friends. I guess you really DO turn into a monster if they bite you. I have to be really careful.
I see the other side of the fence. It looks really bad. Lots of cars are smashed together and there are lots of people on the ground. I think theyre dead maybe. I dont like crying, because the boys make fun of the girls when they cry, but I'm getting really sad and scared right now. I keep wanting to cry, but then I see the monsters and all I want to do is run away. Then I dont think about crying anymore.
It looks like a car broke the fence. I think maybe I can run around the cars and stay away from the monsters.
First, I want one of the fruit snacks. My tummy is growling, but I dont want to eat all my food, just in case I see someone else thats hungry.
Okay, I'm going to put you back in the bag where youre safe, and I think i'm going to sleep a little more. When I get up I'll try to go home. When I get to a safe place, I'll let you know.
Hi Barbie. I'm sitting inside a car right now taking a break. I've been walking and running for a long time. I found an empty car that had a blanket inside. I am a little cold so I'm trying to warm up. I forgot my jacket at school, but Im not going back there, no way. At least I have my long pants on.
This morning had a lot of clouds and I was worried it was going to rain, but it didnt, it was just colder than yesterday. I had one of the bags of carrots, because I need some vegtables sometimes. Thats what Mom says anyway. I havent seen her yet, and I havent seen any of my family yet, or our car, so I don't know where they are! I'm really scared that monsters got them.
Oh my gosh that was close! I saw a monster get really close to the car, so I moved closer under the seat and didn't move. It walked by and didnt see me.
I think I got lucky. I made it down the long street that goes to my school. I'm still trying to remember how to get home. My dad always talks about street names and knowing where you are all the time, so I really need to remember. A lot of the time he kind of talks forever so I dont always listen, but now I wish I did.
I think it might be a couple more street lights I have to pass before I turn. Now I remember! There was a Cheesy's right where I turn to go home! I just need to find the Cheesy's!
Chapter 8
I want to go home. I want Mom and Dad right now. I can't leave the car. I should, but I cant. I've been crying for a while. Don't tell anyone, Barbie, but I haven't cried like this since I was a baby. I'm scared, I'm tired, and I feel sick. It's really messy and cold in here. There's a lot of blood everywhere too. I'm still inside the same car. I was opening the car door because I was about to leave and I heard something fall outside, I think it was a trash can.
Then I heard a car alarm going off, the really annoying ones I sometimes hear in the middle of the night. It was really loud. Then I saw a monster walking right to me! It saw me! I came back
