I fucked up my ankle the other day. It happened when I was out wandering in the woods and a couple biters came up on me. I tried to take ’em down with my axe, but somehow I had my footing all wrong and ended up rolling it in the process. It’s pretty bad right now, all dark purple and swollen. I think I might have torn something. All I know is It hurts like a real bitch, but at least I can kind of hobble around. I just feel kind of useless and I don’t want to sit around on my ass and do nothing. I feel like a sitting duck as it is, all garnished and prepared, set out on a platter with a neon sign saying ‘Free dinner for biters’. Anyways… I tried to get out a bit, thinking maybe walking on it might help in some way, and I was running low on supplies. Long story short, I had a horde of walkers creep up on me out in the ruins, thankfully there were these two sketchy looking guys nearby who helped me with them. They weren’t too keen on helping me at first, but,that was kind of my fault I will admit. Being in a frustrating position, I don’t always say the most polite things, or act very appropriate to strangers. The big guy took out one of the biters first, squashed its head like a ripe watermelon. Sploosh, brains and goo all over the place. The other guy stepped up and lobed off the head of the broad a few feet in front of me. I would have stuck my axe in her face, but I guess I was a little slow. After that they helped me to the hospital that was surprisingly still functioning, somehow. Big guy had me over his shoulder caveman style.. Found out his name is Charlie too, what are the bloody chances of that. Charlie brown and Charlie blonde. Heh. Other guy, much smaller and slimmer was Ro. Interesting name, but he was rather nice. I didn’t stay for long at the hospital, had a nap and that was it, then limped back into town. Oh also the guard inside the hospital really gives me the creeps, not like, ‘you’re creepy looking’ but more like ‘I’m going to follow you home, sneak in through your window and hide in your closet with a video camera’ kind of creepy. Dude was eyeballing me the whole time like I was some kind of slab of meat. I really don’t want to go back there if I can help it. If there weren’t any other guards where people take their naps and rest up, I probably would have been molested or worse. then again I’m probably too paranoid.
