I woke up today thirsty as hell. Don’t think the water around here is safe to drink yet. Even the rain I collected from yesterday’s showers tastes off even after a good boil. Maybe its just paranoia.
I climbed the hill again today .. the one with the stone outcropping that stands out from the obstruction of the trees. I can see the whole town from here. All of the buildings laid out at my feet.
If I were big enough I could crush them.
I can’t go back. Not yet, but soon.
Soon.
