It has been so long since we have had to deal with humanity outside of me and Lee, at least humanity that we were expected to be a part of. Having left the woods we stayed on the outskirts of the heart of the town still not sure if we wanted to enter or keep to a more natural style of life.

The wear and tear on our equipment was getting to the point it was becoming harder and harder to make shit up as we go along. You can only use vines and tree sap to fix thing for so long before they give out for good. The woods seemed to be getting sparse too, the ease at which we hunted before was not nearly netting as much food as it used to. I would be kidding myself if I said we were doing fine . I can see how the hard times are getting to her , the look on her face when the stream we used for water dried up and when the squirrels we used hunt and eat left behind empty trees. Shes a tough one Lee is but I still worry and honestly if it was not for her I would have probably ended up a bandit or worse one of the walking corpses.  Her kind heart kept me alive now I have to keep her alive.

I know I can fix our equipment if given the right tools but the hard part is no one will just give them to you. everything in this world is tough so if I want to make this happen I am going to have to suck it up and integrate myself amongst them and work and thrive if I want to gather up enough supplies so me and Lee can move back out into the wild like we belong.

The big question is will I be able to walk amongst humanity again, will I be able to live on concrete again?

I have to ….if not for me but for her…..
