Stories in a Lost World: Bridget (6 page)

The thing about being in the country is that there aren’t many zombies because there aren’t many people. Part of me wishes that I had a weapon and a horde of zombies to fight. At least that way, I’d feel like I had something to do. As it is, I just feel bored constantly, which I guess is better than being dead.

Maybe.

Keith was the one who spotted the house we picked. It was back from the road, surrounded by trees. I didn’t even see it as we walked along the dirt road. I wonder how many other people passed this one by. It gave me a strange sense of comfort and hope that even though we have to live in this creepy old house, at least most survivors won’t notice it from the road. They definitely won’t notice it if they’re driving by.

There was a car in the driveway, which is awesome because it means we can easily go exploring and scavenging. The back door was unlocked and inside there were a few bodies, but Keith and Paul earned their keep today and took care of them. I didn’t ask what they did with the bodies. I don’t think I can handle knowing, not anymore.

I don’t know if this is going to be where we stay forever, but I do know one thing: we’re going to make things work, even if it’s one day at a time.

L.C. Mortimer loves zombies almost as much as she loves coffee. When she's not on a caffeine-induced writing spree, she can be found stocking up on canned goods for the apocalypse. Mortimer loves reading, playing zombie video games (7 Days to Die is currently her favorite), and spending time with her partner-in-crime: her husband of 10 years.
