15, Am I Really Hearing That
22:00

I was up hiding in a tree in the forest. I was silently crying a little bit at the fact that I couldn’t find my wife when the RV tipped over and fell. I couldn’t see her or Kate, so I was all alone. My leg got inured by the fall off of the RV, so I was limping around and barely made it out of the horde and to the forest. I wasn’t bit, it was from the fall.

Right now some zombies were trying to get up here to eat me, but they can’t climb, they’re fucking zombies.

I managed to keep the emergency revolver with me, and it still had five bullets. The only one used was the one I shot when I put down Gehert.

I decide that I’m going to have to sleep in this tree, so I find a safe spot to lay down, and I go to sleep, so exhausted. I still have the emergency revolver gripped tightly in my hand as I sleep.

23:02

I awaken to a sound that I thought I would never hear again. It was the sound of a helicopter flying through the air, and I couldn’t believe it.

I had to follow it, because the pilot could possibly pick me up and take me away from this place to somewhere safe. It was my only hope.

I climbed down carefully from the tree to the spot with the least amount of zombies I shot one in the head with one bullet Four bullets left. I kicked when out of my way and ran in the direction of the helicopter. Another zombie came towards me and it looked like a man who had been big and strong.

I was caught off guard as I fired a bullet at it, but I missed it’s head. I then aimed correctly and hit it in the head. I had to be careful now, only two bullets left.

Two more zombies came towards me. I shot one in the head and pushed the other over, stomping on it’s head numerous times.

I only had bullet left and the helicopter started to get away. I ran as fast as I could, determined to eventually let the pilot know he was there. I didn’t care if the person was crazy or insane, I just needed help. Major help.
