It was an afternoon in 2018. I was driving my truck, wearily watching the sunset… admiring the desert landscape, and then the stupid truck stopped. It was out of gas. “And where the hell am I going to get fuel in the middle of nowhere?” I said, hitting the steering wheel. I didn’t want to stop, I didn’t need to. “Screw it!” I leaned my head back on the wheel.

When I finally realized that I was yelling at a truck that would never hear me, I got out and started pushing it. After a few meters, I found a gas station and next to it a store, something like a mini-market. I parked the truck at the gas station and went inside. I needed food, clothes, and a little rest.

When I went in, I pointed my gun all around. I needed to know if there was an infected person… although deep down I wanted there to be. Killing those things relaxed you, made you feel alive, and the joy after killing them is incredible… okay, maybe I'm a little crazy, but… eh…
There was nothing, no one, just me, a lot of food, clothes and things I don't need.
I left my weapons on a nearby table and took off my shirt. While looking for a comfortable t-shirt, I heard a noise. I grabbed my weapon and walked stealthily towards where I heard it and… nothing. I decided to check all the hallways, and absolutely nothing. It must have been my enormous imagination, for sure.

I was putting on my new, stain-free t-shirt, and I felt someone take the safety off their gun, while a male voice said to me:

"You're already dead, you fucking bastard..." Thank God I reacted quickly, I ducked, stretching out one leg, and she fell to the ground.

Grab my gun quickly, if they shoot me my story is over... and I'm not going to let it end that easily.
He was definitely a boy, who opened his big brown eyes when he failed to notice that he couldn't reach his gun and that mine was pointed at his head.

-But what the hell… have they gotten faster?
