Week 15: The Econoline Edge

I’m really liking this van I picked up. It must have been a work van for a plumber or something because it has built in shelving and trays and was loaded up with pipe fittings and tools. I cleaned it out and got rid of the useless stuff to make room for food supplies and water. I have it stocked with tanks of gas and weaponry as well. Even got a little pallet to sleep on if I need to.  Oh and I forgot to mention the Bryants still had my scooter which fits nicely in the back… just in case I have to make a quick escape.

Jesus, I sound like some kind of used car salesman espousing the virtues of Ford’s new anti-zombie Econoline.

Well I guess it does have some faults. The van is big and bulky and hard to maneuver in tight areas. More than once I had to find alternate routes due to abandoned vehicles and such blocking my path. Not a big deal but it does make traveling a lot slower.

On the plus side my makeshift battering ram works pretty damn good. At one point I came across a lone zombie on the highway. I hit the bastard doing about 40 mph. Flipped the meat puppet about 20 feet in the air and busted its head clean open. I had to stop and look at the damage out of morbid curiosity. The zombie’s brain was left mostly intact like a strange artifact on the roadway. The rest of it was in a drainage ditch on the side of the road.
