I had given up hope. I was leaving town and heading north again. As I reached the edge of the city I saw another pharmacy. It made me think of Brenda. Then I noticed the zombies that were gathering outside of it. They were all banging on the door. The horde had not grown too big so I figured, what the hell, and decided I would check it out.
It took a little while to disperse the zombies and eliminate each one (about 7 in all) but I managed. I stepped into the pharmacy and the first thing I noticed was the place had been trashed. Somebody had gone through a rampage breaking stuff and knocking things over. As I made my way to the back toward the pharmacy counter I found Brenda, lying on the floor, curled in a fetal position and crying.
I tried to ask her what was wrong, I tried to comfort her. She pushed me away, yelled something about how it was “all gone”, then grabbed me and hugged me. She thanked God that I didn’t leave her.
Then she sobered up, put on a smile and acted like nothing had happened. “Let’s go find Matthew,” she said. When I tried to press her about what had happened she just said she didn’t want to talk about it.
…
Brenda has assured me that she wasn’t infected. The thing is, when she hugged me I could feel she was running a fever. I haven’t noticed any red hives yet.
