Day 30 – A Gift From Heaven

Holy crap. Brad Chambers made it. I cannot believe it. Well, no, I can believe it. Like I said earlier, if anyone was going to have the mindset to stay rational when zombies are chowing down on customers in your parking lot, it is Brad.
Not only did he make it, he has five survivors with him. Three coworkers and two customers. Kasondra is sending messages back and forth with him via the white board.
Honestly, I cannot believe it. Don’t get me wrong. I am ecstatic. To be brutally truthful, God, you kind of owe us one or two. Brad and Kasondra were supposed to get married this month so I think it is divine will that these two have survived. (I swiped this pic from Kasondra’s iPhone.) Tell me these two don’t deserve to be reunited.
So there are six of them over there. The owner of the joint is a sweet girl named Jenny. I am glad to hear that she made it. We went to school together but she graduated a year ahead of me. I would duck in there from time to time when I needed things, so I know Kelsey (kinda). She is this Indian girl that worked the register. Keith is one of the reasons they survived. Nice guy, his girlfriend worked in our bakery. I know him and Brad pal around. Then they listed Shannon and Yulonda. I have to assume they are customers. (Is it wrong that I have already made the decision to nickname Yulonda “Honey Bunny” because of Pulp Fiction?)  
But we are not out of the woods yet. There is a lot of real estate between us and them. They are in a hardware store. I am by no means a hardware guy but I have been in there a few times. I am sure they have to have snack crackers and some break room food but after 30 days, how are they even living. Next door to their location is a Dollar General  store that would have access to a number of supplies. If they are raiding that store, then food would be in plentiful supply. Their other neighbor is a bank which would offer zero by way of supplies. (I think cash money is kind of worthless now.)
We have to get them over here. And we have to figure out how. God may send us some assistance but He is not going to just fairy wing them over here. It is going to be up to us…
