Earlier this week, I believed I was
making one of the most difficult choices of my life because I believed my son
was infected with the Kharon virus that kills people and transforms their
corpse into the walking dead.
Earlier this week, I believed that
staying put for the course of a year was our best option as we believed that
one year was enough time for these shambling horrors to rot down to a point
where movement would be impossible.
Earlier this week, I believed that
remaining secluded within our grocery store with a healthy contingent of food,
water, security, warmth, and a pretty good stockpile of ammo was the best thing
we could do.
Earlier this week, when that zombie
bit Alex, everything changed. For reasons that we cannot explain, Alex is
immune to this virus. We don’t know if it is genetic. We don’t know if it is
something about his blood. No one is certain because none of us are doctors. So
somehow, some way, we have to get Alex to our government or military.
We know that the military is still out
there. We have seen them running sorties with aircraft and the armored
cavalcade that rolled through. Before, this whole thing was just about our survival.
Survival was going to be our revenge. We were going to survive by just
outlasting them.
With Alex’s immunity, we have the
potential to save humanity. Think about this. We have the potential to turn
back the tide and defeat something that could wipe our species off the planet.
You add Bruce Willis into this mix and you’ve got a summer blockbuster movie on
your hands.
However, we did not last 342 days in
this nightmare by running off half-cocked. Every time that has happened,
someone has died. So, I am going to bring this plan to the group and we are
going to lay out possible scenarios and evaluate all contingencies. Looks like
Brian’s bus bug out plan is going to get a real litmus test.
With that said, Alex is immune to the
virus but not immune to injury. I’ll be damned if humanity’s last and only hope
dies in a bus accident on the way to the government facility.
