As we were making repairs to the bus,
our crew was besieged by a large group of zombies. We are now back on the road
and heading south. I am sorry to report that in the ensuing melee and escape
attempt, we lost Yulonda. She went out like a warrior and she went quick.
There is no doubt in my mind that
because of my actions Shala and Jennifer are still alive and I prevented a
fairly large contingent from getting on one of the buses. But in doing so, I
was bitten on my forearm and on my shoulder blade.
There was talk of amputation and if it
was just on my arm, I would have consented but getting tagged on the shoulder
blade… Well, there is not much they can do about that.
I do still have an ace in the hole.
Maybe the Mathews side of the family carries the “immunity gene.” Maybe Alex
gets it from me.
I
hope. My God, I hope. I am not ready. I’m not…
