When Alex left Tom to look for help, she came to a sudden (and frightening) realization. When you're in the middle of an apocalypse, be sure to know that the "zombies" are not the only enemies that you have.
"Some of the dead people were very old. They had died because they'd been shot: in the back, some in the chest, and many in the back of the head. Their clothing had not been tattered or ripped by animals, but, it seemed, simply taken. These bodies were fresher, too, and lay in bunches in a scatter of discarded, empty knapsacks and duffel bags and suitcases." (Bick 261).
These people survived the EMP (electromagnetic pulse) to only be killed for their stuff. Killed by their own kind. And now people are targeting young kids too. Kids around my age and yours because they had noticed a pattern, that young kids change first. They are even willing to kill children who didn't change because they're so scared of waking up and finding out that hey, that little angel you saved awhile ago? Yeah, well she's a MONSTER now. Even though, it's been weeks since the EMP and the kids have yet to show any symptoms of turning.
AND THE KIDS IN THIS BOOK
Arrghhh, I just want them all to shut up honestly. It feels like they don't understand the type of situation they're in right now. I mean for pete's sake, you are in the middle of an APOCALYSPE, there are ZOMBIES out there who KNOWS BASIC SURVIVAL SKILLS, and there's people out there who WOULD NOT HESTITATE TO SKIN YOU.
Yeah, I get that you miss going outside without having to worry about getting eaten and stuff, and I get that you feel like you're trapped inside a tiny birdcage, but please, analyze your position here. And understand that it's NOT A GOOD IDEA to go outside right now and that it's NOT A GOOD IDEA to defy the people who are just trying to keep you safe and it's NOT A GOOD IDEA to deliberately make people feel bad because THEY WERE ALREADY IN A SUCKY PLACE AND NOW THEY'RE IN AN EVEN SUCKIER PLACE. !!!!
Stop making them feel bad. They don't need this. They don't need your atrocious attitude.
aahhh....I'm just really mad right now.
