I'm always on the move.

You can never stay in one place for too long. I feel sort of like a fugitive. I carry a weapon and a few practical necessities. I stay away from large urban areas (that's where they tend to thrive) and scavenge old camp sites for food. I know that there are things tracking me, things that won't stop until either I'm dead or they are. I'm living my life on the run.

I've learned to just take it one day at a time. There's really nothing to plan for, no one to strategize with. Even when you team up with someone temporarily – you never bother to plan your next move. They're going to be gone in a day anyway. I used to lie awake at night and try to devise my next move. Where I was going, what I was going to eat. I've learned that that's a waste of much-needed resting time. I go with things on the fly. My only predetermined goal is to survive. Everything else that I do is just a way for me to carry out that one goal.

The monsters are interfering with my goal. You wouldn't imagine how hard it is to survive when living corpses are hunting you down – trying to tear you apart just because they like the way you taste. It's a delicate balance between avoidance and defense. I never go hunting them down – those that do are just asking for trouble. Just avoid and defend...and survive for one more day.
