State of Decay (Omnibus (Parts 1-4))
“The world was something I didn’t recognize. I had kept myself mostly safe for two long years. It wasn’t easy, but a lot of what kept me alive had to do with the simple fact that not only was I a little more prepared than the average citizen, but I’d also gotten to know almost every inch of the two local towns and every mile of the woods that I’d camped in. The woods were mine. I knew them almost as well in the pitch black of night as I did in the noon day sun. I learned my surroundings like som...eone who might not have ever planned on leaving the area for the rest of their lives. I sat there watching a world full of death, destruction, and chaos pass by my window.
I realized with sudden clarity that I had bubbled myself off from the outside world, convinced deep down that if I didn’t know what was happening outside of my own personal hell, then maybe—just maybe—it wasn’t really that bad in other places. I hadn’t realized until I was leaving the area I knew so well that I’d convinced myself deep in my own subconscious that when I did finally leave, I’d be walking into some sort of safe haven, some place better and maybe even untouched by all the death, loneliness, and despair that I’d been shrouded in for two years.MoreLess
