The Cost of Living
“The family leaving in the middle of the night just gone was a pre-cursor to the full-blown chaos we’ve witnessed today. Now it seems everyone is fleeing their homes, and I don’t understand why. What do they hope to achieve? Where will they go? Why this preoccupation with running? The safest thing to do – the only thing to do – is to stay locked away like us and wait. Going out there today...
that’s only going to put people in more danger, not less. I can understand wanting to get out of the cit...ies and put some distance between yourself and the rest of the population, but if everyone else is running too, what good will it do?
I was worried there might be some kind of forced evacuation, that the authorities might round up those of us who haven’t been infected while they try to decontaminate the rest of the country. Half the time I’m convinced I’ll see tanks and troops driving up the road when I next look out the window, but I know now that’s just nerves talking. I’ve heard explosions and I can see smoke drifting into the sky, but think we’re long past any kind of coordinated response.MoreLess
