So do you want to keep this strictly RP or do you want to have a casual non-RP conversation also?

Well, So Much for the World

Calvin had been walking down the road for about half of the day now, since the sun was well overhead and had been starting it descend back down towards the horizon, the road had been slightly more populated than the rest of his journey so far. He had to deal with 6 zombies so far today, one team of two and four separate. However that was something he expected since he was now getting closer to the dreaded Detroit since they had quite a large population it was eminent that more would wonder away along the roadway. Every vehicle along the road that Calvin had passed by he took a quick second to peek in the windows to see if there was anything valuable that he could use to survive. He was fortunate that he hadn't come across a situation that required him to need a gun to survive because he would be out of luck for that scenario. That was one item that Calvin really wished that he had, it would make him feel quite a bit safer.

Calvin had never ventured very far from the interstate 94 since it was the easiest path to take, no worries about getting lost since he would just have to follow the road from Chicago straight through to Detroit. There were a few times that he had to get off the road because of a few hordes, luckily there had been some wooded area just to the side of the road that he had fully utilized avoiding a crisis situation. He was also thankful that he had a cellphone since he would feel pretty miserable not knowing how long he had been venturing along this highway, feeling like it was a never ending process. Just imagine if he didn't have this compass that he wore around his neck and a map. He had so much to be thankful for at the moment and was praying that he would make it back to his son rather than be a snack.

While walking along Calvin had heard something that he hasn't heard in quite some time, however it had been a car that could have someone looking for their next camp meal. Calvin had been fortunate to have a car that was close by so he decided that he would jump behind the door and hope that they hadn't noticed him. However when he heard the driver of the vehicle slam on the brakes of the car he knew that was not the case. He took a deep breath and held the machete out in front of him, ready to defend himself if need be. The driver had overshot him by a couple of feet at least, however put the car in reverse and pulled up so that he was level with the door that he was crouched down behind.
The driver rolled down the window in the car, that sounded quite beat up but Calvin didn't have a deep knowledge of vehicles. Only when he knew something sounded or felt wrong, than he would usually take it over to his buddy who was a mechanic in return for a favour since dealers and automobile mechanics charged ridiculous rates.

Hey! Need a lift?

Calvin looked around making sure that this giant noise box didn't have any friendly followers behind it, since the place was clear he stood up so that he would get a look of the driver. Why should I trust you? You just appear out of nowhere and casually offer me a ride, besides you are coming from the east driving west and I am coming from the west traveling east. It would be slightly irrelevant to go back the way I came. He didn't really mean to sound rude since it had been the first human that he had seen in quite some time but he wanted to be a little cautious, he didn't want to come all this way just to become a meal for a cannibal camp or something.

Calvin had started to take a small stretch and started to walk in-between the running vehicle and the parked car that he had used for cover. As he finished stretching he looked down the road and took a mental note of all the vehicles that were in front of him since he didn't want to get caught out in the open when the sun started to go down. Calvin was a little bummed, the first running vehicle and human that he had seen in days and they were going in the opposite direction. Just his luck, the only thing that stopped him from physically taking the car from the guy was that he could have been trying to do the same thing as he was, getting to someone he loved.

Simon had no clue where he was going and now that it was dark outside he had found it even more difficult to find his way around without having the full benefits of sight since he was without his glasses. He was hoping that he would fair out better in the morning with the 'sun' full overhead. Given the amount of messed up things that happened and he had been told he wasn't completely sure it was a sun, maybe it was just a giant flashlight. Who honestly knew. He hadn't had much time to look around before the 'sun' had set since when he came to the 'sun' was pretty much set however he did manage to find a cave inside of a giant stone wall. Probably the one the wall that the waterfall that he could just make out since he assumed it was a little bit further down the wall.

For the night he was content since he had a place to sleep that was semi-enclosed which was a small bonus. As he was laying on the cold, hard ground he would hear his stomach growl extremely loudly. Being in a cave didn't help any since it only amplified the sound even more. The moment after his stomach growled the frog that he picked up and had taken with him had made noise since he had acquired him. *Croak, Croak* The frog was right in front of him, staring right at Simon, not breaking contact with him. Simon crawled towards the frog and looked it in the face and made a single croak noise back to the frog. Simon had fallen asleep shortly afterwards.

It has now been 684 hours since the apocalypse had started and 672 since he had last heard from his son. This has been the longest 4 weeks of his life. His son was with Calvins sister at during his business vacation. It has been no easy journey to get where he is now given where he had started but there was nothing that was going to stop him from being reunited with Jeremy, his son. It wasn't even his idea to be away from home but it was what his company asked him to do.

On the day that the world changed forever Calvin had been down in Chicago, Illinois having an important series of business meetings about bringing the company and expanding it down into the United States. It would benefit the company by expanding their client base and also greater profits. The last day that he had meetings Calvin had decided to he was going to stay the night and have a little bit of relaxation. He had a round of golf, a full spa treatment, and a three course dinner at a 5 star restaurant. It had been the third greatest day of his entire life; right behind getting his promotion to Executive Sales Representative and the birth of his child but definitely the most relaxing day bar none. Calvin used to he a heavy sleeper, however that trait has now vanished. The day that world had changed Calvin had slept peacefully until he noticed that everything was eerily quite in the hotel, usually guests wondering the hallway on their way to checkout or housekeepers tidying up the rooms. Today was different, silent. When Calvin got all of his belongings together and made it down to the lobby he hadn't seen a single person, which was weird given how busy it was the day before.

When he looked around he finally seen someone, they had been standing outside of the hotel doors banging on the glass like he was a celebrity and they were his fan. A few moments later a second one of them joined along side the first, again banging on the glass. Calvin had to stop and see if there was a celebrity behind him, maybe all the guests and staff were occupied with them. Just when he looked over his shoulder the two banging on the door soon smashed through the glass, that was when he realized something was wrong. Once they breached the glass they started hobbling quickly towards him mumbling some gibberish. "Umm hello, can I help you guys" Calvin shouted out sort of confused as why they were coming towards him rapidly. He took one step backwards but tripped over his duffel bag and fell onto the ground, the two figures lunged at Calvin as he screamed at the top of his lungs. The attackers grabbed on to his legs and started to bite and rip off Calvins flesh.

Calvins eyes ripped wide open, pulse beating extremely fast and his breathing was erratic also. Jesus he wishes that he could stop having that nightmare of what would have happened if he hadn't defended himself. Would have been a darn zombie snack, since that day he really tried to avoid large populated areas as much as possible. Well he wasn't going to get back to his son just laying in the trunk of the car, he crawled through the backseat of the car and checked to make sure that no zombies were having a stroll near the car. After confirming he was alone he opened the door and took a few moments to stretch since he had no clue how far he was going to have to walk before he had an encounter or found a working vehicle. After stretching he followed his morning routine as usual; he took a half of an energy bar he had in his backpack and a mouthful of water. The next step was taking out his phone and turning it on for one minute, he punched in the same number as every other morning [phone], this was his sisters cell phone. However he got the same message that he has been getting time and time again "The person you are calling is not available, please try again later" He than checked out the time on the phone and than shut it off again. He then took out his map marking where he was, the time that he started walking and the date.

He wasn't nearly as far as he had hoped he would be. It probably wouldn't have taken him that long if he could find a decent working vehicle with some gas but the fact was that never happened. The furthest that he had ever made it one vehicle was 220km, which was almost half the way to the Canadian border via Detroit, MI. Just thinking about how many of them would be in Detroit was just disgusting, utterly disgusting. If only he hadn't decided to take that relaxation day in Chicago he would have been on a plane on the way home the morning before. No point beating himself up anymore, that wasn't going to get himself home safely. Calvin put in his sunglasses and carried his machete that he could in the front seat of a car and continued to walk towards the border.
