Washington Monument
July 2nd, 2017
0806 hoursSerge eyed the woman approaching him. He didn't like how she was getting in his personal space, but he tried to ignore her and finish what was left of his cigarette. To provide distraction, he thought about how he was going to get over to the Lincoln Memorial. He took a quick glance to the east, where the Lincoln Memorial was about 1 mile from where Serge stood at the Washington Monument. Between the two monuments were the World War II Memorial and the Reflecting Pool. No zeds on the horizon, but Serge couldn't be too sure. They could be hiding behind trees for all he knew. Hell, maybe some looters and other ne'er-do-wells already found their way to the National Mall. Serge would need to maintain constant vigilance.
Once his cigarette was done, Serge turned his head over to the young woman.
"What do you want?" asked Serge with a tinge of annoyance at his personal space being invaded.
