Chapter Sixteen
Mallory
When I woke up this time, I knew exactly where I was and what was going on. I was in a hotel. I’d just watched my car basically get rendered unusable by looters. My few possessions were strewn around a parking lot populated by roaming zombies. I felt numb. But I also felt refreshed. I squinted at the clock and saw that I’d been able to sleep a couple of hours
Still, I lay in the bed. I stared at the ceiling as I tried to figure out what my next move should be. Staying at this hotel was definitely not a good longterm solution. There were obviously zombies in the area. I still had a tough time thinking of those infected victims as zombies, but it certainly made it easier than thinking of them in a sympathetic way as former moms, husbands, and children.
