sank.
    I heard a loud crash come from inside and decided that it might be a good idea to find somewhere to hide and then think of what I should do. Running out on the main road I headed toward the city center.
    This was going to slow things down slightly, I thought, as we ran down the pavement. Spirit ran along side of me panting with her tongue hanging out of her mouth and her toenails clicking on the pavement. The sound of glass smashing from behind me had me run even faster, but I was beginning to tire. The rucksack was heavy on my back and the rifle that was stuffed in the top was just weighing it down even more. I needed to find some kind of transport and soon.
    I was scanning all the car parks and alleyways on either side of the main road and not really looking where I was going when I slammed into the side of a lone infected. I ended up falling to the ground on my arse looking up at her. She was slowly turning round, and if it wasn’t for the smell you may never had said she was infected.
    She was slim and had a grey tone to her bronze skin, her hair could have been any colour but it was so filthy that it looked dark brown. As her face turned round the side, that came first looked like would have been quite good looking when she was alive. But it was the second part of her face that screamed infected. From below her right eye down to her chin all the flesh had been torn away down to the bone, and I mean down to the bone. The contrast between the white bone and the grey/bronze skin gave her face an almost fake look. Her eye was missing and some of the teeth looked as though they had been smashed out and they had left the ragged stumps in her jaw.
    Her eye flicked round looking for me. I scurried back on my hands a few feet before trying to stand. Spirit bounded in between myself and the infected and barked. The eye couldn’t remain still. I looked everywhere but on me or Spirit. I clambered to my feet, and to tell you the truth I was puzzled. Here was one of the infected not three feet away from me and it was as if I wasn’t there. The infected lurched off in the opposite direction and I stood watching it bash into walls and then go in the other direction until it hit another obstacle. It was after watching it bash into the walls a few times that it dawned on me that she was blind.
    A small snort of laughter came out of my mouth before I could get myself under control. The infected stopped dead like someone had thrown a switch and turned round to face me. I clamped my hand over my face and tried not to breath or make any kind of noise. She turned back around and started her staggering lurch again. She must have been blind before she had gotten infected and because of that she was still blind.

 
    Chapter Six
     
    It never occurred to me that there would be disabled infected roaming the streets. But I suppose that it made sense after all the old and infirm would have been easy targets for the infected. I started heading toward the city again and this time I walked. Bumping into the blind infected had been one thing but bumping into a horde of normal infected might not be a good one.
    Turning the corner at the end of the street I saw a black car in the middle of the road with its doors wide open. Checking the street I headed toward the car. Nothing looked out of place and I looked at all the roofs and buildings around it. Getting within about four feet I walked round the car looking in each window in turn. I dropped onto my stomach and peered underneath.
    A cloud moved in front of the sun and that’s when I saw the dull red light under the car. It was hidden in the wheel well and I would have not seen it if it wasn’t for the dull red light. I stood up and brushed the small road stones from my trousers and set off again. I could feel the skin between my shoulder blades begin to itch. There was someone watching me. Spirit and I must have walked like this for the next two hours.
    We sat down on the steps of a church
