Chapter 2. The pines speak
“My watch says 12:32 in the afternoon, so that's the time of this entry. I wish that I didn’t feel like the carrot on a stick being chased by hungry, feral, rotting, pigs. But god I’m so bored and tired. You know what! fuck it! I’ve been walking for 3 hours, I’m taking a break. “
Rudy sat down to relax and eat some canned green beans and sip some water. She stabbed the sharp side of her hammer into the can and ate. For half an hour she sat there with her nagging thoughts that she wouldn’t let herself itch and her fatigue that made her lay on her back. Until suddenly, she heard a female voice,
“Give me all of your food or I'll shoot!”
This gave Rudy a start and she jolted up into a sitting position.
“How long have you been watching me?”
“Long enough.”
“You know I have a gun too.”

“Well go ahead, make my day.”
Rudy snickered, “Ah a Dirty Harry fan I, see?” You could practically feel the blush, “How long have you been waiting to say that line?”
Embarrassments quickly turned to anger, the pines loudly proclaimed, “That’s it! Give me all of your fucking food or I'll shoot!”
Rudy had also been waiting to say a line “With what your 44 magnum?”, she said with a shit eating grin.
“Shut up!” A bullet whizzed past Rudy a good 2 yards away and hit a tree behind her.
“Be quiet!” Panic and realization slowly spread across Rudy's face, like a terrible fungus, “Be quiet! You’ve bene following me, right? Shouldn’t you know that there's a horde down the path a mile away!”
“What horde? I started following you when you passed me, and I didn’t see no horde.”
“What do you think woke me up, and what do you think caused me to be in such a hurry you jackass!”
“Well shit”
“Shit indeed”, Rudy said with annoyance to the idiotic stranger.
“Well Dirty Harry, let’s go!”
“Why would I go with you?”
“This trail only goes that way” Rudy pointed Infront of her” And that way “And Rudy pointed behind her with her thumb over her shoulder "And I would prefer that you don’t make the horde any bigger, I don’t need something hunting me that doesn’t have Rigmortis yet”
“Fuck you”
“Are you coming?”
There was a long pause.
*Snap* *Crunch* *Crunch* “I’m coming!”, The woman muttered in an inaudible voice, “God this is embarrassing.”
