The undergrowth was waist high and despite being in the middle of summer, his footsteps echoed throughout the otherwise silent forest. His breath was muffled by the thick bandana that covered half his face but it still sounded too loud to him.
At least in the city, the wind roaring between the skyscrapers was louder than him walking over broken glass and broken bodies. Out in the forest, where everything else had the sense to run before all this went to hell, he was the only sound.
It had been a lose-lose situation - remain in the city and get tracked down by creatures that looked like a bear dressed as a gorilla, or head out into the countryside and start searching for other survivors. Even one other person was better than being in a world full of nothing but them.
