I suddenly wake up, and Norman is still standing above me. I’m starving, and I would love to eat bacon and eggs right now, with some sausages. I grab Norman to help me up. It doesn’t look like there is any rain coming down. We continue to walk through the mysterious forest. Several hours have passed, and it starts to rain again. We walk for a while until I finally see an exit from this strange forest. I’m relieved that the sun suddenly comes out as Norman and I continue to walk out of the forest. On the horizon, there is a large farm and a large house. I see crops, and all sorts of animals roaming around.
This place is hidden from the rest of the world. I take Norman back to the forest to hide where we can’t be seen. I observe the area for several minutes. I see people walking out of the house, and they tend to their farm chores as kids play around the farm. I look at Norman as he groans. The farm has everything that we need. I don’t take my eyes off the farm since it’s like a dream, but I hope that I am not dreaming. I see an old man in a wheelchair. The old man is talking to an older woman who may be his wife. The children continue to run around as other adults tend to their chores around the farm. This farm is full of friendly looking people, and the farm is perfect for Norman.
Everyone on the farm looks so happy. They must have no idea about what has been going on in the world since they are so far away from the city. With so many innocent people on the farm, I wonder if I should forget about the farm. I wonder if it is better for me to move on. I have a big decision to make, but I suppose it won’t hurt to meet them. I should probably find out what they know. I have a lot of planning to do, and I wonder if they will accept me.
If they don’t know what has been happening in the world, then explaining things won’t be easy. They might think I’m insane. For all I know, I could be walking into a trap. They can’t be crazy since there are so many innocent looking people around. I refuse to believe that the people on this farm are insane.
I think that everything will be fine, yet I will have to be strategic. I will wait and observe the area before I make my move. I will have to be more careful from now on. Things should go smoothly, and I can make it work. I don’t know what can possibly go wrong. I will try to stay positive about this. Norman and I can hold out here for at least a while. I don’t mind doing some farm work. I'm really excited about this new place.
I can grow crops and manage the animals. This farm seems a lot better than my house, and everything seems so peaceful. There are enough people living at the farm to keep Norman satisfied for a while. The animals will keep me well fed. Norman and I will have it so good here. The things that I'm going to do for Norman isn’t going to be easy. My life is full of challenges and excitement. Norman has nothing to worry about since I will take great care of him.
This farm is a paradise, and looking at the farm relaxes me. It will be nice to live somewhere that is away from the rest of the world. Surviving a zombie apocalypse is never easy, and it is not for the weak. A girl has to do what a girl has to do. I take a moment and continue to admire how beautiful the farm is. I don’t ever want to wake up if this is a dream. I look at Norman and hold his hand as we admire the farm together. Norman must love to see his next meals that walk around the beautiful farm. They must be pure eye candy for Norman. I can seriously say that we can totally live happily ever after.
“This place is so perfect for us. It’s our new home, Norman. It’s totally perfect.”
