  Summary

  I was doing fine surviving by myself, great even, but things changed when I found other people. People are problem. At least with the infected you are sure that they are trying to kill you, but people are tricky. I would've killed the man if it wasn't for the little girl with him, — and for the bleeding on my stomach, making me pass out before I could oppose myself to being helped.
