MY SOFT FOOTSTEPS were able to be heard as the night became darker and still. Though my body was stiff as I traveled my breathing was heavy.
I must have not entered the west since none of the symptoms of the air born disease seemed apparent on me yet. I sighed, thankful, but frustrated because I knew my distance from the kids and Samia was still quite far.
