"I'm sorry Kenny" Dutch said shaking, his body bleeding out his head fell back as his heart stopped beating and his body stopped moving. I lied my head on his chest and cried, It was all my fault I shouldn't have let him walk me here or rescue me, I heard a whine and turned my head. Tormicks body lied on the road with little movement, I scooted my body over to Tormick and pet his head "I'll get you out of here" I told him as I pet his soft coat. I slowly got to my two feet shaking, my arm hung. My body bruised, I picked up my backpack that had fallen off and slid it onto my shoulders. I looked down at Tormick.

He can't walk and I've only got one good arm what do I do I thought looking at the wolf dog. I got on my hands and knees using one arm to slide Tormicks body onto the back of my neck, I held onto his front legs with my good arm. I got up slowly, Tormicks body rested on my shoulders and against the back of my neck. I limped down the road with weight on my shoulders, more than I could carry but I wasn't going to give up so I kept going. Every step along the road hurt, my body ached...I can't do this I kept thinking. We got to a cement wall that used to be a building. I stopped and took Tormick off my shoulders and set him by the wall slowly and gently. I set the backpack down then sat with my back against the cement wall. I looked at my broken arm lying limp on my lap, I looked at my body. I couldn't move much, I was weak I kept telling myself I won't live much longer. I can't do this anymore, I'll die if stay but I'll die if I keep going. Either way my life will end.

I sat by the wall for what seemed like hours, each minute felt like an hour, I looked at my wrist with the leather bracelet on it. I started to cry as I looked at it with a million memories and thoughts flashing through my mind, I looked up at the gloomy sky "Matt what do I do? Please help me" I said looking up, I sighed then dropped my head down. I waited for a sign, an answer but nothing happened. Their was no use in me getting up anyways. Casey and the others had probably already left this town their probably walking through the golden fields of land already. I hope they are. I hope they are where the sun shines and the sky is blue, I hope they are skipping through those meadows of the land with smiles on their faces. I hope they did leave me behind because I'm dying anyways. I already know my time is almost up, I do have one last wish though, a wish that I could just kiss her lips one last time and see that smile of hers, I know Max will be just fine in her hands.
